so. kept the color in my little girls
hair until she was fifteen. and then she
had enough vanity to take care of it

A lady living on Fifth avenue has a
little girl with large black eyes and
very yellow hair floating over her
shoulders to her waist. The reporter
asked her If she did not possess very

her hair. l am partial to dark eyes and
fair hair. SO keep her hair bleached. "

and the acid makes it light. NY other

Ethel is the plainest of all of them, so
thought it was well to give her some
special advantage"
