THE STRAND MAGAZINE. THE PERMANENT REMOVAL OF SUPERFLUOUS HAIR. A Lady Will Give You Her Secret Free. For years I have searched for a simple and satisfactory way to remove superfluous hair from the skin so that it would not return. Experiments proved to me that the various pastes, powders, de- pilatoriesjelectrical appliances, &c, now on the market were often injurious, and not lasting in their effects. At last I discovered a plan which succeeded in producing marvellous permanent results where all others failed. A fashionable Parisian lady who followed my advice says : \" My face is now soft and smooth, and no one would ever think it had been disfigured by a growth of superfluous hair.\" Others write : \" It seems too good to be true. Well, the test will tell. No matter how much or bow little superfluous hair is on your face, neck, arms, or body, I am confident that you can now remove it permanently and with perfect safety. I will send full information regarding the secret of my discovery absolutely free to every woman who writes at once, but this offer is limited to a short time only, so do not delay if you wish to benefit free. Address KATHRYN B. FIRM1N (Dept. 474C), 85, Great Portland St, Ixmdon, W., and you will receive full particulars by return post in a plain sealed envelope.

You only obtain this in BIRD'S, the Custard of surpassing excellence : its delightful fragrance and rich egg - like creaminess, always appeal to the little ones. Dr. Gordon Stables says : \"BIRD'S Custard never disagrees.\" Take no risk. Accept no Substitute. Insist on BIRD'S. SOLID VALUE. Water is cheap. That is why you get so much of it in common toilet soaps. PEARS, however, is all pure soap in every particle, so that although its first cost may be a trifle more than that of the ordinary kinds, it lasts so long that its ultimate cost is very much less. Thus as a matter of economy alone, it possesses undoubted advantages over the low priced soaps, composed of water and low grade materials which injure the skin. is both MONEY VALUE P ears ■I ;il -L ADVERTISEMENTS F0R \"THK STRA\"D MAGAZINE\" should be addressed ADVERTISEMENT DEPAHTMBNT.
