may be applied with a good result as
far as the coloring goes, and this is
made by macerating the leaves in hot
water The hair should be clean, well
rinsed and very dry, otherwise the

found in an intelligent course in
sweeping, busting, bed-mazing and

The muscle movements caused by the
various motions so carefully taught IN
physical culture courses are identical
with the muscle movements called forth
