Advertising Section MISS ANDERSON'S STATEMENT When I arrived at the Kaufmann & Fabry Studio, my hair was straight as you may see in the picture at the left. I had very little faith in any of the so-called hair-wavers and expected I would have to visit my hair dresser before, keeping my other posing appointments in the afternoon. To my delight, as you will see from the center photograph, it was not necessary. My hair was perfectly waved. I have proved to my own satisfaction that Maison Marcellers will save time, money and the bother of waiting to have one's hair marcelled. (Signed) Miss Evelyn Anderson. KAUFMANN &. FABRY CO.

Just 30 minutes with the liaison Marcellers, once a iceek — right at home — and marcels, as perfect and lovely as the most skilled specialist in waving can give, will be yours from now on.

And the initial cost is practically nothing — just the price of a marcel or two — and you are free from waving expense forever ! It Waves While You Dress What if someone does phone a dinner invitation just after you have come in from a swim, with your hair still damp? What if you d"o return from a blowy motor ride or a wave-ruining round of golf to find that the crowd is planning to leave in thirty minutes for a dance in a nearby town ? You can be ready, with hair beautifully groomed and smoothly waved. All you do is slip the Maison Marcellers on slightly dampened locks — and while you freshen up and change your frock, your hair is waving. At the end of thirty minutes you slip the Maison Marcellers off — and your hair lies in smooth, soft, loose waves about your face !

Regardless of how fuzzy the permanent is it can be shaped into a perfect marcel by these Marcellers. is continuously waved with hot irons. As you know, each single hair is a tiny hollow tube. Every time the hot iron touches it each fragile tube is bent and twisted, first one way, then another. This constant bending back and forth soon breaks the hair off, and leaves you with a head of uneven-length, brittle hair. You won't believe how quickly your hair will regain all the soft, silky lustre that Nature has bestowed on it, once you are free from the tyranny of hot irons, the hot blast of water-wave "setting." A few months' use of the Maison Marcellers and your hair will recover its beauty. And after that, you will never go back again to hair-ruining irons.
