Hair tortured with the hot curling

plain liquid silmcrine, which can do no
harm and which produces a curliness
much prettier and more natural In APP

erty of drying in the most beautiful
waves and creases Imaginable. 1t is
also a fine dressing for the hair. pre-

it delightfully."- soft and glossy. \ few
ounces from the druggist will last for
weeks. so it is not at all expensive.
Liquid silmerine is not sticky or
greasy and 1t won't stain or streak
hair or scalp. 4 convenient way to
use it is to pour II little into Il saucer
and then with a clean tooth brush
apply evenly to the hair from root to

will be quite in evidence in the morn
