LIEF OF SUCH AFFLICTED ONES.
As a reporter sat in a cable car the
other day he noticed pretty woman
enter. Pretty, stylish and trim from
head to foot-only one blemish, and
that decided, an humiliating one
She had apronounced mustache that
youth Of 20 would have enyied her.
Everywhere that one goes, in shops,
churches, theatres, this Disagreement
is noticed. Is there no remedy? Sensi-
tive women will resort to any and ey-
cry method to rid themselves of super
flluous hair. Scissors, tweezers, yes,
even razors are used, only to find that
the blemish will return as fast as it is
removed, and with additional strength.
There are many fortunate cases. A
young woman had a few struggling
hairs on her face. She noticed them
much more than anyone else, and grew
actually morbid on the subject One
day while having her hair shampooed
her hairdresser noticed them and told
her he could remove them. He pro-
duced a small stone, and by her per-
mission proceeded to rub them of,
leaving her face smooth and blushing
from the friction. He assured her
that if they returned they would be
much finer, scarcely to be observed.
Instead, in few days they appeared,
and to her horror she found they were
very much worse than before. In her
despair she again used the stone which
her hair dresses had persuaded her to
buy. This practice she kept up daily,
until her face was in trightful condi-
ton. However, remedy has been
found In electricity.
'It is the only way on earth to ef-
fectually kill this parasite" said a
we'll known physician to the reporter.
"a ny physician of repute will assure
you of that fact. Singeing, cutting,
pulling out by tweezers or depilatories
only make them coarser, rougher and
more bristling. The folicle must be
killed, then the halr falls out ofitself."
"Does it ever return"
sometimes few of the hairs come
back, but they are always black and
extremely easy to kill the second time"
ais it painful operation?" ?"
"Well, sometimes. That depends
good deal upon the sensitivcness of the
skin, and the nerves of the patient.
l find, though" he added laughingly,
"that even when it hurts pretty bad,
the ladies will endure it bravely-in
fact, woman will suffer any pain if
there thereby she is to be made better
looking
The reporter then asked permission
to be allowed to watch an operation,
which was granted. The patient sits
in reclining chair and holds bowl
of water on her lap, in which is immers-
ed one of the cords from the battery.
To the other is attached the finest pos
sible needle. The operator gathers up
the flesh about the obnoxious hair,
plunges the needle in deep, the patient
dips two or three fingers in the water,
says "Oh.' and waits. After a few
seconds the needle is removed and the
hair Is deftly picked out by the tweez-
ers The face is left little sore from
the operation, but camphor freely ap-
piled will heal it Camphor is much bet
than any oily substance like creamor
for they have q tendency to
make hair grow. There, is therefore,
no need for any woman to carry about
this hideous blemish, which sometimes
ruins an otherwise faultless cors.
