Those CurIs-Curls and how to get
them would be such a profitable sub
ject for discussion. one wonders why
ii isn't assigned some time by the pro-
gram committee of the club Not, Of
course. instead of The Psychology OF
the Ring and the Book" or The Real
ism of Thomas Hardy" but merely for
a change. and as a means OF affording
a profitable matter for discussion and
one in which all the members would
be vitality interested
There's a good deal to be said on
the subject, too. In the first place,
to go back to the beginning. it must
surely be admitted that 1t is the duty
of every woman to be as good look
ing as possible. and that she may cul-
tivate her good looks reasonably and
intelligently without laying herself
open to the charge of vanity Then
there's the subject OF the relation OF
the hair to good looks. This can not
be overestimated, and it's safe to say
that it's worth very definite effort
to have ones hair well arranged.
But at this point there arises the
difficulty of producing curls where
there are no curls and waves where
waves are not This is a real prob
lem. because in the first place It's a
hard matter to make the hair look
well without them. and in the second
place most of the methods of pro-
ducing them are unsatisfactory and
harmful
Constant curling with a hot iron
not only tends to break and burn the
hair. but the heat of the iron is likely
to kin the downy growth Of new hair
- a
curler is not only hideous to look at
degree of comfort. The Marcel wave
is expensive and so impractical for
most people.
There are however. one or two ways
which are neither harmful nor nncom-
Portable and which it's worth while to
try
To wave the pompadour. separate the
hair about the face into about five
strands. Dampen each strand. and lay
1t in a series of small letter SIS. pinning
each curve with a short prinkled wire
hairpin. The result isn't a really grace
full coiffure. but not half as objection
able in appearance as curl papers and
not at all uncomfortable. When the
hair is brushed out in the morning IT
has the appearance of natural waves
Another plan is somewhat similar
though does not require that the hair
be separated into strands. Arrange the
hair, on top of the head in a loose
knot, allowing it to puff out good deal
all around. Brush IT with a dampened
brush and insert number Of narrow
long side combs all around the head ir
such a way as to make two or three
small pufrs running all around the
head.

In another moment we were in

He led the way to the bar and then
through a back room or two, until
with turn we were in a blind alley
After a pause to observe the street
before we ventured forth, Henry
said:
Il guess we're all right now. We
must chance 1t, anyhow" So we
lodged along in the shadow till we
came to Montgomery Street, and after
a brief walk, turned into a gloomy
doorway and mounted a worn pair OF
stairs.

dirty stair.

I stood in the door, revolver in

listened TO his footsteps az they de-

away into the murmur of life that
came up from the open street.
