In justice to French girls it ought to be
said that, apart from their weakness TOT
the hot iron, they treat their hair win ao-
mirable prudence.
They do not run to nostrums. Home
training in an old and settled society mas
ingrained in them certain principles.
Take, for instance, the use1ui practice VI

of a hundred and more years ago dlo not

very lightly. In the morning you will find
that the natural rubbing of the hair on the
pillow will have removed it-and the comb
will do the rest.
Eschew the Brush.
I say the comb. Here is another French
principle. Perhaps half the girls OF France
who take care OF their hair eschew the
hair brush, either absolutely or in at least
great part.

A Valuable Tip.
Then a quiet blue-eyed girl with magnih-
cent auburn tresses gave US a remarkable
tip. / pass it on to you.
'There is another way to undulate the
hair" she said. Mamma taught me. Her
mamma taught heretofore the word 'un-
