Wave the Hair Naturally.

From the New York Herald.
Most important in waving the hair in the
great fluctuations which are so popular for
the pompadour effect just at present is to
make 1t look natural as possible. The
point Of difference between naturally waVy
hair and waves created by the curling iron
is that the former undulate evenly and
match all over the head, no matter from
what part the hair be combed. The waves
mt into each other The artificial wavelets
are all sizes. and jog at every inch or So
showing an unevenness OF heat in the iron
and no regard FOR making ends hit together
While it is not possible to perfectly coun-
terfeit nature. still, having decided upon
the sort of couture desired, the waves can
be manufactured surprisingly even. The
first lock having been waved all others
must match il in size and direction as II
the whole head were waved in one impress
sion of the hot iron. This can be done ac-
curately by taking a few hairs from the
first lock and combining them with the sec
ond to measure the waves This must be con-
t.nued all round the first lock, and extend
all around the head. Only in this way can
a waved couture be made effective. The
iron must also be of even temperature
throughout the whole process, otherwise
one wave will be tighter than another.

gram. A hustling young New Yorker
who was recently established in a branch
of the oil business had set out TO get the
patronage of a certain firm. The head OF
the concern was reluctant to make a
change.
THE oil we have been getting has not

The rejoinder pleased the old gentleman,
and he became a customer.
few months later the hustling young
man was Obliged to make a journey and
in his absence through some oversight the
quality of oil was allowed to deteriorate.
1t was quickly noted, and a letter now on
