"A thing of beauty is a joy forever To the fastidious ladies of Hong Kong, we would call their attention to the fact that Maizee's are sole representatives for the world famous cosmetica manufac- tured by Helena Rubinstein, whom incidentally put out a very in- teresting little booklet on facial make up. It is interesting to note, that Helena Rubenstein was the Brst beauty specialist to combine laboratory research with an early training in art. All her effects are tested on living models and scien tifically reproduced in her labora- tories. A call at Maizee's will con- vince you.
