There are two things OF which the
Cinnamon are particularly fond.
These are birds and goldfish And
among the merchants OF Flower

OF the goldfish merchants parade
the street with the bowls OF goldfish

they carry across their shoulders.
Despite the crowded street and the

listen to the patter Of the rain, the whisper Of the wind,
the rustic Of the trees, the song of the birds and the music
of the song that sounds in your own heart. 1t is all of these Won
derful songs that blend their magic voices into a symphony of
Spring. Is il any wonder then, Spring means all that the heart
holds dear, that its sunlight must penetrate into the deepest re-
ceSses Of a world weary heart bringing light and hope and cheer?
Since the first tree budded into glossy leaf and fragrant
blossom, man has sung Of the glories of Spring Since, the first
flowers shone like stars in the fresh greensward, all the world
has listened to the call of Spring and love. 1t is a call that brings
with it a magic note to which this gray old world Of ours listens
and becomes for a moment young once more. II is of course 10
youth that Spring unfolds her alchemy. The call Of love is the
chorus Of her siren song. The call of love that rings through
the world and echoes in the heart of youth. The Springtime Of
life that viii yield the golden memories that glorfy old age. The
ardor of youth that sweeps away obstacles as dark clouds scatter
before the golden sun. The call of youth to its mate, to the ONE
heart that will respond to the glory of love. All this Is Spring.
And best Of all, Spring can be always with YOU II you
will keep your heart filled with love, with tenderness, and afec-
ton, then the eternal song Of Spring will never cease to sing
for you.

Before telling you about the new winding
let me review for YOU the old ones so that you
can make the necessary comparisons yourself,
thus determining just which one you want to try.
So much depends upon how you intend to
care for your hair after the permanent has been
given. If you plan on dropping into the beauty
shop each week or ten days 70 have a finger-wave
set, you probably will prefer the "flat" or the
tight" winding.
Both of these windings require that the hair
be set in the beauty shop, if the full beauty of
winding the curling rods are placed near the
scalp and the hair is wound flat around the
curriers' TO the ends. When set this wave gives
the appearance of a marcel.
