Before me is my picture as a girl. Few girls would envy me my looks. But I made myself a famous beauty. And I've kept that beauty to grand old age. I am still on the stage play ing young girls parts, and I still look girl of 19.
 I have helped many girls to careers of beauty To many women I have brought decades of added youth. So ] am convinced that millions can attain the benefits I got. I am going to help them do it. Now l am placing at every womans call the very helps which made me what l am.
 White Youth Clay
 I found my greatest help in clay. Not in the crude and muddy clays so many still employ. My Youth Clay, perfected by French experts, is white and clean and dainty. It is a superclay, based on 20 years of scientific study. No other clay that I know is nearly so efficient.
 Youth Clay purges the skin of all that clogs or mars it. It brings that rosy afterglow which so amazes and delights. It firms the skin, combats all lines and wrinkles, reduces en- larged pores. Many users, in 30 min utes, seem to drop ten years.
 No girl or woman who once sees it's results will ever go without it. The cost is soc and S1.
 My Youth Cream
 My cold cream is another French ere ation. l call it my Youth Cream. It contains both lemon and strawberry. Also all the best that science knows to foster the fine texture of the skin. You have never known cold cream to com- pare with this.
 I apply it after my clay. Also as a
