% There are several reasons for the
mouth becoming dry when one is talk
ing or reading before an audience.
First. it Is partly due to nervousness
and stage fright" Then, the mouth
being open so much, the glands are eX-
posed to the air, and this quickly dries
up some of the moisture. Nervousness
and fear interfere with the glands dis
charging as much moisture as they
otherwise would. If you will hold your
mouth open little bit, you will notice
how quickly it becomes dry, and people
who sleep with their mouth open find
it absolutely dry when they waken.
People who are accustomed to speak
ing and feel no timidity, generally
have pitcher of water on the stage
when they are making a talk of any
length, as no doubt you have noticed.

you will tie it in the back. having first
curled 1T, and then arrange the short
curls across the back pinning them in
place, that you will find this rather a
nice way to do it. Or. If you cannot make
the pins stay in in this way, weave
your ribbon in and out and arrange the
hair so it can be pinned above and be-
low it. If your hair is too short to do
this nicely, about the only thing you
can do is to have your cut hair made
into National Bob, or curls. To get
rid of the split ends, the best way is
to have it singed carefully
