Severe shocks from intense fear or
great mental distress and serious illness
are the only known causes which turn
the hair prematurely white, and even in
such instances it is not always perrna-

hair turns snow white in spots following
every attack, but in few days the color
returns. All the bleaching agents in
common use for tightening the hair af-

are made to bleach the hair close to the

To Make Attractive Curves.

Exercise of the muscles of the mouth
is an important means of developing
the lips, making them firm and flexible
and imparting to them attractive curves.
Unfortunately we, as an English speak
ing people, have deplorable habit Of
moving the muscles of the mouth but
slightly in speaking. 1t is to this habit
that faulty enunciation and slurred
speech are due. and it is the reason We.
as a people. are such poor linguists. 1t
is a grave error in the training of chill
dren that they are not drilled TO the
clear articulation which would give flex-
ibility to the muscles and greater mo-
bility to the mouth.
To overcome this fault stand before
a mirror and utter the vowel sounds
clearly and distinctly, prolonging them
slightly, TO give the fullest play to the
muscles. and note the different forms
the lips taken when thus exercised. Then
try some such combination as this: All,

more. uttering each sound slowly. firmly,
and distinctly. with utmost fiexibilitv
