" BRUSH IT. "
Brush Your Hair, Girls, for That's the
Way to Seautify 1t.

Way to Seautify 1t.
Something particularly good from the
American analyst:
Brush the hair d again brush it. This
is the beginning and the end of admonition.
Not for you, few girls, who have maids
who smooth your hair night and morning.
But for you, many girls; good, sweet. whole
some, everyday girls, who are responsible
for your own goodness, and sweetness, and
wholesomeness, and who wrestle with your
own straight or curly tresses
Brush it. So shall your hair be clean and
silky. No amount of combing will make it
either. Look well to your brush. No wire
brush, no heavy silver-backed brush, but
even, well-chosen bristles.
Abundant hair is an ornament, but it is
a responsibility. A woman's crown of
glory is apt 10 be a very dirty diadem
There is no dustcatcher equal TO great
shock of hair. Every flying particle lodges
In the flowing tresses that the poets rave
over, and sits down from silken thread to
silken thread, whether the locks be brown
or gold.
II your hair is dull in color, wry in te K
ture and Will not catch the FURNISHED CLEAN
of the last rhyme you read, brush it, If it
is sing the gloss it had when You were
younger, if it looks old and sickly, brush it.
IL your hair is fretful and peevish, brush it
till it smiles and behaves with docility under
the comb again
Wash it first. Beat an egg into foam,
rub it well into the roots, thoroughly, but
gently, then rinse it in lukewarm water
Keep a small brush for the purpose-a
nail brush or a toothbrush will answer
and part your hair, strand by strand, until
you have cleansed the scalp well over
If your hair is moist by nature, dissolve
a little borax and glycerine in the rinse
water; if it is harsh and dry, use glycerine
oolx Loot no
lation, feel uneasy or sore. Find an airy
place-in the sun, if the day is not too
warm-and brush the wet hair dry. Brush
it caressingly with a soft brush till the
moisture is nearly expelled. Then stop
petting it and brush brisky with a stiff
brush till it is satiny and dry.
Ibid it ever occur to you that the scalp
wants exercise and gets very little. The
hair fades, sometimes turns white, grows
rough and disobedient, because it is NOTED.
Direct fuller flow of blood to the hair fol-
licles, and they will eat and grow young
At bedtime unfasten your hair and brush
it. Brush it half an hour every evening for
a month After that brush it fifteen min
utes nightly-teu minutes, if you have no
more time. Loosen it completely, rub it
with your fingers, rubbing and brushing
alternately, using, as before, first n soft,
soothing brush, then vigorous, stiff one.
Brush it to the tips of the longest threads
Gather it very closely for the night, allow
ing full ventilation, and in the morning
brush it fifteen minutes at first, afterwards
ten minutes, devotedly every day.
II your hair is thin and threatens to fall,
or the parting is growing inconveniently
wide, let it down at night and massage the
scalp. Rub it, gather the loose skin between
the fingers. Give it some work to do every
day, and brush it. Part it on the side at
night and give the days parting a rest.
Brush it, brush it, brush it,
