A Better Clay
A white, perfected clay did this
By Edna Wallace Hopper
After 40 years us u famous beauty.
I still look like a girl. Thousands
who see me dally, on the stage and
elsewhere, marvel at my youthful
bloom and contours.
Hut mine was largely a cultivated
beauty. French beauty exp<rt«, rnaiiv
years ago. taught me how to do it
\nd my girlish looks at my grand!
old age are due to the helps French
scientists created.
I have supplied these helps to!
countless women, and they secured
like results. Plain women became1
beauties. Women old In years have |
warded off every sign of age 80 1 (
know these helps can bring to jmll- !
lions what they crave. And I have]
decided to supply those helps to ill
who wish to use them.
Fir*t, new-type clay
Many years ago French expert
taught me. to use day. They said
ihat famous beauties of all ages had
employed It.
They then used crude and muddy
clays, like many use today. Uui
they have since perfected clay by 20
years of scientific study.
liy countless tests they have found
the supreme clay, a rare mineral
laden clay. They have learned how
to refine It, to remove the useless
mud. My clay today Is white and
' lean nnd dainty. They have found
added factors which bring new and
manifold results.
The clay l now u«e my Whip
Vouth Clay—Is nothing like the old
time clays. I have used days for
many years, hut no other clay has
ever brought comparable results. Ho
now I am having this new-type clay
made for all who wish to use It.
You must use clay
Clay Is essential to beauty at it*
best. It brings new beauty, and at
once. .Many women, in 30 minutes,
seem to drop ten years. I have seen
it make plain women almost raving
beauties. Clay users stand out every
where for their beaulifttl complexions.
How It restores and maintains one’s
youthful I.tooni ami contour Is shown
by my girlish face.
Youth Clay purges the skin of all
that dogs and mars It. It acts to
remove the cause of sallownesa,
blackheads and blemishes.
H brings the blood to the skin to
nourish and revive It. That brings
the rosy afterglow, so amazing when
you see It.
It firms the skin, jcombnts all lines
and wrinkles, reduces enlarged pores.
Thus It gives my skin, even at iny
age, the smoothness and bloom of a
girl.
No matter what your age. the
greatest kindness I can do for you is
to urge you to employ It. If young,
do It for added beauty. If older, do it
to renew your youth.
