Gray Hair.

"Gray hair is honorable"-so rms
trite proverb that is often fiippantly
uuoted-but there are few women who
do not regard with at least some little
regret the fading and changing OF once
bright and glossy tresses. Provided
there is no hereditary tendency to pre-
mature grayness. 1t is quite possible to
keep the hair unchanged past mature
life. The present style of hairdressing is
most inimical to healthy state OF the
hair. All the natural oil, which is go es'
sential to its nourishment and requisite
for 1t to retain Its pristine color, 10
metbodically washed ont in order that
the tresses may be frizzed and crimped
70 meet tbs demands Of fashion. Hot
curling irons burn out the natural oil,
and this destroys the very life OF the
hair. But where is the use of going over
the ground Of protest travelled so often
before? Few take heed or warning until
prophesied consequences appear. and
then there is great cutlery as II some,
thing grievous and totally unexpected
had happened. 1t is surprising how will

had its own impressive emphasis;
