Curling Hair This Way

That dull. dead appearance OF the hair
no longer troubles the woman who has
adopted the silmerine method OF keep
ing her tresses in curl. The result Is
verv> different from that produced by
the drying, deTitalizing waving iron.
The hair appears more naturally wavy
and curly, and the application Is really
beneficial to the life and grGSyth OF the
hair.
Any druggist can OF course supply the
buuid silmerlne and one need not get
more than a few ounces, A small guam
tity should be put on before retiring,

brush. drawing this down the full length
Of the hair from root to tip. The ef-

pleasant accompaniment. The hair is
quite manageable. no matter how it is

a game sport"
But wherever he went the dog-Dick.
the gambler called him-wAs at his
heels. and one day they found the
Rambler dead at the foot of the stalrs
that led to his forsaken room. and there
were stories in the paper about the
gamblers death, and 1t turned out that
he was the black sheep of a good fam
lily. and that he had once been rich and
prosperous and honest and well beloved.
But none Of those who knew him in his
better days stood by him. and he was
buried in the Potter's Field, and there
was not one friend to mourn him at his
funeral.
Only a check came from somewhere
to pay the funeral expenses. They said
that the check was from a woman the
gambler had cruelty wronged and cruel
" forgotten. And the dog went to the
funeral.
AS ne stretched himself out on the
gamblers grave, and some reporter,
with an eye for the picturesque, wrote
the story or the dogs vigil on the
lonely grave. and the people went out to
the paupers' puryiHg ground and tried
to coax the dog away
But the dog growled when any one
came near. and he would not eat and
ne would not drink, and he lay there
upon that grave and starved to death,
and he was an Irish terrier. and since
