to do me good, then I'll take the whole

me particularly good treatment this
time.

one consolation. I 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, l suppose
they have other redeeming features.

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

the final result.

great deal, but that comes of having
such conscientious disposition! I'm
always assuming responsibilities that
are really too heavy for my years! OF
course, you know I'm not bragging-1
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, I 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 chat 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 way. But I have to forgive her,
for, of course, when she doesn't go

ing as she does, she can have so many
lovely things that personally could
hardly afford.

depends upon this first treatment, so
you'd best make it thorough.
