Many persons ascrbe this to dand-
run ana plaster the scalp with grea 81
or buy brushes with saw-like teeth
and attempt the cruel process of fore.
ing the dandruff out AS a matter. of
fact there is but one kind of dandruff
that is to be feared, the thick, scaly
yellow kind. That scurf shows grow
ing disease of the scalp; it often comes
after fevers, and no woman can be
clean and healthy whose head shows
It, Fine white dandruff is a good in
dication rather than not, and a stiff
hair brush does not take it out.
"A sensiSle and Clearly woman will
wash her hair once in three or four
weeks, and should use perfectly clear
tepid water with white of egg to bleach
the scalp: never use soap; look upon
boraX, soda, ammonia, or any prepar-
ations containing these alkalis as en-
emies, and don't pour bay rum on your
hair. Occasionally lemon juice is nice
but the well-beaten egg is better, and
after rubbing with the hands, rinsing
In clear, cold water, and drying in the
sun the hair is ready for the applica-
ton of some reliable tonic used merely
to soften and set the secretions in the
roots to flowing.
Every night and morning the hair
should be let down and the possessor
should, with her fingers, gently mas

up good circulation and raises all
the dandruff that will naturally rise

BRAID your hair in one tail loosely
down your back at night, and try to
study out several good ways of plnning
it up 5y day Hair should not be worn
tightly twisted and pinned, nor stead
lily, for any great length of time, in
one style. Light weight and very open
toothed com5s should be used in maxi
ing the pompadour, and night and
morning, when arranging your hair,
dip the dressing comb several times IN
pure water. Hair is like any other
plant. 1t needs drink, and in our dry
climate, where there is little moisture
in the air, to dampen the locks twice
Q day is a necessity, else they grow
stiff from thirst.
Happily, women no longer pine
after the possession of very long hair
very long hair is apt, unless the
growth is phenomenal, to be thin at
the roots, and nowadays a woman does
not boast that her hair measures TWEEN
ty-siX, twenty-seven or thirty-tive
inches, but how much her suit weighs
and how well her scalp is covered
This thickness of growth is only to be
had by cutting.
Anybody who has examined the hui
man scalp closely knows that in good
condition it sends out two growths a
year. If the hair is carefully pruned
1t can make three growths a year, but
this cutting must be done with unfail-
nearly as possible on the same date
every thirty days. is the best rule.
though weak thin hair should not be
cut. Singing is best for It. Hair
that is cut bleeds just as pant that
is pruned. and thereby loses some Of
its vitality. Singing obviates the
bleeding and the best way for an am
ateur to SINCE her hair is to gather up
the ends anu pass them slowly over
the top of lamp chimney. Very high
from the hot chimney at firs,, and
then slowly lower and lower until sud-
denly the ends crisp. A quarter to an
inch is enough a month, and it is ut
terly impossible to cherish poor hair
back to vigorous growth If curling
irons are used.
If the hair must be curled, then by
all means refrain from using paper
and pin the twisted hair up In bits Of
black silk. Some women would do as
well to rub their heads daily and
stroke ther hair with old silk hand
kerchiefs, and by knetting the four
corners OF a silk handkerchief slip on
this improvised cap at night. Silk
communicates electricity to the hair
and electricity creates the essential
gloss or polish that can be retained in
| snow white hair, adding greatly to its
| beauty.
