LITTLE SERMON ON BEAUTY.

LITTLE SERMON ON BEAUTY.
Guile Darcy in Chicago sunda!
Chronicle.)
Each hair in your head can be made
to shine" said the beauty doctor the
other day to a class of listeners.
Then, selecting from the audience z
woman with brown hair of drabbish
hue, she added; And you, my deal
madam, can have hair that is actually
glorious, for it can be made to bloom. -
1t was class of beauty seekers, each
member Of whom was willing to make
herself a little more attractive than
nature had originally planned. And the
teacher was a beauty doctor who had
been hired at good price to teach the
women how to perform this task and
even the more difficult one of how to
be pretty though ugly.
Nor were the majority of her pupils
ugly by any means, but many of them
lacked the touch which would make
them better looking. Those who were
plain wanted to remove, the plainness,
those who were pretty wanted to be
IlTch prettier, while those who were
beauties were willing to add to their
qualities the something which would
make them positively fascinating.
And the beauty doctor claimed to be
able to do that or a great deal toward
it. To quote her directly.
The hair is rightly called a woman's
crown of glory. But. alas. she does not
always make the most or the best of
her crown.
"A crown of the right sort should be
brilliant with all the polish that can
be bestowed upon it. 1t should be ar
ranged becomingly upon the head and
there should be nothing lacking when
You look at it, either close at hand or
from distance.
Now, when you come to hair there
is all the difference a. the world be-
tween dark hair and light hair. And
there is all the difference in the world
in the manner of treating each.
Light hair requires one kind of SOAP |
one kind Of a shampoo, one kind of |
brush, one kind of a curling medium. !
While dark hair, on the other hand re-
quires exactly the opposite treatment"
And so, discoursing upon how to treat /
dark hair and how treat light hair.
the beauty lecturer neld her listeners
for the two long hours of the lecture.
One Of the principal points made was
that, while light hair looks better curIed
dark hair is more becoming if worn
straight
] light hair, being soft, may lie in lit
tie curls upon the forehead and in the
NE of the neck. 1t should be kent
very light and fluffy and the more the
appearance of abandon the doing this
as of doing every other thing, ana
though apparently careless.
Light hair, when curled, should not
be touched with the tongs after the
hair is all dressed, to make the little
rnglets which so becomingly trams

over a moderately warm iron. And in +
curling it the iron should never be hot }
for light hair curls easily, nor should I,
the curls be twisted too tightly. for 5;

and half curled
In curling light hair one can wet the :
hair with weak cologne water; then, as :
1t is partly dry, one can give it a turn 7
with the tongs and, behold, the hair IS h
curled.
But with dark hair it is different. p
Dark hair all artists agree, is prettier G
if worn straight-the straighter the bet h
ter.
