Bad Compilations
Peeled Off at Home

The girl with the poor complexion
complains, Il have TO touch up my
cheeks. l am sallow and a sight, ana
only my makeup saves me-"
Now, as matter of fact, more wom-
en- spoil their good looks than improve
them with cosmetics. The practice
certainly is unnecessary, now that the
virtues of ordinary mercolized wax as
beautifier have become known. II
has been found that the wax has Won
derful absorbent powers. 1t causes the
faded or discolored scarf skin to flake
off in minute, almost imperceptible
particles, so gently, gradually, as to
cause no inconvenience at all. In this
way the old complexion is actually re-
moved--likewise all fine lines, freckles,
pimples, blotches, moth patches and
other surface defects, A new complex
ion appears clear, smooth, youthful,
healthy -hued skin such as no rouge
powder or cream can produce. Merco-
lized wax, to be had at any drug store
in convenient size package, is applied
like cold cream and allowed to remain
on over night. adv.
