His Sweetheart In the Spring a Young Man's Fancy Lightly Turns to Thoughts of Love. I To him she is always the same—the dearest, the sweetest, the prettiest girl in the world. In his heart she reigns supreme—his ideal of all that Is beat in womanhood. His eyes reveal her to him as the possessor of a fascination and attractive ness of which nothing can deprive her. She may not wear elaborate and expe jpl jjTfit > sive dresses, she may not even have a pretty face, according to worldly stand- A. J ards. Her chlefest claim to beauty may even lie In a mass of glittering, ~ fluffy, natural hair, growing on her own head. But certainly no hair can be "■ " ri< charming or even attractive if it is not properly dressed and intelligently Impr/T i cared for. There is a subtle charm about beautiful hair that lends more to W (ir'n personal adornment than the combined skill of the beauty doctor and To the girl or woman desiring always to be at her best and to make the most of Nature's richest gift, we recommend -ui.....
