And woman who can make two strands
of hair grow where only one grew before
is n benefactor of her sex, and she who
can and does do this thing says that, bar
ring only few very untoward condi-
tions, there is no reason why every wo-
man should not retain the luxuriant
glossy richness of her hair until the day
of her death. Another cheerful assertion
of this scientific hair doctor is, that by
proper and persistent treatment hair
that is losing gloss and color can be in
dueed to revive its quality, and the first
demand she makes is that her patients
shall give their heads plenty of sunshine.
fresh air and water.
When a patient first comes to her for
examination and diagnosis of her scalp
and tresses, she let's down the length of
her locks, runs her hands all over the
head, and, adjusting her spectacles and
a powerful electric light. studies her sub
ject. If you have thrown yourself on her
mercy because silver threads are appear

BILE has not gone too far, counsel one SIM
pie expedlent, that of uprooting the white
strands as soon as they appear. In
youth, with good health and no heredita-
ry tendency to grayness, this serves as a
check and often as a preventive, for as
sure as twice two is four one gray hair
brings another, and it is better to pluck
out whole handful of long strands and
east them from you than permit the en-
tire head to become infected.
Added TO these instructions, she warns
all patients who suffer from incipient
grayness to get their heads out of doors
and into the sunshine as much as possi-
BILE Americans turn gray sooner than
any other nation, because of the indoor
lives they are obliged to lead. Peas
ants, and especially the Latin and
Southern races, keep the color of their
hair the longest. In France, Italy and
Spain, where the winters are short
and the heat of the summer drives
people out of doors. a gray head is a
curiosity, except among the very aged.
For this reason golfing. bicycling and
walking out of doors without a hat
is warmly advocated by this hair doc
tor. but she strenuously urges her pa
tients never 10 let the hot summer sun
beat directly on their locks. A fierce
sun dries the hair too much, while in
winter she advocates the habit of sit
ting in a sunny window and shaking
the tresses. combing them out over the
shoulders and permitting the bright light
to soak into the scalp.
Now, in America explained this
artist, as she sat before one head in
the most deplorable condition. the
women because of the climate and the
hot houses. their highly nervous or
ganiZations and the modern intellectual
requirements, suffer from diseases of the
hair rarely known abroad. II you bring
an Irishwoman from the moist. equable
climate of her green country, her hair
in the United States would begin to fall
out by the handful, and no power can

acclimated, but the growth never re-
turns, and the sudden changes of tenn

troubles. her hair grows hard and is
apt to lose its gloss, and this is the result

THE hair is nourished as much by what
one eats as the blood and flesh is. SO
