It is most important that the skin should be cleansed morning and night with CLEANSING CREAM, as this cream dissolves and removes all dust and powder from the skin, It leaves the skin clear and smooth,
To tone the skin pat on ARDENA SKIN TONIC, this is a mild astringent which clears the skin and closes enlarged pores.
Some skins may need a stronger astringent; for that type of skin SPECIAL ASTRINGENT is excellent. It firms loose skin and flabby tissues, braces "and lifts drooping muscles.
Now nourish the skin with ORANGE SKIN FOOD if you have a thin face or lines and wrinkles. This cream is excellent for filling out hollows and removing wrinkles.
If you have a full face then VELVA CREAM is used; as this nourishes the tissues without fattening the skin, in any way.

genlus have frequently been found right down al the bottom of a large family of nonentities.
It is true that many first-born hawe been distinguished. There is a theory that the first- born of able and intel ligent parents will "möst readily reproduce their tine qualities, but that the first-born of humble parenta will himself, be humble, although in the precess of raising dozen the may produce one who will soar hloft.
Eldest children are. commonly thought to be highly emotional and

not over-clever. If that is so, heaven help us twenty years hence when we are dominated by hordes of only children. But there is no exact science in these matters.

IN ORDINARY families the birth of a second chikl knocks the first off his pedestal, and that early fall fdoes him good. Also he ceasca to be "baby," and probably becomes a plain, sensible person, unsung and unsinging. No. 7 or No. 8 in a large family remains "baby" ́into adolescence, and bitterly he resents these. memories and eagerly he applies his energies to grow above his elders.

This at least la certain on this Aubject: that no school, university, club or society will ever roplace lu an only child the family fireside as a sprouting-kround of young emo- tions.
And, greatly daring, I would say this is certain: you never met the middle-aged mother of one child who did not wish she had half a dozen.
