How 10 Judge a
Woman by Her Hair

There are always the well-known

saying brunettes are quick-tempered.
But there is real common sense in
just noticing whether the hair is well
kept to judge a woman's neatness. II
you are one Of the few who try to
make the most Of your hair, remem-
ber that 1t is not advisable to wash
the hair with any cleanser made for
all purposes, but always use some
good preparation made expressly for
shampooing. You can enjoy the very
best by getting some canthrox from
your druggist and dissolving q tea

your shampoo Is ready. After It's use
the hair dries rapidly with uniform
