Daughters of Famous Men

Miss Cecilia Beaux, who has been called

born in Philadelphia. Hers is a mixed an
cestry. From her father, John Adolphe
Beaux. she inherited a Gallo strain, which
may account for her dominating artistic
temperament, while through her mother
she Is allied 20 the famous old English
family OF the Leavitts.
Miss Beaux was a pupil OF William SRr-
tain, afterward studying at the Julien and
the LRzar schools in Paris. In 1908 the
University of Pennsylvania conferred on
her the degree OF doctor OF laws, and she
has been the recipient Of many honors and

Hair that is Gray in Patches
an Impossible Task for the Amateur

One OF the impossible feats for a woman
to accomplish lie 10 color patches of her
hair SO all will be the same shade. ] choose
this subject because recently 1 have re-
ceived an unusual number OF such requests
from correspondents, and 1 want them TO
understand why discourage them in any
such attempt
Every woman who has such a desire
must understand that only a skilled pro-
fessional can color patches successfully,
because the effect OF dyes differs, accord
ing to the shade and quality of the hair to
which It Is applied. The hair itself must
be seen and carefully studied by one at
tempting to match faded or gray spots.
A woman wishing TO match a shaded dress
material would not send a few threads Of
wanted. She would send enough of a
sample to enable the clerk to get the whole
effect.
But matching hair Is even more difficult;
that is matching the color when streaks
have faded, because quality so largely
enters in. 1t would be useless for a woman
to send a lock OF her hair, declaring at
the same time that she wanted TO make
the gray the natural color, because no two
patches Of gray are precisely the same.
And even IL they were, and proper dye
we're made. no amateur could apply it with
sufficient care TO make the colored por-
ton look other than what II is--a patch

that am violently. opposed to dyeing hair,
because the coloring matter, however
harmless, eventually Injuries the locks, be-
cause of the treatment TO which the scalp
and hair must be subjected in order that
the coloring will stay on.
Before applying dye the natural Oil must
be extracted by washing the hair in strong
soda or ammonia water. and the result of
such q shampoo is 10 starve the hair fol-
ncles and when this condition occurs the
locks break and fall. It is an unwise
woman who applies dye to her hair. and

event, good, thorough brushing daily, mas

vent the condition from becoming worse

A tonic that may be life giving at such a
