what Brings ON wrinkles.

IT does not require a microscope for the
average woman who has passed thirty
years on this mundane sphere To discover
that time, life or care has left it's imprint

sonal appearance that my observations may
be taken as accurate. Yes, only one wrin-

downtown. But think of having one line
for every succeeding shopping expedition
