And did the cross young wo-

fork? She did not. She said,
"Yes, I've found them" and
raised her eyebrows at her pal
and intimate and they both gave
an ironic grin as much as to
say, "She needn't think we're
going to wait on her."
And what did the elderly lady
do? Did she struggle out Of her
chair and get herself a fork?
Not she. She spied a sweet
little blonde girl, sort of ambu-
lating around and she called her
over and said:
"My dear, you look so sweet
tempered, viii you help an old
woman by handing her a fork?"
And the pretty little blonde
handed the fork and she handed
the hot biscuit. the mayonnaise

hand, and everybody laughed

IN QcI why the NllcsfI rinse,
which apparently went out OF
fashion with mutton leg sleeves and
pompadours. has suddenly come into
prominence in most OF the reliable
beauty shops.
About a year ago many OF the
beauty salons began exploiting the
vinegar rinse. At the time. all my
efforts to find out the cause OF this
sudden change brought forth an Off
hand explanation that might mean
anything, so that finally I began to
believe that II was Just a change OF
rinses for variety. since the ladies'
get tired Of using the same old
remedies over and over again. But
NOW I know differently.
The real reason for sponsoring and
pushing the vinegar rinse L. that II
causes less complication in the CIV
ing OF permanent waves. II seems
that chemical actions in some Of the
other rinses partly destroy the eff
cheney OF the preparation used on the
hair when a permanent wave Is
given. This chemical reaction In
such that IL has often been necessary
