The young lady who had evoked this
information concerning the hair CON
cluded to let her head alone. A few
questions asked at leading hair store
| on Woodward avenue elieiied about the
same information concerning the pro-
1 cess, but it was considered non-poison-
ous, and in evidence thereof three young
ladies with golden locks, who were
clerks In the establishment, were pointed
out. They were all bleached, and while
their hair was pretty enough there
was an incongruity of face and feature
that seemed to have the effect of bodies
with heads on them belonging to some
one else. The infantile colorof golden
hair needs peculiar eNprpssion, dress

gTitian delighted TO paint is the dearly
beloved of fashion. The redder the hair
the more valuable it's splendid ruddy

name Of derision, but Of honor. A young
man who was taking girl with red
hair out to ride drove up promptly to
her fathers door, called out cheerfuily:
"Now! Ready!'' and can not under
stand to this day what she snubbed him

looking liquid which the hair-dresser
calls s.bleach, and which would hardly
