You win regret it,! warned the mother
of one such.
"When?"
by the time you're forty you won't have
much hair left to undulate."
by the time I'm forty IL won't make
much difference retorted the young
beauty.
Suzanne Went Secretly.
do you know my friend Suzanne?" ask
ed Jeanette she fetched a new part for
dabbtng ''Once Suzanne went secretly to
Dondel's with a married cousin to have O
| real hair dresser's undulatlon--such as you
see on the heads of the great Paris beau
| ties! They started in on her with "A fine
comb. stiff brush. four hot tongs and a
boy to bring them. Suzanne saw the artist
presently engaged In combing hairs out of
the stiff brush.
Whose hairs are they?" she asked In
alarm.
Don't be frightened, they're yours" an
swered the young mainland went on. pull
ing out some more. OF course he was in q
hurry, being In great demand and all he
cared for was to make a splendid undula-
ton: Suzanne didn't dare say a word.
Szzz! Szzz, The hot iron was sizzling close
to her scalp Ouch! 1t caught her close!
Szzz! She could smell 1t burning. All the
same, when 1t was done, 1t was delicious
undulation!'
And lasted fourteen days with carer

nette During two years after. her hair
came out every morning"
And the great beauties who go to
Raours and Dondel's once or twice
week?" 1 asked.
They must have strong hair: or per-
haps they give tremendous tips to have
the work done very carefully; or perhaps
they have begun and dare not stop? Who
knows how much of it is theirs?'
And you wanted me to sneak you in an
iron!'' / said.
Jeanette shifted vrtuously. 1T was just
to try you. I'll do quite well with my old
ribbonsr'
1t is the invention Of Lentheric. a system
of silk ribbons of the width and thickness
of shoe-laces. They come in a box with
printed directions and two-pronged fork
which has spring.
The hair is separated into trcsses. Each
tress is laced with a ribbon between the
prongs of the forthwith the spring to hold
them while the work Is being done. Then
the fork is pulled out; 1t is but frame to
'organize' the ribbons; but the ribbons re-
main all night. When they are finally re-
| moved, the undulation is accomplished. The
sides of the head wave" beautifully.
False Hair Ethics.
But it don't stay.' mourned Jeanette.
land it lacks the real thing look of the
hot-iron undula t6n. But anything not to
ruin ones hair. Would you believe II.
mamma started me at wearing false haIr?"
Looking at the glory of the chestnut cas-
cade, declared addition superfiuous. Yet
the object lay In evidence-a kinky double
handful of false hair, fastened to a short
and rounded comb by band that projected
bit on either side
1T was when the bouffants in
years ago" said the good girl. Her hair
had dried. Now she began organizing the
couture. Like all Gaul, she divided 1t into
three parts One fell over her eyes, and
one on either side. She reached for the
false-the universal Paris crepe" She
fixed it's little comb somewhere near the
crown of her head. She fastened its bands
with a hairpin on each side. She parted
it into three swelling kinky rolls.
Over the left-hand lot she fetched up her
own hair conlbed very smooth. 1t hid the
kinky falseness-which maintained 1t in
great puff. She fixed 1t with jab of a
yellow tortoise sde-comb and proceeded
with the right side. Then she fetched up
the front "bouffant"
You see," she said, ito make a bouffant
really bouffe with all your own hair. you
must work some OF ii backward with the
comb. to kink it-that 1t may hold up the
smooth puff outside-understand? AT night
to comb II out straight tears and breaks
the hairs
Therefore, the artificial crepe" which
means kink-er. All Partisan femininity Is
using It. except the girls whose hair is
dry light. springy and responsive enough
to puff naturally.
THE shame of false hair all depends upon
the motive" says Jeanette. 1T is only
shameful when you need 1t. Those who
don't need it may use It,"
Which seemed reasonable.
STERLING HELLO.
