WIFE NO. 2 WOULD GIVE up
MATET0 RUSSIAN wife NO. /
SACRIF ICE
FOR LOVE

One Of the tragedies OF the World
War was revealed today when Mrs.
Sonia Shoofal. 1907 e st. N. w, filed
suit in the District Supreme Court
for annulment of her marriage in
1919 TO Jacob Shoofal.
There Is behind the suit an Enoch
Arden story of wandering husband
who believed his family had been
wiped out in the Russian revolution.
In 1917 Shoofal was drafted into
the Russian army. He never saw
his wife or children again. Their
village was pillaged by the invading
armies, and Shoofal's wife and chill.
dren. were listed as dead.
After the war Shoofai came to
America.
He married again in New York in
March. 1919. By her he now has
one child. Ruby. aged Z. Nothing
was ever heard of his Russian family
until December. 1922. when, through
an advertisement in a Jewish paper,
he learned that his oldest daughter,
by his Russian wife, was alive and
had heard he was in New York. He
sent her money to come to America.
The daughter told her father
that she had become separated
from her mother and brothers and
sisters during the invasion and
never saw them again, and was
told later that they had been
killed.
In 1923 Shoofal learned his wife
and other children were alive.
The second wife then details how
the husband. torn with devotion for
his first wife and children and his
second wife and seven-year-old child,
shrugged to support both families.
Now she tells the court, through
her attorneys, Simon Hirshman and
Maurice M. Grudd. that her love
for her husband prompts her to
have their marriage annulled, in
order that he might go back to his
family whom she feels has a prior
claim TO him. In order that Ruby.
their only child. might have the
benefit Of her fathers name she
asks that the annulment decree
carry with 1t a proviso that the
child be legitimatized.

Is
y0~rskiYy z
dry?

DERHAPS you have the kind of
l. skin that is over-dry, with
drawn feeling after you wash it ;.
with a tendency to burn at the first
touch of wind and with maybe
just hint of that dreaded creepy
look around the eyes -.
For you Pinaud's New Cream
will be a revelation!
For here is preparation that
will cleanse your skin of every
particle of dirt. but so gently, so
easily that there is no unpleasant
drawn feeling. Here is a cream that
even in cleansing actually helps to
normalize your skin and to leave it
supple as we'll as exquisitely clean.
Simply apply Pinaud's Cream
according to the directions given
under the illustrations. Then after
you have dried your face, apply
second very light coat of this fra
grant cream. This will act as deli
cate emollient to soothe a tender
skin to keep it soft and free
from wrinkles.
Use Pinaud's Cream just once
and you will begin to understand
why skin specialists declare it is
the most important step forward
ever taken in skin care!
Pinaud's Cream comes in the
most exquisite container imagin-
able-a beautifully proportioned
jar of jade-green glass! Ask for
Pinaud's at your favorite drug or
department store today and dis
cover for yourself this preparation
that is revolutionizing the care of
the skin.
Evening star., 1927-11-20

Apply Pinaud's Cream to your face and
neck with your finger tips, smoothing it
in gently. Even its feel is delightful as its
cooling oils sink deep into the skin, col.
lecting the dirt, relaxing the tissues and
bringing wonderful freshness to the skin.
Evening star., 1927-11-20

AM you perhaps you are
n bothered with skin that is
too oily nose that shines at
the first excuse and an inclination
to blackheads -.
The most important thing you can
do for such a skin is to keep it ex-
quisite!y, meticulously clean. Give
your pores a chance to breathe
to function normally, and the oily
condition will be relieved.
To do this, use Pinaud's Cream
according to directions. 1t removes
not only every particle of dirt but the
excess oil as we'll. Afterwards rinse
your face again and again with very
cold water-Nature's own astringent.
Gradually the pores will grow
smaller. the oil glands less active
the skin more delicate and lovely.
The secret of this remarkable
new cream is its normalizing effect.
1t cleanses so gently, so thoroughly
that Nature herself can correct
whatever condition is wrong and
keep your skin as exquisite as it is
meant to be. Use Pinaud's regu-
larly and discover what Nature does
for your complexion when she has
a real chance.
Perfected after fifteen years of
research and experiment, Pinaud's
Cream is different from any other
cream ever devised. Endorsed by
famous skin specialists praised
by lovely women, you must actually
use this delightful preparation to
understand it's remarkable cleans
ing and beautifying effect.

Last of all, pat your skin dry with a soft

rinse it again in the coolest water you
have. If it is dry-apply a second very

your rouge and powder.
