ed as very beautiful, and 1t is-only on tts
rarest occasion that the bair dresser finds
q customer who wants 1t dyed. They must
never be pulled out. for. as is well known,
such an operation is very injurious to the
eyes. -
The hair turns gray, monsieur explained,
because OF the oyer-abundance OF certain
minerals in the blood. That is the reason
said he, that the stories OF peoples hair
sometimes turning suddenly white in
single night through Tear or other causes
are not true. 1t is impossible, though
something extraordinary may start the
change on the organic matter flowing TO
the hair, and the change thus begun VIII
have been accomplished in about three
months.
The reason so many American men are
baid monsieur explained, Is because they
have their bair clipped so much when
young. The men abroad do not do this,
and the clippers in the foreign barber
shop are not known Hence the foreign
cousin is usually blessed with q heavy head
of hair. While Monsieur admitted that
close cutting made the hair grow faster
and thicker while tue youth is growing
yet through that very reason 1t is inJuri-
Gus. II makes 1t grow too fast and with
out sufficient strength for while, aud
then the tables turn, aud repeated clipping
Will result In utter badness.
Again, udluuchS IN cibcu tnt Teeuib Ot
great brainwOrk and it frequently happens
that men think their hairs away. This rule
though has its exceptions to prove it, too.
for monsieur says that among bis gentlemen
customers Is professor who is Known to
be great student and thinker and that
about three times year tue professor must
have his locks shorD like SIMPSONS In order
to stop their oyer-luxuriaDt growth.
Monsieur says that lots OF care should be
taken In washing the hair. In fact that
is the great feat OF the professional hair
dresser. The head does not want TO be
given q massage treatment as II one We're
saDdpapering u piece of woodwork. Think
of rubbing che nose violently up and down,
says he. Only those parts Of the body
where there are muscles are intended to he
treated to the drubbin8 they get in
massage parlor. Wash the scalp and hair
gently, says he. for there is NO necessity
| in clawing the latter out.
And then monsieur las way of drying
| the hair. 1t is q tall machine that is not
a little bit suggestive of the back Of an
| eiectrocution chair when IL is moved up
behind tue patrons chair. An awning
| shaped protuberance extends over mad
| amoiselle's head after the locks are washed
| and then the gas is lighted in the little
| furnace below.
There are no squeaking fans to annoy mad
amoiselle, and while, the heat is taking
| away the moisture she sits reviewing
| an album of photographs of the heads of
nobility to see which head dressing she
admires the most. In twenty minutes at
| the longest her hair is dry.
'Zat machine is my own invention"
said monsieur. Its funny. My nose put
| re idea into my head. Eat awning look
| a little like nose,to but Eat was not it.
| 1t was ze smell of re drying hair. So often
re lock were dirty, an when zhey were vet
| zhey smell SO badly an ze fan made 1t worse.
Ny machine take away all re dieagreeable
odor."
Monsieur said the hair of the people of
| Southern nations is generally coarser than
| that of their Northern cousins.
