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

herself in the hairdressers chair and
helped tuck the white bib around her
neck. But it's 30 fine! 1t grows won
derfully for curly hair-you know,
they say curly hair is never long-but
mine really Is surprisingly long, If only
it would stay in! You see. it 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 rapidly of its growth!
"All I want these treatments for is
to make it stop falling out! Do you
think they'll do the work? I 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, it
may seem slightly SO just now, for
I've been using tonic that makes it
that way. but you ought to see 1t when
it's Just washed! It's SO fufy-it
looks as II l had oceans of it-thats
one consolation. think it's better to
have fine hair and not have SO much,
but have 1t 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.
II hope this tonic won't make my
hair greasy can't bear that! If it
does I'll never come again! Don't you
think you ought to rub 1t until it's dry?
I've heard that artificial dryers aren't
good for the hair. Well, well see by
the results. OF course, / don't expect
impossibilities from this first treat
ment but 1t ought to tell a little about
the final result.
ooh, il that little thing the same
you use for facial massage? l never
had q facial massage-just run it over
my face. will you. SO can know how
1t feels? Oh, isn't that delicious!
Just run 1t 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 l worry a
great deal. but that comes of having
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. l suppose,
keep all ones energies for ones own

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 Ii
that way-she imagines that Just be-
cause she teaches kindergarten she Is
doing something important-'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 have to forgive her.
for, of course, when she doesn't go I
have the use of her things-and, work
ing as she does, she can have SO many
lovely things that l personally could
hardly afford.
"Oh, aren't you going to run that
thing over my head any more? Why,
I thought that was the principal part
of the t-electricity-and do

depends upon this first treatment, SO
you'd best make 1t 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
ed and brought low in the back, in
three of those rolls, but not just like
shop girls wear them-I want some
thing original. No. hate puffs,
they're all out of style,

not expect to have a scalp treatment
and facial massage and my hair
dressed in the newest fashion, all for
fifty cents, l think shall find some
one who is not SO mercenary. Good
morning."
