THEY HAVE EMOTIONAL HAIR.
Iondoncrs Who go Gray" ard Black
Again Within a Few Hours.

Not only is emotional" hair well
known to medical specialists, but
every hair dresser of experience rec
oSnizes it frequently In connection
with his own customers.
With some peculiarly constituted
people the hair is affected by every
passing emotion, and not only does
1t reach the extremes Of crispness,
but it varies in color vastly. This
latter popularity is SO we'll recog-
nizcd by every hair dresser tha, some
members of that calling a:e prc1arud
to say definitely Of a given regular
customer, Blank is not well, or he
has some great trouble on his mind
Just now"
Many man who appears exceed
inG.y gray on one day is comparative
ly dark haired the next, and cases
are known where the single white
locks Of hair that sometimes are
found on head otherwise wholly
black have disappeared almost entire
~ and then come again. That It to
say, the white tuft has gone almost
black like the surrounding hair and
has then become quite white again,
and SO on.
We all know what use Shakespeare
and other dramati3;S and poets have
made of the influence OF emotion upon
human hair, but one of the most ctl-
ebr2ted detective inspectors now at
Scotland Yard said to the writer in
regard TO this very subject:
When l have put my hand sud
dsniy on to tho shoulder of some
man | was arrosting | have actually
heard the rustlinG CT his hair, or
thought that l could; at least. have
seen all the hair about the ears palp-
ably move like that Of an animal,
and when that man has been sen.
fenced aft5rw2rd his hair that had
before seemed to be crisp ana byistly
has appeared darl: and thin ana

Two OF the best known hair dress
crS in London have assured the wri:
er that they have customers who 20
gray and black again within few
hours. One instanccd the case Of
financial maSnatc who came to grief
ana was tried for fraud. During the
proceedings he went iron gray. but
directly he had been acquitted his
hair returned TO its normal color
of course, quite without any artificial
means.
Another strange fact is that there
are a comparatively limited number
of people whose ha!r will never take
any dye, no mater what it may b.,
successfully and thoroughly. Bott!e
