REDDISH BROWN HAIR
10 Be The style for Ladies This Fall-COm-
fort for Bald-Headed Men.

"Reddsh brown hair will be worn this
fall" said the proprietress of Baltimore
hair-dressing establishment whose opinions
are regarded-as DEGREES.
Glossy, well-groomed braids of a rich red
dish brown color will be coiled round the
shapely heads of Baltimore women who
wish to be in fashion. says the Sun of that
city. Bleached hair is entirely out of favor.
and with it will all the dry, chippy, straggly
effects that have baen popular so long. A
sort of varnish has been prepared which
will bring the color of the blonde locks back
to the desired color. The liquid is put on
with a small brush, drawn across a few
strands at time, from the roots to the ends.
The day after the varnish is put on the hair
is washed, and the color is then permanent
or at least for so long as Dame Fashion de-
crees that reddish brown is to be the favor
ite color.
The hair itself is to be the most beautiful
thing in this seasons styles. Smooth as
satin it must be, and as glossy, showing in
its sickness, the careful grooming it has
received The chatelaine braid is one Of the
most attractive styles for this fall, and is
likely TO be most popular. as 1t shows the
beauty of the hair and admits of the use Of
many fancy pins. To arrange the chate-
lane braid the hair is drawn to the back of
us
as best suits the face beneath. Four plaits
are made. which are eoiled around the back
of the head from the rape of the neck
nearly to the front hair, and fastened with
shell pins. The shape of the lead is clearly
defined by this dressing.
The fluffy bang is cut straight across the
forehead, and but slightly curled. The
pointed bang has long been in disfavor,
both because of its hideOuSness and general
unbec0mingness. The hair back OF the
bang is slightly full and drawn softly back.
showing the parting and showing clearly
that the bang is a cut, and not a laid on one.
All the styles this fall will require a
greater supply of hair than is possessed by
women not specially blessed by nature, and
it is very likely that great deal of false
hair will be worn.
With regard to the care of the hair the
specialist said: Nothing could possible be
worse for the hair than violent and constant
brushing to which so many women subject
it. A hair is tube, with all its liquids in
side. The brushing draws the liquid down
until 1t forms little Jumps, which get dry
and hard and finally crack. The hair does
not require violent treatment, either by
rubbing or brushing, and it is quick to re-
sent it by becoming harsh and dry and
splitting Nor should water be used much
on the head. The head throws off great
quantity of effete matter and collects much
dust from outside. To cleanse it thoroughly
gentle manipulation Of the scalp with a
tonic containing tar is most effeetual.
Most women can easily learn to do this
manipulating themselves. and 1t should be
done every day. 1t is great deal easier
and healthier, too, to cleanse the hair each
day than to let the effete matter accumulate
for weeks, clOggng the roots of the hair,
and then subject the head to violent
scrubbing and rubbing, nearly tearing the
hair out by the roots.
1.-The hair should be rested frequently by
changing the style of wearing it. l have
met women that have actually boasted that
they have twisted their hair in one style for
twenty years. If they know anything at
all they should know that twisting the hair
constantly on the top of the head weakens
and often kills the delicate nerve centers
with which the hairs are connected, and
that they have opened the spot on their
heads which closed when they were infants.
L have always looked on Dald-headed man
as crippled. The loss Of the nerve centers
with which the hair is connected means the
loss of a certain amount of brain power.
:" Ii the hair roots are not entirely de-
stroyed very gentle manipulation with a
good tonic for about ten minutes each day
will gradually strengthen the weakened
nerve centers and new growth OF hair
would result. Bnt 1t would take about a
year. And where is the man who has the
patience for that? He would, and very
likely does, rub and brush his head vio-
iently for week or two until he possibly
kills what hair roots may be left But to
devote ten minutes of each day for a year
to the gentle stimulation of the scalp, that
is too much for him, even though the reward
be luxuriant new growth of hair"
