INTELLIGENCE NOT VANITY

THE MOTIVE FOR BEAUTY'. Intelligence, not vanity, is the motive for self-adornment nowadays; the woman of pleasing appearance knows that she stands a greater chance of being successful, both in her job at home, than the slattern. But no woman can maintain a pleasing appearance unless she takes every possible care of her complexion. At 20 it is enough to powder your nose; but at 30 that nose may have have lost that lovely dull whiteness and become permanently red. It is a tragedy because when you are young it does not seem possible that you will ever be so afflicted, and that is W'hy you don’t take the care you should. So be warned in time! Red noses, like so many skin troubles, are caused through defective circulation, and you would be wise to make a conscientious nightly habit of patting your nose—after you have coldcreamed your face—with a camphor solution. Camphor, as you know, is very warming, and a weakened spirit of this is preferable to the oil. It is certainly preferable to the oil. It is certainly excellent for toning up a sluggish circulation, and you will find that it does really prevent the nose from reddening. Don’t rub hard and pull the flesh about as you apply it. Just tap gently until dry.
