For Natural Hair. Too.

ern cOiffure the man who can find a way
to make curls better or easier Is on the
high road TO fame and fortune. A device
for this pun pose is that shown in the IL
lustration, and is the invention of an ILL.,
nois man. 1t consists of q single curling
iron. Which has grooves along It's length
large enough to receive one side of
double wire hook. Of much the same shape
as a safety pin. The hair Is curled around
the cylinder and over one end OF the hook.
and when the curl or puff is made the
hook is fastened at the free end which is
constructed to permit fastening. and the
puff is held togethe- until it can be pinned
in place on the head. The device can also
be used In curling natural ha'r. and the
hook will hold the curl In shape until that
shape is well set. The chief annoyance
in rolling false curls Is experienced in
their coming unrolled before adjusted.
