Yet even this has its remedy, as the wise girl knows. Before coming to the dance Phyllis bathes her face and neck with a solution of pure eleminite, which she rubs well into the skin with her finger-tips until it is quite dry. This done, her complexion assumes a peachlike finish which will remain unchanged during a whole evening’s dancing. I suppose every girl would like a new frock for each dance sho goes to? But evAn the unemployed would find that rather a etrain on the exchequer. It is a consolation, even if a poor one, to reflect that no amount of frocks will give a girl real prettiness—which is what counts in the end. A pretty complexion, which is the beginning of all beauty, is quite cheap, you know. For about one half-penny you can have a clean, fresh, new skin (not the old one cleaned up for the occasion) for every dance you go to. I expect any girl could explain this apparent mystery. For the benefit of those who cannot, here is the solution. Get some nu/’olised wax from the chemist. It is rather expensive but it lasts a long time with care. Smear it oyer your face before going to bed, not using too much, and wash it off in. the morning. The oxygen contained in the wax absorbs the outer skin which has become rough and coarse, and gives the now skin below a chance to show itself. Quite simple, isn’t it?

Certainly, the sort of complexion you get from using simple preparations like the above should be an asset in any beauty competition— even tjie cynic’s!
