How a Woman Holds a Mans At
fections.

A wise and observing person stated
the other day that many a wife com
plains that her husband does not take
her out, that she only sees him at
meals, or that he makes friendships in
which she has no part Further, that
she blames him for neglecting her, and
thinks herself ill-used; yet, he is only
following the natural instinct of hui
manity-the fault is really hers. The
easiest way a wife can hold her
husbands affection and sympathy is
by Beauty, which is possessed by using
the great DR.. T. Felix Gouraud's Orien-
tai Cream, or Magical Beautifier; it will
render your skin a soft pearly white
ness, free from tan. pimples, freckles,
moth patches, and all blemishes Of the

The Oriental Cream has stood the test
of the public approval for fifty years,
and still gaining more. Gouraud's
