fades, turns gray or streaked, just ar
application or two Of Sage and Sui.
phur enhances its appearance hun
dredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mix
ture; you can get this famous old re-
cipe improved by the addition, OF
other ingredients for so cents a large
bottle, all ready for use. 1t is called

that nobody can tell it has been ap-
piled. You simply dampen sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through the hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair has disappeared, and after an
other application it becomes beauti-
fully dark and appears glossy and
lustrous. This ready-to-use prepare
