"BEAUTY AFTER 40"
To Dye or Not to Dye Is Hair Question for Beauty
Seeker of 40


| don't think there is anything in
woman's life more tragic than
when she discovers she is growing
gray.
silver threads among the gold
may be poetical, but silver threads
among brown tresses that have been
the pride OF ones youth always
seem the first budapest TO the
wilderness of dead hopes.
It's all very well for your friends
TO say that nature knows her bust
ness, that when the hair turns white
the complexion also changes color
that 1t Is more becoming. and that
1t does not make you look any older
You and your friends both know
that they are only trying to comfort
you. White hair, whether 1t is be
coming or not, always suggests age
And while 1t Is changing! While
IL is all shades and patches and
looks more like stick OF striped
taffy candy than anything else! l.
for one, do not blame any woman
for calling in the aid of her hair
dresser.
Take heart, my-dear-woman-of.4O
years. there is nothing immoral In
dyeing your hair, 1t Ia only a ques
ton OF taste--YOuR OWN md
VIDuAL TASTE.
II you feel that you would be hap
pier. or II. being a business woman
YOU feel sure that white hair will
hurt your chances OF reaching the
goal for which you are aiming, color
your hair by all means
Some OF your relatives and near
friends--who feel privileged TO say
any unpleasant thing they think to
you-will probably tell you you
don't fool anyone but yourself"
They are not right, of course. for
you will probably fool the casual &C
