HOW TO GROW BALD GRACEFULLY. By WALTER A, DYER. OONER or later it must come to each and every one of us —the baldness, It does no goodto re- bel. If we only real- ized how ridiculous we look when we rush madly to mi ¢ and shampoo artist to ward off the inevitable evil day! Or, worse yet, when we apply ink or shoe blacking to our scalps beneath the thin parts! No, my brothers, that is not the good way. How much better to drift natu- rally into baldness, frankly and with smiling faces—a baldness that is like Indian summer after the leaves have fallen. To grow bald gracefully—that is an art worth cultivating. To those who would accept the inev- itable cheerfully, a few practical sug- gestions may be apropos. First of all, when you find the bare spots above your temples slowly but surely working back and the round hole on top widening like the ripples in a summer pool, when the telltale bunches of hair clog the teeth of your comb in the morning, when you must perforce recognize that baldness is approaching—then is the time to culti- vate what isleft. Let the back and side hair grow long and train it to cover the weak spots. Then, when the entire upper portion of the cranium is nude and exposed to the pitiless light of day, IT DOESN'T SEEM JUST There once was a famous M. D. Who daily drank gallons of tea ; A friendly adviser id, ' You surely will die, sir."” He replied, ‘' Your advice is N.'G."" these long and silky tresses can be brushed smoothly over in a modest, mid- dle-aged effect that conceals without de- ception. There are many styles in vogue for the arrangement of the long locks, but they are chiefly variations of two princi- pal methods. The first is to trim the hair on the right side, but to let that on the left grow long and brush it straight over from left to right. If it is rather thin, a pleasing open-work effect may be produced by finishing with the coarse teeth of the comb. Never allow these long locks to become disarranged and droop in a straggling fashion on the left shoulder. The second method is to trim the sides, but let the back hair grow long and brush it straight over from back to front. The ends may be trimmed ina straight or curved bang at the forehead or finished in a fetching cowlick or Napoleonic curl. A very attractive treatment is to part the back hair vertically in the middle, brushing the hair around the sides to the front, over the ears, ending in a curl at the temples. This, of course, leaves a chaste, bare portion on top. It is im- portant, in this case, that the part be absolutely straight and the whole effect smooth and symmetrical. This can best be accomplished with the help of a wife or other handy person. Hair treated in this way will last a long time, and when one by one the combed-over strands depart and com- plete baldness at last ensues, the public will be prepared. In baldness thus acquired there is no dishonor. Love is like rubber—it gets weaker the longer it is strained. comicbooks.com
