What wise thing it was for some
wise woman to change the style Of
chopping off her daughters hair as
soon as it was any length. They used
to keep it short all through the school
days so that the debutante's Grown

These cropped years were supposed to
insure this result.

For wee girls the granny curls" are
almost exclusively used. The hair is
parted, and narrow pink, blue or white
ribbons tie two curls to fall forward
over the ears, so that, when the bon
net is put on, they are tied in front of
the strings. Sometimes these little but

Strong tea deepens the color Of hair
that is too wildly red. and the appli-

that is neither black nor brown, but is
just a dull, rusty color. Taken all in

A very quaint fashion for the sum-
mer is that Of gathering a childs hair
up on top of the head and tying with
a ribbon. The ends are then allowed
to float loose, and are slightly curled at
the tips. This style is cool and very
becoming to small, plump faces.
Another cool style is that of parting

A harmless shampoo for a child con-
sists of a lather of CASTLE soap, well
beaten with the yolk of an egg. A
pinch of bOrax can be added to The
shampoo, but it must not be added lib
orally, as the roots of a child's hair will
not bear the harsh treatment of older
heads.
After the hair is washed with TINS
preparation it should be well rinsed IN
many lukewarm waters and quickly
dried in the sun. secs
