Never allow yourself to be Influenced
to use anytime in washing ghe hair but
81 ap-a bland or super-fatted soap; the
preparation wh.eh gives the best results
is the tincture Of green soap, says a doc
tor who makes a specially Of scalp treat
nent..
Make a good lather of this all over the
head. and then wash and rinse in water
at a temperature of about 1e5 degrees. If,
however. there is a tendency to irfiam-
nation or eczema. soap must never be
used except under the advice OF a ply
sician. Most of the grayness nowadays
is due to eezematous Inflammation OF the
scalp, which passes unded the name Of
dandruf.
Like many other diseases, dandruff is
parasitic. 1t is perfectly and entirely
| possible to arrest this disease and the gray
ness caused by it by the use of the green
soap combined with some mild antiseptic.
Washing the hair every fortnight as /
have advised, and the application of u
mild antiseptic every night Is bound to
eradicate dandruf and arrest grayness,
unless. Of course, the grayness is heredi-
tary.
Much of premature badness is also due
to dandruff. and that is the reason wins
it is so necessary to begin the care of the
chiid's scalp in infancy.
ssThe reason why badness is so much
more frequent among men than women?
It is due to their continual wearing Of
stiff hats. not only in this but in preced-
ing generations: and if the use of the
present hat is continued for some centur-

Mrs. Oliphant, the novelist, has recently
removed to a picturesauely situated resi-
dence overlooking Wimbledon Common.
1t is called "The Hermitage and is it
self anything but picturesque, with its
bold, yellowish brick outlines. but every
window sill has been frightened with
flowers. and the passer-by forgets to be
critical if. through happy chance, Mrs.
Cliphant's face is recognized at the bay
window Of the drawing room. There is
a quaint garden at the side of the house,

flowers are growing.
