ISiirnl Beauty Transligurctl. 
The features of our country belles ure not 
surpassed In comeliness by those of their city 
sisters; but as they .are more apt to expose 
their faces to the wind and sun, they Impera¬ 
tively require a toilet accessory, like “ Laird's 
Bloom of Youth." to Impart that refined and 
delicate beauty to their complexions, which is 
the crowning charm of womanhood. All rough¬ 
ness, tan, freckles or other discolorations which 
Interfere with external loveliness, disappear 
under the healthful effect of this standard cos¬ 
metic,’which blends the lily and the rose on 
cheeks where Nature Jins forgotten to plant 
them, and keeps them forever fresh and fair.
