A BALD-HEADED WOMAN
Shorn of Her Crown of Beauty Loses
in Love and Marriage.

Shorn of Her Crown of Beauty Loses
in Love and Marriage.
Hair is certainly most necessary
to woman. Who would love and mar
ry a bald-headed woman? What
charms could one array to offset such
Disagreement?
A woman's goal is usually love
and marriage. Her browning glory is
her hair. The loss of her hair mars
her beauty, happiness and success.
Yet, right here in WaXahachie, there
are thousands of women who are neg
lecting or injuring their hair to such
an extent that it is only matter of
time when it Will be utterly ruined.
Many women destroy the beauty
of their hair through thoughtless-
ness or ignorance of certain facts.
They use curling irons over-heated,
or to excess, which destroys the nat
ural oil of the hair, causing it to
split, break and come out They do
not shampoo their hair often cough,
or too often. They use soap or prep
arations which contain ingredients
positively harmful to the scalp and
hair
AS result of such treatment,
dandruff is created. the hair loosens,
