1 Was No Beauty As grl-tiA these ways made me so
By Edna Wallace HobPer

I was not a natural beauty. Many girl had finer hair, figure and complexion. But my mother went with me to search the world for the greatest beauty helps in existence. Those helps made me famous beauty. and kept that beauty to my grand old age.
 l have seen those helps bring null tiplied beauty to countless young girls since then. They have brought to many friends of mine decades of added youth. That is why l now am helping millions to obtain them.
 The supreme help
 Clay is the greatest beauty help that ever came to women. Famous beauties have for ages used it. Now in every circle you see it's marvel ous effects.
 It purges the skin of all that mars or clogs it. It removes the old skin, leaving one a baby-like complexion. It firms the skin, combats all lines and wrinkles. reduces enlarged pores. No girl or woman who knows it's results will ever go without, ,.i {.
 France gave to me super csGI white. refined and dainty. It sNss based on 20 years of scientific stlffy. No crude and muddy clays can bring comparable results. l call it my White Youth Clay. 'To that I owe my youthful bloom, which countless women envy. Now that White Youth Clay is at your call. The price is 50 cents and $1.
 MatchIess creams
 My Youth Cream is the greatest cold cream science has perfected. It contains both lemon and straw berry. Also all the best that science knows to foster the skin texture.
 I use it after my clay. Also as q night cream. Also daytimes as a powder base. Never for one hour
