TO CORRESPONDENTS.
Harriet wishes to keep her hair the
beautiful golden color it was when young
without bleaching it with soda or mate
riaIs which might injure the quality.
She can pour boiling water on chloride
of lime, a gallon of water to five table
spoonfuls Of lime, and hold her hair over
the fumes, taking care not to inhale
them. This is best done by an open
window, with face toward it, and the
vessel of vapor behind one Hold the
hair, parting and shaking it with the
fingers, over the fumes for five minutes
Then sit IL the sun, wearing q crOwnIess
straw hat, through whose openings the
locks are spread over the brim, to eX-
pose them fully. A wet cloth on the top
of the head will prevent discomfort
while bleaching the hair for an hour or
two. The bleaching can be done at a
window the sun falls through. Use lem
Ons and fruit freely as diet to aid in pre-
venting deposits of dark pigment on the
hair.
