Famous Movie Star Condemns Curling Iron “little Mary’’ Piekford, whose pretty curly locks have been so much admired, writes that she has never used the curling Iron. She fails to see the wisdom of burriin" the life out of the hair. That the heated iron is ruinous to the hair is being more and more appreciated. Many are discarding this instrument of t'TTure :n favor of plain liquid silmerine. This is not only harmless hut really beneficial. Instead of giving one’s tresses a burnt-out. lifeless appearance, it gives them a brisln lustre, and the curliness looks altogether natural. It is a simple tiling to procure a few ounces of liquid silmerine from the druggist and apply a little with a brush before doing up the hair. The beautiful wavy effect which results is agreeably surprising.— Advertisement.
