1. An advertising agency in Shanghai placed the first lipstick and vanishing cream advertising in Chinese papers about 35 years ago, and since that time the advertising and sale of cosmetics have been important businesses there. It must not be assumed, however, that such asvertisements started Chinese grils on the cosmetic road to beauty. Five thousand years ago, according to authentic Chinses history, Chinese girls were plucking useless hairs from theri eyebrows and putting rouge on their cheeks. The oldest retail shop in China is an establishment in Hangchow, which was the Chinese equivalent of a beauty shop centuries ago and still does a thriving business in rouge, talcum, and other aids to daintiness and beauty. The best Chinese customers for cosmetics, though, are the married women and not the debutantes. Chinese women discovere many centuries ago that, if they would make themselves attractive enough, their busbands would willingly employ servants to do the cooking and scrubbing. the result is that Chinese women are the most perfectly groomed in the world and, everything considered, enjoyed a beauty kit. only aged widows deny themselves such vanities, because the use of cosmetics might imply a desire to remarry, which would be looked upon as wantonness.
