that gives the operator all infor-
nation regarding previous dyeing
or bleaching of the hair. The
number, if any, Of permanents you
have had. What method or
methods Of permanent waving were
used? Whether you have done the
aforesaid dyeing or bleaching your
self or whether ii has been done
by an expert or a so-called expert :!
What form Of dye, liquid or
paste, was used? Whether any
scalp irritation or swelling resulted
from the previous dyeing? Whether
headaches or slightly impaired
vision resulted Immediately after
or within a few days after the hair
! had been touched up? Whether
you have your hair marcelled or
round curled frequently?
All the time the operator j. ask

nearer TO your hearts desire. il
the operator is conscientious he
will use every persuasion 10 make
you change your mind and stick to

Time Is as important q factor IN
hair dyeing as 1t is in the giving
Of a successful permanent wave.
Therefore, your conscientious
operator will know exactly how
long a time should elapse between
the application Of the dye and the
subsequent removal Of the excess
dye. After applying the dye the
operator may leave you for a
while, but as the time for removal
approaches he hovers about one

The circulation Of the blood is a wonderful
thing. 1t is constantly circulating through every
part of the body, through the lungs, through the
heart, everywhere. About one-thirteenth Of the
b~odyweight is supplied by the blood. If you
weigh 169 pounds, you possess about 13 pounds
of blood. A boy of rs pounds has 6 pounds, or
about 8 quarts of blood.
The blood contains red and white cells, or
corpuscles. There are about five millions Of red
cells in a cubic millimeter of blood. 1t takes 25
millimeters to make an inch, so you can imagine
that a cube, 1 millimeter to each side, represents
a pretty small space. In one single drop are
$50 million red cells.
The redness in the cells comes from the 'hem-
oglobin," or coloring matter in them. These
