cream OF a specially soft, creamy con-
sistency which helps it to sink gently
and quickly into that tender skin
tissue around the eyes. During the
Winter months when We have to use
so much electric light, the eyes are
apt to show the strain OF late-hour
reading, and a little careful attention
may help to smooth out those crows
feet.
This cream Is suitable for both day
and night use. For daytime a little
of it gives that dewey" effect to the
lids. At night be more generous In
the application to prevent that dry,
creepy appearance.
A companion preparation to the eye
cream is an eye bath for use morning
and evening to cleanse and refresh
the eyes and relieve any strain. AL
ways use an eye bath before dressing
for the evening. 1t makes the eyes
brighter and so enhances your gen.
eral appearance.
While on the subject Of eyes we
should like to mention particularly
effective mascara that comes in a
generous cake in a box provided with
a mirror. Made of the finest Oriental
kohl, it has no tendency to sting,
irritate or smart the eyes. Originally
this mascara was made in Cairo from
an Egyptian formula; now 1t is made
on the outskirts of France. Its in
gradients are of such nature and its
color so true that it will neither run
nor smudge. Neither tears nor per-
spiration will react unfavorably. There
are 10 colors of this mascara includ-
ing exotic gold and silver. To make
application easier there is double
row of bristles in the brush, rather
than the usual single row. For day
time, use one coat: for added evening
luster two coats are preferable.

on account of the lower price.
This perfume is a highly exciting
and exotic thing with a background
of thrilling history. 1t dates back
to the imperial Russian court OF 1888
the most brilliant and most luxuri-
| 80 Ill Tho ctnru he that
amid the mad struggle to win prestige
and power at court both courtiers and
ladies resorted to all manner Of subtle
conspiracies. Contests were waged
in secret laboratories to create the
most alluring love philters' as per-
fumes were then called. Successful
in producing a perfume that occa-
stoned an immediate furor, was a
young chemist, who, sad to say, in
stead of receiving a medal of honor
was punished for witchcraft and
finally escaped to Budapest.
The product of his genius, however
survived in Russia and became the
favorite perfume of Catherine the
Great and was used by her exclusively
for many years. The witchery of this
perfume has since that time, found Its
way to the large cities of Europe and
America so that its compelling scent
may intrigue you today as it did
royalty 50 many years ago. Today you
may try it oursef, and at moderate
price. too.
And last, but by no means least, Il
that marvellous new Spring treatment
