How to Train
StrQgglY Hdirs

Each day brush those harsh strag-
gly hairs upward by letting your
head hang down and brush toward
the crown of your head. If you are
not going to business, knot it high
in roll, pin up the ends, and tie
bandanna around it. That holds it
in place.
Each night before going to bed
apply a scalp pomade or good
hair tonic along the hairline Gently
massage it. The rich lubricant will
not only feed the starving tissue
but the rubbing will stimulate
growth.
Don't have your hair cut again
just let it grow. Later on you may
have it shaped, once you determine
which high style you will wear.
Or you may just twist your long hair
into becoming puffs on top of your
head Many girls are letting their
hair grow long.
AS your hairline grows. attempt to
keep it curled for gala nights with
very small curriers'. the iron, or by
twisting it on hairpins. We will all
have to 60 through the growing
pains unless we have been wise
enough to keep our hairline un-
clipped. During the heart breaking
stage you might pin false curls over
the ragged ends.

Cologne Is Feminine Necessity


Cologne is an extremely refresh
ing body rub and is also a luxurious
body deodorant You will find that
an after-bath rundown of cologne
before going to bed will leave love-

in the morning. This makes for the
kind of daintiness that lovely wom-

seems to be a part of their per-
sonaHty, exuding from them as they
move and breathe.
A good brand of cologne, one with
a distinctive personality, in its fra
GRANGE, should be used. 1t should
hint at ightheartedness glitter and

Cologne, by the way, makes
splendid gift, and for this purpose

About the Manx Cats

The Manx is the only breed hav-
ing no tail. OF course there are
lots of stories-legends-which try
to explain why they have no tails.
One ancient tale is that a pair of
cats were last to enter Noah'S Ark,
and that the skipper slammed the
door of the boat shut on their tails.
Later, the pair were left on the
Isle of Man, according to the story.
biologists say, however, that Manx
cats have no tails because of Sc
lective breeding.
