ed by without a glance Of admiration
has only herself TO blame. No mat
ter how irregular the features any
body who possesses a beautiful com
plexion' will attract attention any
where. 1t is now possible through
the use of Derwillo for anyone to
have a beautiful rosy-white complex
ion." If you would have a beautiful
skin, soft. smooth, and velvety, just
follow Miss Glaum's advice. oYu
can get Derwillo from the toilet
counter of any up-to-date drug or de-
partment store. 1t is famous for the
instant results it gives. Put it on
one side Of your face and compare
it with the other, you will need no
further argument to convince you
that it is away ahead of face powder
or other beautifiers. Be sure to read
large article by Miss Glaum on the
care OF the skin soon to appear in this
paper. In the meantime get Der
willo and try it today, you will be
astonished at the quick results 1t
gives.-adv.
