HOW TO JUDGE A WOMAN
BY HER HAIR

There is real common sense in Just
noticing whether the hair is well kept
to Judge of a woman's neatness, or
good taste. If you are one of the few
who try to make the most of your
hair, remember it 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
bel by getting some canthrox from
your druggist, dissolve a teaspoonful
in a cup OF hot water This makes
"A full cup of shampoo liquid, enough
so it is easy to apply it to all the hair
instead of just the top of the head.

Referring to the debut of CALI
Curci, the brilliant coloratura soprano

follows:

been heard in the six years in which

other reviewers record IAN astound-
inG exhibition of cnthuNaSm: "a
tumult that would ordinarily seem
unscemly;" applause that exploded
as If the aria were a timc-fuse and
the audience a mine"
The genuineness Of this sensation is
emphasized by the fact that no one
knew anything about the new prima

from the blue. and, indeed, had been
Engaged for only two performances.
Before the first was finished, the willy
Mr. Campanini had secured her serv-
