Points in Minor Things.

The girls have grown very sanitive in these days of progressive culture. Things that the world of women used to do freely are now pronounced very nasty. When a woman shampoos her head, instead of putting up her hair in a semidamp condition, she allows it to become dry and fluffy, letting it hang loosely about the head for hours; no hasty drying in front of a grate is good enough for her. A few women have even gone to the length of buying gas stoves, with heating apparatus attached in a flat sheet of metal, upon which they can spread out their Jocks.to dry Mid invigorate. And so if she has a cut, a bit of rag will not do for it as of yore; there must ’be a bit of absorbent cotton to bind upon the wound. This absorbent cotton is obtainable at all dispensaries and drug stores. It is cheap, light, antiseptic, non-heating, and a little of it goes a great way.
