A BEAUTIFUL PENS A LETTER. A remarkable utterance from Mrs. Maesmore-Morris, classic beauty was pro* verbial throughout the length and breadth'of Australasia. New Zealand has not forgotten Mrs. Maesmore-Morris, the Melbourne society woman, whose stage triumphs were largely also the triumph of her beauty. There was a certain demure sweetness about her that appealed alike to the women and the men. She had classical features and charming eyes. But, most of all, she had a perfect and most radiant complexion. Mrs. Maesmore-Morris has ceased to be an actress, and has become grande dame, since she went to London. She now lives in comparative retirement, the idol of a select circle, whether she be in town or down at her delightful country place in Worcestershire. When she heard of my marvellous success in introducing the Valaze preparations to Great Britain, she could not repress the desire to emerge from the privacy of English country life for long enough to tell me how pleased she has been over it. The letter is here reproduced. It is, indeed, a remarkable tribute:— “ I would not be without Valaze for the world,” she writes, “ and my skin is not a bad advertisement, as you know.” And that is gospel truth, for Mrs. Maesmore-Morris’ skin is one of the loveliest in the world. Well, now you know the secret: She has always used Valaze. When she went to London, where Valaze was not then obtainable, she soon found it necessary to send to Australia for it. Although Mrs. Maesmore-Morris bestows unqualified praise on Valaze, she still only expresses the unanimous opinion of all women who have used that sterling article. Skins vary, and conditions are worse in some cases than in others, when the use of Valaze commences, but the great skinfood is “ so marvellous ” —as was written by Sweet Nelly Stewart, who has not been without Valaze for the last seven years. A lady of high standing in the Dominion’s social life, whose name, well known to every woman in New Zealand, discretion forbids to mention; has written: “ Valaze is as necessary to me as fresh air.” Valaze Skin Food is essential to those who desire their skin clear, soft, and smooth, free from speck and freckle, supple and unlined. Jars, 4s and 7s. In New Zealand not infrequently there is bitter complaint of the hardness of the water for washing purposes. Hard water, owing to the lime and noxious salts it contains, causes deterioration of the best complexion, while it positively aggravates a bad one. To overcome this great drawback, when it is wished t» wash the face, two methods are recommended. One is to anoint the face with that scientific new preparation, NOVENA CERATE (in jars, 2s and 3s Cd), washing freely over it, then wiping and drying in the usual way. The other method, when the first is not convenient, is to add to the wafer VALAZE WATER SOFTENING PASTILLES (in glass tubes, 6 for Ss), which will not only soften it, but make it superior to rain water, and increase its cleansing power. The VALAZE COMPLEXION SOAP, which should be mentioned in this connection, is not only exquisite, but the most wholesome known. 2s 3d a cake.

A good deal of surprise (says' the Christchurch “Press”) has been expressed in shipping circles at the statement circulated by a Southern paper, that the. captain of the steamer Invercargill has no fewer than seven islands besides rocks and rocks awash marked on Inis sailing chart for Dusky Sound, and not one of these is set down on the authorised survey man. This, according to the. southern journal, is a condition which seems to call for prompt alteration. Several shipmasters, when questioned by the shipping reporter of the' “Press” regarding the above matter, said the extraordinary part of the matter was that the .carp-tain of the Invercargill had marked the numerous dangers on' his charts, but apparently had not thought it worth while to report them to the Marin© Department. This, they thought, it was his duty to have done, as . notifications of these dangers would have been given to those interested, and the islands and rocks would have been noted on many other charts.
