scalp spreads. so to say. the glands and
capsules are unable TO fulfill their func-
tions. and the state arrives which We
have Just described. Or. again. the too

causes the head Ia catch dust. excludes
hair. clogs the respiratory pores. re-

The most conSumaiing insult and in

seems hardly necessary io mention. as
bleaching has gone SO entirely out Of
fashion that that peculiar form of ruin
is not likely soon 10 be generally re

50 much admired that dyes 10 disguise

body Of taste. A beautiful young oua

N custom that will hardly be shared
by m generation To- ONE Accustomed
10 admiration of beauty. her dislike Of
n few gray hairs drove her tn the use Of
a dye, and as she continued il from day
30 day with gentle applications for some
years. she had the satisfaction of seeing
her beauty To all effect u~nimparied. and
hid not the remotest idea that the
work of silvering was all the time
going on with fearful celebrity under
the dye. and that every day increased
the ravagcs i'm the dark color Of
her 10 ks, if the truth were known. But
frequent and violent headaches at las.
made her physician and her husband
positively command her To cease the
dyeing. and to cleanse her hair thor
oughly of the dyes. She went with her
detergenis into the rather dark bathing
room. where there was no mirror. rs il
CHANGED. and spent an hour or two in
the process Of washing and securing.
and ut length came out into the light, |
pausing before n mirror as she did 90. |
That first glimpse of herself was a hor-
riblc revelation: she had gone into the
adark-haired beauty in the guise
of youth; h oma in the mirror had
the long gray hair Of age falling round
her white face. The sudden change
was too much for her tried and tired
nerves. and she fell in a dead faint on
the floor. II is fortunate for others that
the fashion Of gray hair is likely to save
them the blow Of so sudden a change
from the appearance of youth I o that Of
age.-Harper's Ba,dr.
