When Women Get Sense. AN OPEN LETTER TO THE LADIES. Dear Madam,— You will agree at once that time flies and opportunities do not stay. But did it never strike you that the average woman, for all her cuteness, is for ever wasting her best chances? It does not matter what walk of life you are in; the older you look the more rapidly and surely do your opportunities diminish. It does not pay to get old. By the time a woman is thirty she begins to realise this. But why not get sense sooner ? You see, getting old means merely looking old. So long as you look young, it doesn’t matter in the least what the actual number of your years may be. Years bring intelligence and wit ; and the effective woman of thirty is a far finer and more charmingcreature than the average chit of twenty. If you want to keep the youth of your looks, it is only a matter of using your intelligence and taking a little pains. The position is plain enough. To look young you must have good hair, and ,enough of it; and your skin must be clear and wholesome. If you are losing these precious gifts, the ordinary hair lotions and complexion creams will only make you lose them quicker. Nasty lotions destroy the beauty of hair and skin alike. The complexion built up of cosmetics never convinces, and in the end it becomes so wretchedly bad that further disguise is useless. This is where John Strange Winter comes to the help of her sex. As a woman’s -woman, she long ago recognised woman’s need, and went to work.- She studied, and made herself intimately acquainted with all the conditions that affect the hygiene of the hair and skin. Next, she carried all over the world her investigation of ancient and modern modes of beauty-culture. In the end she settled in India, and she secured a lot of ancient documents and treatises dealing with the toilet of Indian beauties of the great age—women who, in their day, were famous throughout the world for their loveliness. It was in the course of this investigation of Indian lore that Mrs Stannard discovered Lakshmi. It is the one perfect and efficacious skin-food, used either as a lotion or a cream, or in both forms. It never fails to produce good results , and xt is positively and permanently beneficial to the skin. John Strange Winter’s Hair Food is a remarkable Hair Producer. It forces luxuriant growth. It is not a quack nostrum invented to filch the money of foolish people. A bottle lasts so long that the Hair Food is not, perhaps, quite so good a business proposition as the Company would like j but the user gets the benefit. Hair Food, 8/8; post free, 8/0.
