ELIZABETH ARDEN, whose smart Salons, aro frequented by the most beautiful women of the fashionable world, sonds those wise suggestions to all’women:

Don't-mistake the cultivation of loveliness for make-up. They are miles apart! It is wisdom, of course, to make subtle use of fine toilet accessories to enhance and sorent the features and the natural colouring. But it is tragic to try to hide blemishes with cosmetics, for each year you will grow more dependent on these artificial moans of concoal- ing the ravages of your unwisdom.

Learn to care for your skin scientifically, to keep it young and naturally lovely. Quicken the circulation" that carries off poisons and brings frosh colour to the checks. Nourish the tissues to keep them firm and round. Drive away all signs of age by holding the keen contour and the radiant sparkle of youth. You can!
