PHILADELPHIA, June 21-R-
Major General Smedley D. Butler,

marine corps after fighting half
way round the world, and spent
much of his later years urging
that the nation keep its fighting

Clarifying Yourself

omre confusing. Her friends who
have had gray hair for years will
tell her that only silly, frivolous,
superficial kind of woman would
think Of dying her hair. Those who
do not have their hair dyed will in
sist that gray locks make one look
older, and they'll offer at least 10
obvious reasons why no woman
wants to look older than she is.
LET AN EXPERT
DYE FOR YOU
Probably the sensible procedure
would be to discuss the problem with
nobody. Either go on and have gray
hair, meanwhile hoping that 1t will
soon be all white instead of a mix
ture of gray and brown or gray and
black, or else have it dyed and say
noticing to anyone.
Whether she makes the latter
choice for reasons that have to do
with her career or because she feels
that gray hairs are synonymous with
heartbreak age or for some other
less serious reason, she ought to
make up her mind to have the jon
properly done by really fine hair
dye expert who uses first quality dye.
Then and there, she might as
well face the fact that it will be nee
essary to go back to the hairdresser
at least once every two weeks. Moth
ing in the world is more unattractive
than dyed hair which obviously
needs re-touching at the roots.
She will have her hair dyed to
match exactly its natural color. In
other words, if it is brown with
touches OF gray, brown dye will be
used-not black, not lighter blonde,
not red or henna.
When the dye expert says that
he prefers not to dye the short fuzz
which frames her face at the hair
line, she won't insist that he do it.
This always is lighter than the rest
of the hair. If he's determined to
achieve natural effect, he prob
ably will want to leave it lighter.
