Must Have Operation

to Get Hair Permed

Faced with the choice of undergoing an operation on her head

or going without a permanent wave, Mrs. May Southgate, of Vernon-street, Ipswich, chose the operation.

For years Mrs. Southgate, who is twenty-four wanted a per- manent wave. The opportunity to have one came the other day when she wanted to celebrate getting a new job,

She burried to the hairdressers, only to be told she could not have one. This is why.

Two years ago, in a shooting accident, she was peppered with shot, and four of the pellets are still in her head.

Her hairdresser will not take the risk of Mrs. Southgate being injured by the effect when electricity Is used.
