WHY SOCIETY WOMEN
HAVE PRETTY FACES

How often so many Of US admire
the beautiful complexion OF society
women and wonder why" writes Mae
Martyr, authority on beauty matters,
in the Seattle News. Their good looks
and pretty faces are generally the re-
suit of the greatest care ami precau-
ton In using identifying preparations.
THE day is passed when powder finds
favor with the knowing ones. It has
been found to clog up the pores and
cause rough, sallow complexions. II
instead of powder women generally
would use a simple, inexpensive lotion
made by dissolving four ounces spur
max in one-half pint hot water with
two teaspoonfuls glycerine added, the
matter of beautiful, charming faces
would soon come to be common thing
This lotion clears and beauties the
skin as no other preparation will II
does not show like powder or rub on so
easily, and for taking away that shiny,
oily, sallow look is uneQualed."
