If you would retain—or regain—a throat that is youthfully lovely, follow the simple, scientific treat- ment for crepy throat which Dorothy Gray evolved through years of study. The same preparations which have proved so remarkably successful in all the Dorothy Gray salon treatments may be had in our Toilet Goods Section, while the Dorothy Gray method is clearly explained in a valuable booklet which is yours for the asking. The preparations used in the Dorothy Gray Treatment for crepy throat are: Dorothy Gray Cleansing Cream Circulation Ointment Special Mixture, a rich emollient cream, and the Dorothy Gray Patter Orange Flower Skin Tonic, a mild astringent ‘Astringent Lotion, a contour astringent THE EVENING ‘TorLer Goobs, FirsT FLOOR, STAR, WASHINGTON, MONDAY, i')ECEMBER 17, 1928 Plated Silverware Illustrated Silver-Plated Salt and Pep- per Shakers, the set, $3.
