your tests so entirely different from the
so-called opticians and quacks pre-

fully justified by the benefit received. l

closed. You have not only improved my

has adopted to herself style that is a

left her presence all you remember is a
sheen of satin and film Of lace, statu-

sweet, genial face, two loving eyes and a
crown of FURNISHED hair. This is just as
it should be. In the street she wears
soft gray and fawn colors, and every

never obtrusivs, yet is remembered be-
