STRAIGHT vs. CURLY HAIR.

Heavy straight hair cannot always
be dressed becomingly, save in braids,
but the owner OF feathery, curly
tresses can generally make the best OF
them. When the waviness is not
natural, but acquired, care must be
taken lest the pins and tongs used in
the process iniure the hair at the
roots, especially at the top of the
head, where bald place is enough to
depress woman's spirits for life.

often do 30 now, by way of exciting
