AT THE HAIRDRESSER'S
BY J. s. 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 fnel It 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, It comes
out dreadfully--I must have wonder
fully healthy scalp, or I'm sure I'd be
bald at the rate it comes out, except
for the rapidly Of its growth
"All / want these treatments for is
to make it step 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 particularly good treatment this
time.
My hair oily? No. never. Yes. it
may seem slightly so just now, for
I've been using a tonic that makes It
that way, but you ought to see 1t when
it's just washed It's so fuffy-it
looks as if | had oceans OF it-thats
one consolation. think it's better TO
have fine hair and not have so 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 it? Most people haven't very fine
hair, have they? But then, | suppose
they have other redeeming features.
Il hope this tonic won't make my
hair greasy cant bear that! II II
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, wen see by
the results. OF course, l don. expect
impossibilities from this first treat
ment but it oughtIO tell little about
the final result
"Oh, is that little thing the same
you use for facial massage? l never
had a facial massage-just run IL over
my face, will you, so can know how
1t feels? Oh, isn't that deliciousi
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? I know I worry
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-I
truly don't think It anything to brag
of do you-giving ones life u 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 OF
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-
cause she teaches kindergarten she is
doing something training
the future men and women she calls
it-and she's always studying for it,
and she absolutely hardly ever goes
out with me She's awfully selfish
that Mdf DuA nave ~ III 5AhC AC-
for. of course, when she doesn't go |
have the use of her things-and, work f.
ing as she does, she can have so many
lovely things that I personally could /
hardly afford.
"Oh, aren't you going to run that
thing over my head any more? Why. I
I thought that was the principal part (
of the t-electricity-and l do I
Just love it. it's so nice and soothing /
could go to sleep! Just do 1t while !
longer I'm sure my hair needs it. /
Oh. what II there are other appoint /
ments? Can't they wait a while? l /
had TO! Remember, my whole course I
depends upon this first treatment. so /
you'd best make it thorough.
Now, don't comb it fussy-I detest /
fussily dressed hair. Just neat and .
simple and pretty. Oh. mercy, not .
like that Why. that makes me look /
Just like an old maid l want it coil 4
three of those rolls. but not Just like
shop girls wear them-I waEt some
thing original. No. hate puffs.
they're all out OF style
81 think | won't take the whole
course here, the assistants are too
What's that? No, | do
not expect to have a scalp treatment
and a facial massage and my hair
dressed in the newest fashion, all for
1fty centsi | think l shall find some
one who is not so mercenary. Good
