or brushing her hair she considers
that she has lost so much valuable
time which she might have devoted TO

pride in scrubbing and polishing ordi-
nary furniture and belongings that

monetary outlay how much more

wrinkles and occasional pimples are
the usual enemies of a good complex

These defects can in nine cases out
of ten be remedied. They almost al.

of cleansing the skin and from poor
