SPRING SUITS OF HAIR
How to Encourage a Full. Silky,
Shiny New Growth-Advice for
Treating Falling Hair.

II Is not necessarily a sign Of inCipient
badness or premature age VIXEN Il wo-
mans hair, in the spring OF the year, be-
gins 10 fall out with amazing rapidity.
This is on alarming manifestation, but
one Is moulting. changing the heavy winter
suit for lighter spring covering, and tue
quantity and quality OF tie new growth
depends very much on the discreet and care
full treatment given ones head at this critl-
cal juncture.
Deluging with more or less trustworthy
tonics and paHicky trips to the hair
specialist are not OF so much avail as
simple home remedies, ard all along i'll
! these days, when the ga p is rising in the
trees, sensible women clip their treSSes
once in every fifteen days They merely
trim the edges with Iair of very sharp
scissors ana then singe the raw ends over
a candle flame. This has exactly the same
effect as pruning a hedge. il forces u
fuller growth on the scalp, and we all are
agreed that it is better 10 LOast Il short
! thick suit. rich and shiny in quality, than
| long wecdy locks, badly split and only
| lightly covering the scalp.
Another word to the wise. In spring
| wash your bair at least once every fort
| night. and don't wash it before going to
| bed. for the hair must dry rapidly, aud in
| the light. IT is rot only healthy to sham
| poo your head frequently, but at this
| time of the year nothing so stimulates
! the SprOutlug strands.
Wash your head in Il warm bath and
| use either CASTLE or sulphur soap. IL
| you don't care to use soap, the next best
| cleansing process ana invigoratng too,
| is to beat lightly the yolk OF an egg and
| pour it over the dry scalp. With your
finger tips rub this in, and then plunge head
| ana treSses into q basin of tepid fluid,
| dashed with one teaspoonful OF cloudy
! ammonia or bOraX. Directly the water
| grows disCOl0red, a fresh bath must be
| drawn and basin OF the clean fluid used,
until the last one is quite cold and the scalp
| is quite free of sticky egg or soap sutis.
After wringng out the bulk OF hair a
couple Of big Turkish towels, if used
hot from hanging before a fire, Will all
! but completely dry the head, and then,
| instead OF hanging round the kitchen range
! or over the ill-smeiling register, finish the
| process With The long hair by using patent
| dryer. This treasure is made of metal, is
| shaped like Il rather short flattening biscuit
roller, with only one long handle. AT the
| blunt end ii OPENS aud is found to be stuffed
| with the same material as that used in Jap
! anese muff warmers and carriage stoves.
! Now by the simple process of firing the con-
| tents, closing the end and passing the
long roller through ones web-tangied locks,
| the usually tedious process OF drying out Is
| shortened TO eight or ten minutes, aud the
| most hopeless maze of kinks is regulated, as
| If by magic.
| Hair, no wever, washedin ammonia, Dorax,
! or even with soap, though left light and
! shiny from the effect of the egg, is apt to
| fluff and fuZz as though every strand had
| been separately through hot tongs. To al
lay this little cocoa oil or any pure grease
ought 10 be rubbed into the scalp and vig-
| orous brushing put in train. Excessive dry
ness is indeed popularity of many Ameri-
| can women's hair, the result OF our climate
and rather second-class digestions, aud to
| correct this steady cocoa oil or grease
| treatment ought to be kept UP for two or
| three months at time, applying q little
| of the emolient once in six or seven days and
| and brushing it out in the length of hair.
| To use French brilliantine CDce q month
is ben eficial for dry, lusterless hair. but the
| woman who washes her hair at short in
1 teryals, oils and clips 1t regularly. need not.
| however, pretend to show a shiny, sweet
| smelling head unless she does her daily
| stint of brushing faithfully and with mus.
