Beauty Counsel
WHEN the "U" hairstyles were

W7HEN the 'U" hairstyles were
W first introduced there was
a lot said about the beauty busi-
ness coming back to salons
where it belongs. We heard
them deplore the fact that girls
were learning to do a kind Of
amateur wave at home-not
only shocking to behold, but
a thing that lessened the beauty
shop revenue. Well change all
that and introduce something
that no one but a professional
can do, they said, and behold
the intricately puffed and
curled up"
1t was not altogether due to
their decision. Fashion too, Of
fered the gowns and hats that
called for the more sedate coif-
fure, but we believe more than
any other factor in this change
was the boredom of doing the
unconventional long bob effects.
Well. anyway, hair is up and
you would be surprised to see
how quickly the smart little
home and business girls learned
how to do it. No trick at all,
when you get on to it, they say.
They comb it out well. then
dip the comb in wave lotion
so it barely dampens it next

separate the front from the
back, then there are various de-
signs for the top, sides and back.

had the same Wedgewood treat

bright red, and were they ef-

Personal opinion will have to
guide the buyer of cards.
Whether to be dignified and
formal, conventional and brief,
or to let down the bars and
go in for a little levity is often
the burning question.
A Christmas card designed

Something Is Wrong
When Tooth Aches

When a tooth aches, that is q
sign that something has gone
wrong. Usually it means that
decay has eaten away the pro-
lection the nerve must have; in
any event the sufferer should
see his dentist without delay.
People often think Of the
tooth as something directly con-
nected with the bone of the Jaw.
That isn't the case, for the
tooth is held into place in the
jaw by a layer of tissue which
also acts as a cushion.
Mothers shouldn't worry II
when their child is five years
of age spaces begin to appear
between the teeth. This is Just
a sign that the jaw is growing.
In fact if the spaces weren't
there, then there would be cause
for worry. For If the spaces
aren't wide enough, there will
be crowding when the perma-
nent teeth appear

body. They close their eyes to
the fact that if a child loses its
teeth before its permanent ones
are ready to come through, it
may change the whole shape Of
the little ones face.
The teeth of themselves are
very interesting organs, If we
may so refer to them. Above
the gum, the part you can see
is called the crown; buried in
the jawbone are the roots;
where the root and crown Join
at the gum line is the neck.

Enamel Covers
Teeth to Protect

The crown of the tooth is GOV.
cred with a substance called
enamel. It Is not actually a
bone, but it Is harder than any
bone in the body and protects
the rest Of the tooth from in
jury and decay. Underneath the
enamel is the dentine, softer
bone. Decay spreads rapidly
in this dentine. But decay can.
not get in SO long as the enamel
is kept clean, and whole. The
trouble comes when decay eats
a hole in this enamel, or when
some injury makes a crack in it.
At the end Of each root Of
the tooth is a small opening
containing blood vessels and
nerve cells. The blood vessels
and nerves are protected by the
pulp of the tooth and it is
through them that the tooth
receives its nourishment; lime,
phosphorus which enables the
tooth to resist decay.
