WOMEN PRETTIER TO-DAY.

Authorities on beauty agree that
women Of to-day, and chiefly middle.
aged women, are far fresher, prettier
and younger looking than were their
Dlothers at the same age. The cause
is plain. Present-day women, who
have pride in their looks, give few
minutes each day to preserving their
complexion against the ravages of
wind, dust and age. 1t is strange how
many women will still spend half
hour day on their hair and not a
minute on their compilations, aside
from a hasty wash. Yet men and
women notice ones complexion almost
first Of ALL. And unfortunate is the
woman who has sallow, muddy skin
or wrinkles that make her seem an old
woman, though still comparatively
young. A few moments devoted to
the face several times week will
keep young women young and good
looking, and to large extent make
prematurely old women seem many
years more youthful There are many
face creams which promote and pre-
serve ones good looks, but care should
be exercised to select one of the
standard brands sold at your druggists.
