Middle Aged Women

ing of every year should leave
mark on woman's face. If there
We're good reason for premature
wrinkles and age discoloration of the
skin, all women would be similarly
affected.
There are many women of forty
who do not look more than twenty;
there are many women in the TWEEN
ties who look as If they were in the
forties. A little care and attention
will keep off the wrinkles, dark or
yellow spots and other blemishes of
the complexion for many years.
Women who have been most sue

pearance do not resort to paints,
powders or other cosmetics. A simple
yet effective complexion beautifier is
made by dissolving an original pack
age of mayotone in s ounces of witch
hazel. Massage the face. neck and
arms daily with this lotion and the
skin will be fresh, fair, smooth and
velvety, Wrinkles, wild hairs. patches
and other blemishes can be prevented
by the use of mayotone and witch
