How to Wash the Hair,

There can be no cast iron rules for car
ing for the hair, but one, and that is keep
1t clean" After that cases must be stud
led individually. The safest and cheapest
wash for the hair is a tablespoonful of
borax to a gallon of soft water, plenty of
good CASTLE soap, lots of clean towels and
an egg. Divide the hair evenly, comb down
over the face and bend over the basin.
Soap the hands well and rub the scalp,
then lift up the water and wash hair and
head thoroughly. Have the beaten egg at
hand and after the soap bath rinse the
hair in luke warm water. Then rub the
beaten egg into the scalp with the fingers
twist towel around your head and hair
and let the egg remain for about five min
utes. Then rinse in three warm waters
borax in the two first ones; dry with the
towels till no more water drips off. Then
sit down in the sun If possible, with your
hair hanging down over the back Of your
chair. Shake your head a little occasion
ally, and by the time your hair is dry
nearly every knot will be out Of 1t. If it re-
mains snarled, pull the strands around and
straighten them with your fingers. When
quite dry, and not before. begin to comb
the ends of the hair first, grasping the
locks close to the scalp, SO that no strain
