AT THE -HAIRDRESSER'S
BY J. 8. PEBBLES.


''No, my hair isn't really thin, as hair
goes" agreed the girl as she settled
herself in the hairdresser's chair and
helped tuck the white bib around her
neck But it's so fine! 1t grows won
derfully for curly hair-you know,
they say curly hair is never long-but
mine really is surprisingly long, II only
it would stay in! You see, 1t comes
out dreadfully-I must have a wonder
fully healthy scalp, or I'm sure I'd be
bald at the rate 1t comes out, except
for the rapidity of its growth!
"All l want these treatments for Is
to make it stop falling out! Do you
think they'll do the work? want to
try one or two first. and If they seem
to do me good, then I'll take the whole
course. So you see, you'd better give
me a particularly good treatment this
time.
"My hair oily? No, never! Yes, 1t
may seem slightly 30 just now, for
I've been using a tonic that makes 1t
that way, but you ought to see 1t when
it's Just washed! It's SO fuffy-it
looks as II had oceans of it-that's
have fine hair and not have 80 much.
but have it fluffy, than have coarse,
straight hair that never looks decent,
don't you? Oh. yours is straight. isn't
it? But then yours isn't very coarse,
is 1t? Most people haven't very fine
hair, have they? But then, l suppose
they have other redeeming features.
II hope this tonic won't make my
hair greasy can't bear that! II it
does I'll never come again! Don't you
think you ought to rub it until it's dry?
I've heard that artificial dryers aren't
good for the hair. Well, we'll see by
the results OF course, I don't expect
impossibilities from this first treat
ment but 1t ought to tell a little about
the final result.
"Oh, Is that little thing the same
you use for facial massage? l never
had facial massage-just run 1t over
my face, will you, SO can know how
it feels? Oh, isn't that delicious!
Just run it across my forehead few
times, will you? You know, I'm get
! ting wrinkles in my forehead! Did
you ever hear of such thing in per-
son of my age? l know worry a
great deal, but that comes of having
such a conscientious disposition! I'm
always assuming responsibilities that
are really too heavy for my years! OF
course, you know I'm not bragging-l
truly don't think it's anything to brag
Of do you-giving ones life to others
| and using up ones vitality on little
things, when one should, suppose,
keep all ones energies for ones own
affairs!
''But, then, there are always some
who have to assume the burdens oil
those who are selfish and who think
that they are to be kept for some big
work, without worry! My sister is
that way-she imagines that just be
