we ruthlcssly and rccl1lessly curlcd
and waved our hair to the greatest pos
sible extent. The front, the back and
the sides of our head all presented
beautiful crinkly appearance that was
most dear to our hearts. Any little
stray pieces we could discover were
subjected to the same process - the
heated iron was produced and the lock
wound firmly around it until it lost all
vestige of its original appearance. Ard
we pursued our mad course until one
fine morning, when we awolsc to the
fact that our wavy locks were falling
away; that it would not be long before
they utterly disappeared if we did not
soon call halt. Instead of getting
longer. our tresses were really, in some
strange, mysterious fashion, growing
shorter. 1t didn't seem possible at first,
but actual measurement proved it to be
81 fact.
Then came the resolve. which has
been so steadily adhered to ever since
We determined to renounce our curls
forever, and strive after the smooth,
glossy, satiny appearance of the hair of
our grandmothers. The curling irons
were pushed aside in utter contempt,
and stiff brush was brought out from
its long retirement. Everyone told us
to brush; and brush we did, and brush
we do still, and brush we shall until
that gloss appears. When it comes
We'll brush to keep it there. Then, of
course, we use all the washes and the
dry rubbings as we'll, to help on the
good work
There's another factor in the opera
ton, and no mean one, assure you. A
nightcap, girls, is the very thing we
want. Don't shrink back at the word;
you don't know how pretty and charm
ing nightcap may be made, if You
haven't tried. Silk must be the ma
terial, for silk softens the hair wonder
fully. Muslin will never add the soft
sheen to your trcsscs that silk will So
get pretty cap, all rufflcs and ribbons
and little lace, and wear it faithfully
all the year round. And you'll be rewar.l-
ed when you pass your hand over the
smooth locks, and find them growing
smoother daily. Put your hair back
bravely. Don't mind if doesn't look
pretty at first. If you want to be con-
soled for your appearance, just look at
your neighbours hair, and you will in
all probability find that she is pursuing
the same course as you, with the same
result.
How shall we arrange our hair when
it has been satisfactorily polished?
There seems to be great laxity this sea-
son in the regulations regarding styles.
There is not, as SO often, one fashion
that every woman follows, be it becom-
ing or not. Women wear their hair
