the hair begin to sprout where once there
was a desert.
Il did this for my patient and she said
oh, thank you'll with tears Of Joy in her
voice.
Then I changed the color of her hair,
though I knew it was not the thing TO do.
But | did it so carefully that it was not
noticeable. 1 made it slightly bloom.
People noticed how we'll she was look
ing, but they did not divine the cause,
namely, that the color OF her hair had been
slightly lifted. Lifting is the only word
to apply 10 this change in color
Il took her hair and l shampooed II,
and, while it was still damp, l dipped II
in a very weak solution Of benna tea. |
made it from five cents worth OF henna
leaves, and / merely sozzled her hair in

was immensely becoming.
Il use a great deal of false hair, though
that isn't exactly the term for. the little
ments; the tiny curls which | pin on here
and there.
Il use them as I see best. I buy
them by the yard and select the little
strings as suits my fancy.
There Is one OF my customers who IS
afflicted with a high forehead and a terrible
hair line. l make her up as carefully as
though l were dressing a manlkin.
Il use tiny pin curls upon her temples,
for her temples are bare. and pin curls

cred, and l put a little wisp of them in the
hollows at the back of her neck.
"Then | marcel her hair on the improved
plan, and l place aColonial comb in II; one
Of those tall combs that are handsome
enough all by themselves.
If the hair is very poor indeed l put
in pin ourls and marcel 1t, and set count
less little ringlets around the knot. Then
| put in an antique comb, one Of those dull
gold affairs that are too handsome for any
but the daintiest of use. In this way ]
make the hair attractive.
Il understand my business, and when the
hair is black / make the most of it. A
woman came in the other day with hair like
ebony. IL was long and black and rather
heavy, but it was not groomed.
There were gray hairs scattered through
it, and the rest Of the hair was rusty looking.
So | got at il.
Il took the hair and / washed it. Then /
put q glossy substance in il to make il sb line.
around the face, and / finally waved il in the
new way When l had finished IL the woman
was a picture.
Waving the hair in the new way is some-
thing Of a job. IL must be so carefully
done.
aThe waves are very deep and his re-
quires much patience. You must hold the
tongs while you count so very slowly.
THE object is TO take all moisture out OF
the hair and make it dry and wavy. If you
try to do il in less time you will not succeed.
II takes a full minute for each wave to dry
and set properly.
Then the new marcel wave must be
combed out. This gives il the appearance
Of carelessness. If the waves are not
conbed out they will not be pretty, for they
will look too deep and too set.
"Curl heavily and deeply and comb out
thoroughly, so as to look careless and wavy.
That is the rule.
Il nave a way of making the hair look
naturally wavy by putting the waves in
after the hair ia done up. | take the tongs
and go over it. waving it irregularly. That
gives a very nice look and makes it more
life like than though ! were to have the
waves lie in the hair with regularity.
Il tell my patrons not to rough the hair.
That is q very bad plan and in time it makes
one bald.
toward the tip of the hair. II the hair
is roughed or ~backcombed, the scales are
disturbed and the hair is destroyed. It is
only a short time before il breaks of.
Il advise my patrons not to do up the
hair at night. The trouble is that it is
always lone up too tightly. Then, when
one lies down, the scalp is relaxed and the
hairs pull.
-In the morni ng there is a soreness of
the scalp and by noon the hairs have Grim
kbd up and in a day or so many fan out,
That is the wav IL works.
IF a woman's hair ia young the woman
herself 70 pretty sure to look young. for
the hair is a terrible giveaway.
in theory gray hair ia beautiful and
the more gray hair the more honorable;
but actually few persons want white
hair. They prefer to keep it its natural
shade, the color il was in youth.
"Gray hair may be becoming, but IL never
makes any one look younger. Put a white
wig on a young woman and she may look
quaint, but she doesn't look young.
There are more brown haired women
than black haired ones, and there are
more black haired women than yellow
haired ones. Red haired girls are scarcest
Of all. and they are the prettiest when
you find them.
But il Is the brown haired woman
that leads of in point Of numbers. The
brown haired girls vary from the pale
sandy colored browns to the deep, smooth,
slick seal brown girls. The mouse oolored
brunettes are most numerous and then
come the mediums.
"For the brown haired girl 10 keep her
hair young is a hard problem for the rea-
son that brown fades quickly. IL begins
to get streaked when one Ii in the early
twenties and by 20 there are white ines
running through IL. Al 10 it is hopeless.
and the brown haired girl looks at her locks
with a sigh.
Hair gets thin earlier than II used TO
and nearly every woman suffers from IL.
The trouble 10 that the average woman
does not know how to take care OF it. IN
she did she would not lose her hair, for
the reason that hair is hard to kill.
