The Hair Easily Made
 Beautiful and Attractive

Beautiful hair, thick, fluffy, lustrous and absolutely free from dandruH is not so much a gift of nature as a matter of care and proper nourish- ment. Hair is like plant-it will not grow healthy and beautiful unless it has attention and proper nutrinent
 l arisian Sage, a dainti1y perfUmed Iiouid that is easly applied, tones up and invigorates the hair roots and furnishes the necessary rourishment to not only save and beautify the hair. but also stimulate it to grow long, heavy, soft, fluffy and radiant with life.
 When used frequently and well rubbed into the scalp it will simply work wonders. Just one application stops itching head, removes dandrufH and ciesnses the hair Of all dust and ex- cess oil.
 Since Parisian Sage, which can be obtained from Lee & Osgood, or at any drug or toilet counter, never dis- appoints. it is no longer necessary for any woman to be humiliated because of thin, streaky, faded lffeless or url- attractive hair-and pertty hair, more than anything else, helps every woman to retain her charm and youthful ap- pearauce.
