Natures most alluring and crownins
gift to femininity is an abundant growth
of fine. glossy hair and it should be a
woman's pride to cultivate and preserve
it. 1t is a known fact that some women
have actually acquired reputation Tor

A well defined. daintiiy curved hair line
imparts character and expression to the
countenance. and is the most important
adjunct to the attractiveness of the face
Unfortunately. but few women seem TO
appreciate the exquisite charm of this
feature: they fail to realize to what eX-
tent their youthful appearance depends
upon the preservation of the line where
the hair and face join. forming the grace
full arch about the forehead. the wavy
tracing at the temples. the coy love
locks in front of the ears the sweeping
curve behind the ears to the nape OF
neck where the "scolding locks nestle,
imparting that subtle charm to the fe-
male head which, when once destroyed,
art cannot duplicate.
A break Or thin place in the hair line
denotes lust where d woman is inclined
to badness: this condition adds years to
her appearance. When the hair about
the face becomes Scanty. the line broken
and underlined. it is then that the facial
expression changes. it being so gradual
as not to attract special attention until
one is haunted by the consciousness of
an unpleasant difference in expression,

Women. as d rule. are seldom bald al

traced to the habit of twisting an extra
piece OF hair onto the crown locks, the
strain of which pulls out the hairs and
badness results.
In giving advice regarding the preser-
walton of the hair line the don'ts and dos
are about equal. commencing with
don'ts which, If needed in time, may

Don't grasp the front hair by the
points or ends and comb from points to
roots, "roughing it" in order to make
full rounded pompadour. There is moth
ing more destructive to the hair than
this thoughtess abuse; ii destroys life
and luster fractures the hair shaft, rem

and causes badness at the
temples.
Don't use a comb to pull the hair
forward after the pompadour is arranged.
This is an exceedingly common practice;
hundreds of women do it daily. some
times dozen times a day. pulling out
as many hairs each time. Small wonder
that the hair line disappears.

Don't comb the hairs from forehead

strain comes on the front hairs with
each stroke of the brush. and if they do
not fracture and fall out at once they
become loosened in the follicle, knk up
and drop out later.
Don't use stronge alkalies to make the
color lighter. or shampoo in excess to
make hair fluffy. The frequent shampoo
