The address of the day was delivered by Henry Meyer, chairman of the ADVERTISEMENTS. Pears’ “ Beauty is but skin- deep” was probably meant to disparage beauty. In- stead it tells how easy that beauty is to attain. “There is no beauty like the beauty of health” was also meant to dis- parage. Instead it encour- ages beauty. _ Pears’ Soap is the means of health to the skin, and so to both these sorts of beauty.
