will be natural one and will be seen

brunette, medium and nondescript.
The way the blonde hair and the bru-
nette is made to shine is thus told by a
hairdresser who has 4 large patronage

to fulfil the highest aim Of woman's

."This rule must be remembered in

The hair of the summer girl is to have
| the fragrant scent dreamed of by the
| ancient poets and sting by the modern
ones. It must exhale that peculiar
fragrance that comes from the scented
locks of woman who understands the
| secret of "crown of glory"
The ways to accomplish this are many.
| The simplest way of getting immediate
| results is to sprinkle perfume extract
upon a handkerchief and bind the hair
with it until the handkerchief dries. But
there are better ways; and one of these
| takes the summer woman back to the
days when grandlnamma wore 4 night
cap.
| A nightcap is absolutely necessary for
| the seeming of the hair properly: But
a gloritied nightcap it may be- The hair
neck and knotted loosely. not pinned. I'M
til it lies in a coil at the back of the neck.
The front is brush he'd plain.
This is done when the summer girl is
getting ready for the sweet repose which
summer, bellies enjoy when they are con-
scioqs that they are Strengthening hearts
by the thousand.
The ha If all smoothly knOtted at the
back Of the neck. the nightcap is drawn
on. But such little love of n nightcap
it isl The outside is fitted closely, like
! u baby's hat. but it is thinner and gives
ventilation. and shows the color of the
hair at the same time. 1t is a very
ornamental little bit of lace that is
drawn down over the hair!
The secret of the cap is. like the prctti-
ness of the summer gown. In the lining.
This is 4 osely-quilted cap of pink
satin stuffed with violet sachct powder.
Diamond-shaped holes, are cut in the sat
in to match those In the cap and the lin
ing is tackled snugly iii place inside the
pretty lace thing that is drawn so sntlgly
| over the hair.
There arc small pins that catch the
cap ut the top of the head and at the
sides. These are shielded pins to keep
the points from touching the head Of the
girl whose dreams must be as sweet as
her locks.
There is a tiny lace rutfle setting
around the face to give hecomingness
to the cap: and, all in all, the summer
girls nightcap is Il very becoming thing.
In the morning, when the little pins are
taken out, the hair falls full of sweet
ness.
To perfume the locks by day, in the
same process that makes the hair shine,
there are small pillows. highly scented,
upon which the hair is spread to dry.
These pillows have covers, which are re-
movable, and can 5be dried and resulted
with scent and used again.
Mrs. Langtry, who will go down in
| history as one of the worlds famous
| beauties, avs the first woman to dis
cover the value of shining locks. Be
fore her day dark-haired women used
to do everything they could to take the
| gloss off their hair and when they
| could not do it they hid it beneath So
called diamond powder. which was
only powdered glass and which cut the
| hair of the bellies cruelty.
The Langtry gloss was obtained by
brushing. But there are some whose
hair is so fine that even the softest
brush Injuries it, if used too much. To
| these is recommended the good diet of
