asites which are carried into the

kind Of treatment you can free
your skin from these disaguting
blemishes-and as the new skin
forms each day, you can make 1t

"Questfor
Beauty?"

On Fifth Avenue. in New
York, is located Elizabeth
Arden's Venetian Salon
dOro. Miss Arden has
studied different methods
of treating the skin, both.
abroad and in America, but
has a method Of her own,
in other words, the ARDEN
Way" which is the best
way.
While it requires a little
time each day, every wom-
an may retain almost in
definitely t h e exquisite
natural coloring and soft
texture Of her skin. Re-
garding these, Miss Arden
says, massage, while gen
orally effective for other
parts Of the body, where a
slight stretching of the
skin leaves no i'll effects, is
positively not to be recon-
mended for the face, be-
cause it tends to destroy
the resiliency Of the under
lying tissues and to stretch
the skin producing flabbi-
ness and wrinkles.
