I bave paid my first call at Mme. Landau's beauty parlour and although it has only been opened a few days it has attracted quite a number of customers. I found me. Landau herself busy giving a cleansing for which she uses a method of her own. She guarantees with her pro- casa to remore, blackheads and at the same time to freshen up the whole com- plexion-She told me that her specialty- is almond parks and that they are doing wonders.

The other day I was going to purchase some bath salts when all of a sudden I thought I would have a change, some- thing different from that which I have used before. I asked for ammonia and bought a bottle of ammonia perfumed with lavender. Of course, it is a little more expensive than the ordinary am- monia and I think the latter would serve the purpose equally well..

We may use bath-salts as a luxury or as a necessity in cases of illness or great fatigue. In the latter cases I could; hardly recommend anything better than ammonia. It makes the water soft and refreshes

ELIZABETH ARDEN, whose mart Salons are frequented by the most beautiful women of the fashionablo workd, sands these wise 'suggestions to all women:

Don't mistake the cultivation of livelines for make-up. They are miles apart! It is wisdom, of course, to make subtle mas of fine rollet accessories to enhance and accent the features and the tataral colouring But it is tragio to try to bida blemishes with cosmetics, for each year you will grow. more dependent on these artificial means of concealing the ravages of your unwisdom.”

Learn to care for your skin scientifically, to keep it young and saturally lovely. Quicken a cirealation, that carries off poisons and brings fresh colour to the cheeks. Nourish the tinues to keep them rm and round . Drive away all signs of age by holding the keen contour and the radiant sparkle of youth. You can!
