To Avoid Pasty, Shiny,
Streaked Compilations
(From Beauty's Mirror)

Those who abhor sticky, greasy
shiny, streaked compilations should
religiously avoid creams, powders and
rouges these heated days. There's no
need for them, anyway, since the vir-
tues of mercolized wax have become
known. No amount Of perspiration
will produce any evidence that you've
been using the wax. AS it is applied
at bedtime and washed off in the morn
ing, the complexion never looks like
a makeup. Mercolized wax gradual
ly takes off bad complexion, instead
of adding anything to make it worse.
1t has none of the disadvantages of
cosmetics and accomplishes much
more in keeping the complexion beau
tifully white, satiny and youthful
Just get an ounce of it at your drug
gist's and see what a few days treat
ment will do. Use like cold cream :
Another effective summer treatment
heat tending to cause wrinkles and
flabbiness-is a skin-tightener made
by dissolving 1 OF. powdered saxolite
in u pit witch hazen. It's use Gas a
face BATH leaves no trace.
