way.
"A slight change in style will add or take
away five years in a womans face. It will
give her style or make her old-fashioned.
and it will soften and beautify her face or
make 1t hard and plain. A pretty face often
looks common when the hair is badly treat

should study her style Of hairdre8ing as
she does her clothes. She should try q
dozen or more ways. It's woman's duty
to look pleasing. and what she does she
ought to do well. believe in doing things
thoroughly. When you are good. be good
with all your might, and when you are bad,
be bad with a will. Don't be half-hearted.
That is why admire man so. Whether
he is good or bad, he is pretty thorough.
A Great Believer in
Soap, Water and Air.
ITO get back to the hair again. Notwith-
standing all that Is said against frequent
washing, I think the greatest beautifer Of
che hair is good soap and clean water. No
hair can look beautiful II 1t is not clean.
and those who are misled by those who
preach about tho danger of frequent hair
baths suffer for their cupidity. Let the air
and some sun get at your hair. It's awfully
good. It's life and tonic to your hair, Just
as It is to your body.
Don't maltreat your hair. 1t can break.
Treat 1t as you would fine skein of silk.
