like all her predecessors, Is received with
open arms and pooketbooks. The visiting

and to experiment to find an antidote for
fine traoings beginning TO etoh themselves
on her own smooth skin.

me when ] first came, but meeting those
who did know me, whose faces l had treated,

asked Who is your beauty doctor and then
came to me at once for treatment"
Els it true that you had letters from
Queen Alexandra to New York women Of

~No. l never treated Queen Alexandra.

my New York clientele represents the smart
set only. My price for q regular course
OF treatment, which takes three weeks-l
do not treat any one for less than three
veeks-is $500. Oh, no, that Is not high,
500 a week, when you consider that a
patient is treated once every day for half
an hour.
1T is not true that I have sold the right
to use all my recipes for life to two or three
American women for $50 900. No one but

gradients used in compromising n OF the
salves, and before the end OF the three
weeks course have used eleven different
preparations on a patients face, all Of
which are costly. One ingredient used In
one preparation costs $40 an ounce.
AN old face made young by using the
eleven preparations!
NO, but it will be made younger and
