 To laugh and look hsppy helps one to be harpy. Then take of your frown and throw away your grcuch.
 This is one of the good tf1inEz sAout going out It conpeis Us for a tiae Al i least. to give our decent traits the rs<ht of way.

 Here is a good solution, and one that was used With perfect satisfaction: Take the white of an egg mixed with an eoual amount of rose water and few drops of fragrant perfume. Then the hair should be slightly shampooed with the. mixture before wrapping around or doing your hair up in cnrls.

 If however. the watch is wound I'D IA,yt the morning. having partly run down through the night, there is room enough left in the barrel to contract.
