Men worry themselves bald and women
wash their heads bare 1t makes very little
difference what happens to the head Of a male
SO long as he doesn't lose it, but the very best
hair preservative for women and children Is
a comb and brush Soap and water rot the
hair without cleansing the scalp Take. for
instance, two children in tho same family,
and, by way of experiment, comb and brush
one curly head and comb and shampoo the
other for five or six years. Unless the chill
dren belong to hairless family the former
will show q wig 50 per cent better in quality
and abundance than the crop Of the sister,
who has been soused eight or nine times a
month. Perhaps q better illustration is the
drowning process current among men, most
Of whom duck their haAds in cold water
every morning and duck the life out Of the
hair before the age of so. The dry wash is
worthy of trial, but the benefits must not be
looked for in less than three years
As beginning invest in . long black
comb having two grades Of teeth. Any COM
position will do but metal, which is objec-
tionable on account Of the heat engendered
in the friction. A good rubber comb is
about the best, not only on account Of the
elasticity Of the rack but against the glossy
black every particle of dust and soil shows.
To make perfect toilet the ''rackingn should
last until the comb passes through the hair
clean. Part Of the service must be towel with
which to wipe the comb every time it is drawn
through the hair. A brush will cost any
where from 81 to $50, according to the money
one may care to put in the mounting Silver
bound gavels are very expensive, the shell
backs come next and pretty ivories end ceIlu-
loids sell at s. and 81 There are rubber
goods for SO and the best wood mounts for .
dollar less
For real service nothing is better than
narrow, pelmwood, wild boar bristle brush
made Of the natural hair, which need not
cost moro than 81. There are the barber
brushes" served with black bristles, which a
woman doesn't want, as the color hides the
dirt. White bristles are better but less ser
viceable, as the bleaching weakens the hair,
but the best is the natural color, containing
mixture of gray, brown and black Used
every day dollar brush will last two months,
but after that it is not Of much account for
cleaning the hair. In fsct, no brush is worth
bureau room when it viii not reach through
the hair TO the scalp There are, to be sure,
different purposes TO which hair brushes are
put. Some people buy them to equip . dress (
ing case; others TO clean the comb on; still .
others to smooth the hair with after it has .
been combed, and a few to dress the hair and
cleanse the scalp. II intended for this last
service hong life cannot be expected from #,
By way Of care don't soak the brush; tho
bristles can be washed without swelling and
splitting the back. A better plan In to clean

turning TO the toilet, 1t 10 not time wasted to
spsnd thirty minutes day on the hair, first
using the comb, then the brush, and finally
the comb to dress IL Now, 10 is long tine
