BREAKING IT GENTLY

s'when I went Into that shop," said the girl who likes to talk, T was not so terribly, dissatisfied with myself. Though having no idea that was ever Eoing to be mobbed for my beauty, I may confess to an egUtisttc confidence in secluded corner of my heart that I was rather good to look upon. Still, felt that 1t would do

Irene. on whom II had been calling, was so euthusias- 1 tic over the little shop near her that I dropped in before started for home. A majestic lady with an awe inspir- I ing coiffure and firm, plying eye l took charge of me.
 '.As she removed my hairpins she said that her special shampoo mixture was the best thing on earth for dry hair like mine. It was so certain to split if not cared for properly and then
 1t broke off and left a person quite baldheaded. but with proper care l need have no fear of that happening

 though she really hated to say any
 thing. Then her emotions overcam
 her and burst forth. It was too bad e she sighed, that my skin was s @ rough. wasn't it? Oh. yes, quite rougl s II probably hadn't noticed. So man, e young women neglected themselves Il
