A great many women reluse have a permanent wave. because they fear its effects in this hair, but if you take the right care of your tresses, as I have explained, and go to a hairdresser who understands uta o her business, there will be Did you ever realize what a great nothing to regret except that you cleansing agent a' good brush was i did not have it done sooner! to combat the grime of modern: civilization Brush it through your hair some half dozen times and then rub it on a leap, white towel and see what happens to that lean, white towel and you will know what I mean!

This is an old controversy, and
as it is impossible to take a census of feminine feelings, it is likely to remain unproved. But I believé that a great many women expect their husbands to be a cross between these, two types of ment, with the virtues of both and the faults of neither, and in this they demand the impossible because you can't have it both ways in this world. especially where marriage is con- cerned.
