QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.


Mrs. M: Ny hair, which was once
naturally curly. is growing straight and
dark. What do you recommend me 20
dc to restore it, as curly hair was De-
coming to me.
| have never before heard of curly
hair becoming straight, and would nor
know what to advise. As d rule curly
hair remains curly to the last halr II
is barely possible that you have let,
your hair become oily and heavy. which
would account for its growing stra1gh@
and dark. In that case, shampoo IL
with kitchen soap and hot water. It's
curl should be restored.
Miss A: Please give me q curling
fluid which will surely make \straight
hair curly.
There is only one curling fluid which
will do this. and it is the curling sub
stance which is employed upon the
skins of animals to make the hair curt.
Ii is, however, so harmful to the hair
that / do not want to give it's ingre-
dents.
w. D.: Is there a simple curling To-
ton for the hair?
Shampoo the hair. wet it with spirits
of cologne diluted with water. Roll III
metal curriers', and, when quite dry,
press with warm iron, letting the iron
remain upon the curls until the hair IS
perfectly dry. This may take as long
as eighty seconds.

make a good lotion.

o whom the juice of pineapple acts as
rank poison. Others cannot eat straw
erries. What is one mans meat is an
Their mans poison. Remember that.
