SlNGELNG THE HAIR.
The Orthodox Modern Treatment
for Rough Tresses.
Custom of Clipping the Ends Every New
Moon Is Now Obsolete-SinEeing In
crenses Vitality of the Hair
and ReVIVes Growth.

Various modes of washing and
styles of massage are claimed to ben
eft the hair and cure it of i'll color
and weak growth; but for forked
ends, "snake tongues" as some women
call the splitting of the ends of the
hair, there seems to be now but one
accepted remedy. This is ''singeing."
TO clip the ends every new moon was
the old custom Every woman could
do it for herself, and in that act con-
sisted the entire scientific care of the
hair a decade ago. But it never was
very successful; the hair with ten
dency to split went right on splitting
Singeing generally stops the trouble,
Some of its advocates claim that the
old, Ignorant method of clipping left the
little hollow tubes of the hairs open,
while singeing leaves them closed,
stopped" in natural state. But this
is an exceedingly fine point of con
tention.
Singeing, unfortunately, cannot be
done by woman for herself Nor can
two women do it very satisfactorily
for each other, unless they happen to
be trained hair dressers
Women who are in the habit of hav-
ing their hair "attended to" advise the
singeing process once a month. Many
say that their own experience goes to
show that it acts upon the hair as
pruning does upon a plant-increases
its vitality and revives it's growth
This treatment is now given the hair
at all tirst-class hair-dressing estab-
lishmcnts here and abroad, while many
women have a standing appointment
with some favorite expert for treat
ment in her own dressing-room once a
month.
The approved process at one very
fashionable Partisan hair dresser's is
exceedingly simple, yet not safe in un-
trained hands. The hair is loosened
and shaken out, and the maid runs
over it with lighted taper, touching
all the projecting ends. A flash here
and flash there and you are singed
Then you are swathed in Turkish
towels-gentlv inclined over the bowl
