"Why, that is the natural color said
the lady somewhat Indignantly. as she
twined long golden curl over hef
finger.
''But doe sn't his hair grow darker as
he grows older?n asked the reporter.
81 have heard that some mothers can
keep that bright gold in their children
hair all the time"
YES" assented the lady, THAT is so.
l kept the color in my little girls hair
until she was fifteen. and then she had
enough vanity to take care of it her
self.
"How did you do it?' asked the re-
porter.
Her hair was very fine and long
when she was six years old. but it be-
gan to turn dark. so every other day |
washed it in soda and common soap,
and when it was dry brushed it thor
oughly and then curled it. Once a
week rubbed the scalp with a raw
egg"
doesn't washing the hair so much
make it dry?" asked the Journaiier.
"Yes, if you do not brush it thor
oughly, and then it is the best thing
for it."
Your children have very beautiful
hair" said the reporter to lady who
sat in her drawing room, with a half
dozen children playing about her. All
of them but two had light yellow or
golden hair, with bangs and curls.
YES" she replied. Those two lit
tie children with short hair are my sis
ter's. l wouldn't have a child about
me unless it had pretty hair; but my
sister thinks differently. Teddie, the
boy, insisted on having his hair cut
while he was six, and he had the most
beautiful yellow hair, Just like spun
silk; and then Flora, the little girl.
cried to have her hair cut, to be like
Teddie. My sister says it makes boy
more manly to have short hair, but for
my part don't see any necessity of be-
ing manly at six
''How do you keep your children
hair so pretty?"
"Oh," she replied. s'they have a
French bonnie who washes their hair in
salt water and little potash and puts
it up in curl papers every night. Their
hair does not curl naturally, yoJ
KNOW"
"Isn't the salt water injurious to the
hair?''
NO, | think not. although | have
often heard so: but my children have
heavy hair, and they have had il
washed in salt water ever since they
were babies
A lady living on Fifth Avenue has 4
little girl with large black eyes, aud
very yellow hair floating over her
shoulders to her waist. The reporter
asked her if she did not possess an I'M
usual style of beauty.
''Oh. no" she replied; ssbut l bleach
her hair. am SO partial to dark eyes
and fair hair, so L keep her hair
bleached.'
How do you accomplish it," asked
the reporter.
II wash it in lemon-juice once a
week, and the acid makes it light. Nv
other children have black hair. and |
keep it dropped close to their heads,
but Ethel is the plainest of sill of them,
so thought it was well to give her
some special advantage"
"Why don't YOU have your boy.
