value is SO string, and their price

Every woman's face needs good
cleansing cream, applied with more or
less frequency. As l have said before,
the best proof that n pure cream is
good for the skin is shown by the fact
that almost invariably actresses have
clear compilations, in spite of all the
makeup they arc obliged to use. And
it is commonly agreed that the reason
for such clear. good skins is the thor
ough cleansing afforded by the neces q.
sary use of frequent applications OF
cold cream. We'll. now, there is one
