SPIT CURL is OLD ORNAMENT
Was Popular With Bellies Of Centuries
Aqo-May Be Traced to Ancient
Statue.

The curl over the forehead, as
worn by young ladies Of today, has
along literary history, having been
mentioned before the time Of
Shakespeare, and probably has exist
ed for many centuries A very
ancient statue depicts Opportunity
as having bald head, save for one
lock of hair in the center of the
forehead. This was to show there
was only one chance to take adj
vantage Of an opportunity. Doubt
less the bellies of that day, taking
the lesson taught by the marble to
heart, began to wear a similar lock.
The practice has continued to the
present day.
The curls are made to adhere to
the forehead by the application Of
any one of the many modern sub
stances made expressly for that pur-
pose. These cnrls are called by the
commonalty "spit curls," but this is
misnomer and misleading.
