THE HATRDRESSER REFLECTS.
HE TELLS STORIES OF HUMAN VANITY AS
DISPLAYED IN HIS BUSINESS.

The hairdresser was. Is not unusual with
members OF hts profession. in laxative mood.
He was also inclined to mediate upon the vani-
ties Of human kind which ne has admirable
opportunities 10 observe.
IF it wasn't for the fact that people think so
much Of their looks" he said. I'VE should lose
three-quarters Of our business, and might as
well shut up shop. 1t is wonderful to me. al
though you'd think nigh, be used to il by this
time, 10 see how much trouble people will take
about their hair. Just now the most fashiona-
bic shade OF hair among women is deep red
dish brown or bronze. To get that color we
bleach the hair TO a blonde shade and then dye
ii 10 the proper bronze tone 1t is a very slow
job, for there must be five or six applications
Of the bleach and then the dyeing takes good
deal Of time. The whole process requires an
entire day, and women will come in here and sit
from morning until evening never losing pa
thence If they only think the result will be be-
coming and stylish.
But that's only one Of the ways in which
they show their vanity about hair There
lots Of others. Why 1 had a woman come

But. madam, said it is a shame to cut

suppose that woman's hair was worth 10 me?
Thirty dollars-not cent less, She went away
with a heavy brown wig, which was hdeous
compared with the hair she had just lost.
1T isn't far. though. 10 lay al the vanity
