Always try to obey the rule;

And always lend her my new slate.

But never call each other anne
We have recess but once q day,
Except for this we must not play;
And when we get into a class
We must always try to pass.

no doubt make him declare himself, one

The majority of women, when they
shampoo their hair, make the mistake
OF piling 1t up immediately in a close
Knot. This is WRONG. The hair should
be given a chance4 to rest, and the scalp
should be ventilated by pinning the ends
up loosely or allowing the hair to hang
loose. Y
When this ks done you should sit
where the sun1 will shine full upon your
mead for epHhour or more, dividing the
