MRS. CONDE MAST
on the importance of being beautiful

TN Mrs. Conde Nast's apartment
that morning sensed the hustle

ingly in the background and Mrs.
Mast herself, from the cut of her shoes
to her black bengaline frock with it's
white organdie collar and cuffs-was
the chic, the youthfulness of Paris
itself. While her line free, exquisitely
cared for skin bespoke youthfulness
as eloquently as did her clothes.
"Paris was never so fascinating"
Mrs. Mast was saying. 1.-The clothes?
Marvellous! So chic and simple of
line, so unadorned! But they call for
youth in the face as we'll as in the
figure. So the smart woman must
keep her skin youthful-radiant."
"What did you do for your own
skin while you were abroad?" asked
her. 1T looks perfect
Il took plenty of good cold cream
along" replied Mrs. Mast. II posi-
lively depended upon it for cleansing
Ponds of course"
Evening star., 1925-02-08

Then we talked of both the famous
creams Society women are using to
keep that youthfulness of skin Mrs.
Mast finds essential for harmony with
the mode.
This is How to Use Them
Once a day at least, and especially
after exposure, smooth Ponds Cold
Cream literally over your face and
neck. Let its pure oils bring to the
surface the powder and dust with
which the pores are clogged.
Repeat this process, ard finish with
a dash of cold water. Let little cream
stay on all night if your skin is
inclined to be dry.
For the delicate finish you want by day,
smooth in a light film of Ponds Vanishing
Cream. 1t is instantly absorbed, giving your
skin such soft, lustrous finish that now your
powder goes on smoother than ever before
and clings longer. And you are perfectly pro-
tected against winter cold and wind. So be-
fore you 60 out be sure to use Ponds Vanish
ing Cream. The Ponds Extract Company,
