H-w few people know what a good
complexion is! A very young man is
apt TO think that the girl whose com
plexion is wonderfully white. with just
a spot OF pink in her cheeks. Is lovely.
Now, any doctor could tell him that n
course OF cod liver oil was what that
girl wanted. An elderly man is apt 10
think that woman with "a very high
color possesses AN extremely good
complexion; nine times out OF ten she
either laces too tight or eats too much.
What Is good complexion, then? A
good complexion Is one that comes and
goes--not from the rouge pot or tho

creamy background in harmony with
the eyes and hair. over which there rs
"A good shading OF pink that deepens
when any emotion Is iclt or which

good complexion can always stand n
