A FRIEND once told Mrs.
D. H. j. Of Chicago, Ill,
hair-cutting made the hair
thicker. A hairdresSer ex-
planned that we are born with
Just so many hair roots; and
that frequent cutting would
not thicken the crop Of hair.
MY six-year-old daughter
has a thick head Of hair
because it has been cut at
least once a year." she writes.
"but my 2-year-old daughter
has long, thin hair and not
much Of it. The little girl
won't look so good with a
short haircut. but I would
have it cut If I knew for
certain that cutting would
thicken her hair"
THEY USED TO SAY in
the old-time dramas Don't
you dare touch one hair on
this child's head!" Hair cut
ting will not affect the thick
ness Of the hair crop. Leave
it all to nature. Don't deprive
yourself of the joy of seeing
your cute little daughter
wave her pony tail around as
she busies herself about the
house.

THE COUNCILS VIEW
Leon has made Sandra feel
woefully inadequate on the
mental side and she appears
to be trying to compensate
by strengthening herself in
one area she is more sure
about-her physical beauty.
Leon should recognize that
If his own ego were not at
stake he would not be en-
barrassed by the things San
dra says in public. True love
for her could make him feel
sorry that her horizons are
so limited, but he would try
to help her broaden them
without hurting her feelings
or making. her feel made
quate. The approach he has
been using seems geared to
get her to learn words that
are as becoming as the
clothes she wears. This would
make a talking paper doll Of
her.
Sandra is wrong to blame
her husband for her made
quacies. She wanted his adj
miration and the home,
security and children.
1t is not too late for Sam
dra to start expanding her
horizons. She should do it
simply because there is a big
interesting world around her
to explore.
