Culture Are simple Compared With
Ancient Luxuriousness Hygiene
the Latter Day Magic.
The secret of eternal youth, so eager.
ly sought by the magicians of all cen
turtles and sought In vain, has almost
revealed itself to the present genera
ton; at least we have its watchword,
which is hygiene. For youth means
beauty, and beauty means health, and
the skillful beauty specialists accom-
plish all their successes by means Of
rational methods based on a careful
study Of the causes that may affect 10
its detriment the health Of the skin.
In the dim back ages Of the world Of
civilization beauty was made a cult Of
the utmost moment. but for many a
century after the downfall of the Greek
and Roman empires such matters were
allowed TO langulsh. Not until the de-
clining years of the nineteenth century
was the subject reinstated as one Of
paramount interest. But today beauty
specialists abound-some for face treat
ment, others for manicure and again
many more for electrolysis.
OF course these treatments are ex-
pensive, but ii is worth much to a wo-
man to be rid of n careworn express
sion. Moreover TO feel that her youth
and therefore her beauty is somewhat
restored has a beneficial influence upon
her mental state.
