Madame Jackson says that car ing for the skin is Hke washing clothes. While the average house wife wouldn’t tolerate dingy clothes, thinking the colored wash-; erwoman should know better, she will let hcr skin grow dingy and yellow when it could be kept white and dainty with the proper cure. The Elmo toilet niticlcs include every requisite for the complexion, according to Madam Jackson, and she extends an invitation to the I women of the district to call to see her and learn some of her secrets of beauty culture and how to kook young though old and, better still how to retain the youth that is the rightful heritage of every woman under 50 years of age. that the house and everything it contained had been left to Joan according to the will, but he also knew that he would he less con spicious there than at a hotel even though he was sure I was going to l^e with his sister.
