VENEERED COMPLEXIONS

It is hardly good manners to examine a woman's complexion to fee if it is solid or only veneered, but. it has happened that a visitor to the Jlaison Valaze has in all ■ seriousness a>ked Jllle. Helena Rubinstein lo rub a dainty cambric monclioir oY>_i' • her cfacek to se£. Jlademoiselle knows human nature, so she took the proposition good-natnredly, and as to her complexion, she is ouiy too eager to impress upon every woman that it is "Valaze" all over. And Valaze does not show up oti a handkerchief, for tho simplo nnd all-important reason that ■it is liot a make-up, a. snare, or delusion, hut a skin-food which is essential to t.ho proper care of the complexion. In winter it preserves tho shin's elasticity, smoothness, and beauty. Valaze keeps tho skin wrinkle free, without a blemish. Price, in jars, 4s. nnd 7s.
