Red hair denotes character The
woman who possesses it has a will; she
has intelligence, she is not dead to all
emotions
She may be mistress of hatred. but
she is also a mistress Of love No
woman loves more unselhshIy. more
devotedly, than the woman whose hair
is red
1t is an unusual color, and color to
be glad about and proud of. 1t is
color that usually means an abundance
All redhaired women have a great deal
of hair. No red haired woman stands
accused of wearing switches ana rats"
She who has red hair has reason to
rejoice. instead of to complain If her
lover doesn't know all this then he is
not the sort of lover worth having.
And in this connection let me say to
all girls: The man whose attentions
are not attracted unless one has hair
that is false, or dyed or bleached, is so
weakened in intellect that everv mo-
ment spent In his company is a crini-
nal waste of time.
He is not worth while No man is
worth While who prefers the imitation
to the real; who encourages the gro
tesque and unnatural, who prefers
deceit to truth.
My dear girls. with hair and without
it. of hair of gold or black or red: Put
| high value on yourselves!
Don't so overestimate the worth Of
the love you seek that you under
estimate your own attractions and your
own value. If the man you love
doesn't love the color Of your hair
have none Of him
Look at him through the clear eyes
of Good Sense. and you will observe
that this connoisseur of hair perhaps
has very little of his own, and the
little he has is coarse and of an ugly
color
He is not a paragon OF physical per-
lection. Don't accept with bowed head
his demand that you be one.

this exercise until some relief is felt.
Sometimes a headache Will be caused
by congestion at the base Of the brain,
As matter of fact all headaches are
caused by congestion of some kind.
This particular kind of headache, the
one which is accompanied by a tight,
strained feeling at the back of the
neck can be helped by working ethe
neck with the hands. of course, if YOU
can get some one else to do this for
you. SO much the better If not. place
the hands on the neck as illustrated in

Another way to overcome a head
ache is to exercise the feet. Slip off
your shoes if you possibly can, even
while sitting a your desk or type
writer, stretch the muscles of the legs,
fiex the muscles of toes and ankles.
Drawing the toes in. turning the an
kles all this helps to equalize the cir
.ulation and will cure d headache that
is accompanied by cold feet and hands.
No matter what you do, don't neglect
a headache. 1t comes as a warning
that YOU have been neglecting some or
gan or OVERRIDING it in some way.
Don't eat when your head aches but
drink plenty OF pure water with little
lemon juice if you like unless the pain
is caused by lack Of food but mostly
it's the other way about

If she has watched others play with

their hopes and reputation for wisdom

Occasionally she may have seen a
girl so make herself over in character
and looks that she carries off that for
which she played, but no joy went with
her.
No woman can win man with de-

If a man is so weak minded he can
be won by a false curl, that which
