MISS MARIE ROBINSON

Miss Marie Robinson, personal overseas representative for Innoxa Beauty Preparations, England, is at present in Dunedin at the D.I.C. She is a bonny young woman five feet «°ven and a-

half inches in height, slender, and with a beautiful figure, the result, no doubt, of her two favourite pastimes, swimming and golf. She is fairheaded, but possesses a pair of dark brown eyes and a complexion suggesting even more than cosmetics—the bloom of perfect health. An outdoor girl for Miss Robinson believes in health as the first essential for beauty, but concedes that health alone is not sufficient; cosmetics are necessary to preserve the healthful appearance and to ward off the onslaughts of time, the face being the part of the body most exposed to climatic changes and to the effects of emotion. She is proud to be an ambassador of Innoxa. because it is the beauty preparation recommended by the British medical profession, and is made from the formula of a doctor and skin specialist. Cosmetics, she says, can alter a woman’s personality, allow her to wear any colours she chooses and any shapes of hat, and add fascination to her character. She demonstrates tricks with rouge and eye-shadow to prove her point, and shows how natural is the complexion created by Innoxa which, as a make-up. is very light. The array of jars and bottles at her disposal contain no magical hocuspocus, but, she says, commonsense needs for all women—a milk cleanser, so much more penetrating and thorough than cold cream, foods to nourish the skin, oil to tone up eye, mouth, and chin muscles, eyelash grower, and rouges and cosmetiques. “ There is no excuse for any woman to feel plain nowadays.” she says. “ Science has come to the aid by means of preparations such as these, and time stands still helplessly when a woman fearlessly and resolutely takes him by the forelock.”
