Gray Hair

1Idy IldlI
 Sometime ago I saw in your columns a letter from woman who said that all though she was only in middle age, her hair was turning gray, and that this was a serious handicap in earning her lveli- hood as whenever she applied for a posi- ton, when her hair was noticed, she failed to get it. She says 1t is imperative that she earn her living therefore she turned tu the Corner for help in her extremity Alter while l read another letter from another woman, who said she had been watching for an answer to the f1rst letter, as her hair, too, was turning gray. But thus far I have seen no other replies l have been hoping that some one who had experience in the matter would reply, and have TOW decided that I will do by best to help them. My own hair is turning gray, but have never had it dyed. How ever if my earning a living depenced upon 1t. l feel certain that I should con sult some really trustworthy hairdresser as to whether or not the hair will turn gray at the roots every once in a while, leaving the dyed hair dark. That is l have heard it said by laymen that as the hair grows it leaves the part next to the roots gray, which is noticeable. Whether this is really so or not, I do not know.
 Gray hair Is truly beautiful, if abun- dant and well cared for and the face be- meath 1t we'll cared for and apparently in good health. Arrange tho hair becom- ingly about the face making it look abun- dant. If necessary, by combing the en- tire hair toward the front and holding it in front by circular comb, or one about half that length (that is. while the hair is still hanging straight forward over the eyes fasten 1t there with the circular comb. Next fasten a switch on the back of the head for the coil. or whatever you wish there; next fluff the hair which Is to surround the face by fluffing 1t up with the comb which you use for combing the hair. Now turn the back hair over the circular comb, fastening tho ends. Then arrange the hair before the face in a becoming manner by holding it with or dinary sidecombs, as near the front of the head as may look we'll Experience in this will accomplish wonders. Of course, I do not know but that every one knows of this way of arranging the hair. but if 1t helps any woman to work a transformation with a little practice, shall be thankful. Every woman knows, or ought to, that the arrangement of the hair makes the greatest difference in the world in her appearance. I have seen in the department stores small pieces smi- lar to switch and which I am told are intended to fill in the front hair where it is thin, or placed anywhere on the head to fill out thin part the hxn T.
