The skin is thick- er and has a tendency to an oily ap- pearance.” For either the faded blonde's skin or the brunette's oily or’ sallow com- plexion, the best remedy is ordinary mercolized wax. Used daily; this wiil give one an entirely new complexion within about a weelk's time. The wax gradually absorbs the worn-out sur- face skin, with all its defects, a little each day, without affecting the deli- cate underskin in the least. The latter will have the exquisitely beautiful glow of youth—indeed, one may read- ily lose ten or fifteen years from her age, so far as appearance goes, by a course of this simple treatment. Mer- colized wax, securable at any drug store, is applied like cold cream. —_— OLD" MYSTIC New Books for Sunday Scheol Library —Schoolmates Meet Aftor 57 Yoars— Harvest Supper.
