New York, Nov. 11.-Any woman who
can make two strands of hair grow where
only one grew before is a benefactor of
her sex, and she who can and does do this
thing says that, barring only a few very
untoward conditions, there is no reason
why every woman 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
induced TO revive its quality, and the first
demand she makes is that her patients
shall give their heads plenty of sunshine,
