gave notice that these sealed bids

Hair
Some women's hair is naturally
or wavy, to the envy of then
friends of the sex. Others
have straight hair, which can only
be made to wave or curl by artificial
means. The difference between the
two is easily explained. Straight
hairs are oval in section. A s
hairs kink because they are flat in
nieces. The heat of the curling
tongs when applied to straight hair-
causes each of them to contract on
one side and to curl In that
whence the beautifying effect
obtained, which is necessarily
