Daisy! Daisy! where areyou?" Sew

AFayorite Hair Dressing.

One OF the pleasantest and best OF
hair dressings can be made by the fol
lowing recipe which forms the base OF
many OF the most popular prepara-
tions:
Castor oil (pure and fresh), six
ounces; alcohol (95 per cent., two
ounces; Oil of bergamot, one dram.
Mix and shake well. Bergamot IS an
exquisite and favorite perfume. but
any fragrant oil such as rosemary or
lavendar may be substituted if pre-
ferred. The proportions OF the recipe
are excellent, yet one may make the
dressing less oily, If liked, by ornitting
an ounce OF two c. the oil.
