man famous for her own beauty and
charm-Harriet Hubbard Aver. Mrs.
Aver is the greatest beauty expert in
New York. She has the sincerest of
OF absolutely no value, commercial or
otherwise. Nearly all the advice given
to in regard to their beauty,
nearly all the formulas presented for
their consideration are faxed or re-
hashed from the advice and formulas
OF Mrs. Aver, who has made this branch
OF science the study of a lifetime.
Mrs. Aver is not now connected with
any business enterprise along these
lines. Her advice and assistance is
promulgated through the columns of
the New York World. whose circulation
sac has ~perceptibily increased. Her
Office is a curious sight, with its heav-
ny packed bags of mail from thous-
andS of women all over the country
asking advice as to the preservation
and augmentation of good looks. Mrs.
ayers experiments with ugly girls are
amazing. She takes a comparatively
plain young person, and. changing her
diet, sleeping hours, clothing, soap,
| cosmetics, ETC., transforms her into
the sem5lance of beauty.
But Mr.. Aver is a philosopher, and
believes beauty to be more than skin
deep. She teaches women that ugly
thoughts make ugly wrinkles; that dis
sipation brings bleared eyes and ruby
tinted noses and purple veins and
mottled skins; that sweet, wholesome,
serene lives bear their outward and
visible signs in sweet, wholesome, Sc
rent faces.
Mrs. Aver has just issued a book on
these topics which will be a treasure
troye to every woman who desires to
improve her personal appearance. 1t
is an exhaustive treatise on the ever
new subject of beauty, beautifully sup
/ piled with illustrations that tell their
own story.

One of the triumphs of the nineteenth
