TO EVERY WOMAN.

Every woman who craves beauty, and in whose heart rankles the bitterness of fading charm, should cherish the certainty that, by the aid of Mademoiselle Helena Rubinstein’s “Valaze’’ the sinking, flaccid tissues grow more robust and firm, the wrinkles become fainter, the muddy, drab, freckled, weather-beaten skin becomes smooth, clear, and lustrous. The cost of this indispensable preparation is 4s and 7s.

A brief mention may be made of several of Milo. Rubinstoin’a specialties, amongst which is her Novona Hair Destroyer. This specific instantly removes the hair from the face without the slightest detriment to the skin. It loaves a delicatelv cool sensation, which is so different from the usual effect of other depilatories. 5s fid. Novena Pasta will bo found of great benefit when used in conjunction with the Novena Hair Destroyer. It should be applied after the Hair Destroyer has been used, as it soothes, softens, whitens, and preserves the skin. 2s and 3s fid. Then there are powders. Mile. Rubinstein is the first Complexion Specialise to differentiate between the dry, moist, oily, and normal skins' when advising the use of powders. She therefore supplies the Valazo Complexion Powder for greasy, overmoist skins, and the Novena Poudre for dry and normal skins. Each in three tints. 2s fid a box. Next in order would be the Valaze Skin Tonic, which ’s an anti-wrinkle lotion, astringent, antiseptic, soothing, and stimulating, a tonic in the truest smise of the word. It is a safeguard against lines and looseness of the skin. 3s 9d.

Valaze Lip Lustre protecta the lips from the wind and cold, prevents cracks, chaps, and sores, and restores the full and rich lip colour to dull and blanched lips. 2a and 3s All chemiste, or direct, post free, from Mile. Helena Rubinstein. 62 Maison Valaze, Strand Arcade, Auckland.

obtaining a high polish is to have a number of clean polishing-cloths —old pieces of silk make nice finishing ones—and use plenty of “elbow-grease.” Most young wives like to make up their husband s collars, but get disheartened after repeated failures, as the usual directions to mix the starch to the consistency of cream are very vague. The correct quantities are: —One tablespoonful of starch, one teacupful lukewarm water, one teaspoonful borax (dissolved in boiling water), and four drops turpefltine. Dissolve the starch gradually in the lukewarm water, then add the borax and turpentine, dip the dry collars in the starch three times, rubbing well each time, then wring tightly by hand, and fold in a damp cloth. Iron in the usual way, and finish oft with the glossing iron.
