Care Of the Hair.

The possession Of healthy and we'll
kept head should be the proud boast of
every woman. but unfortunately the
contrary is too often the case The ex-
cuSe is frequently made for untidy locks:
oh, but if I had your hair it would be
SO easy to arrange 1t. Mine goes every
which way" The truth of the matter IS
that the speaker has pursued a policy
Of neglect for such a length of time that
the hayward tresses have got into bad
habits and require quite a little training
to overcome them.
Smooth. shining tresses that we 50
much admire are the result of a good
physical condition of the scalp. The
general health Of the individual has
much to do with this matter, and hence
it is wise to obtain the advice Of a ply
stefan in cases of great loss of hair. If
his remedies are of no effect the trou-
Bile is probabl located in the scalp and
the services of a hair specialist should
be sought.
Cleanliness is essential in the care of
the hair. Use stiff brush, but not one
which scratches the scalp. Many people
labor under the impression that vigor-
Gus brushing Of q hundred strokes a
night and morning viii have the effect
Of making the hair grow The brush
should only be applied with a gentle
caressing motion The scalp, IT is true,
needs exercising. but that is best given
by finger massage.
The two objects in brushing the hair
are, first. to polish and. secondly, 10
clean. The bristles distribute the natural
oil and remove the surface dust, render
ing the hair glossy and smooth.
Frequent massage of the scalp viii do
much to promote the growth of the
hair. The motion should be rotary, be-
ginning in front. over the forehead. and
going back to the crown, then forward
to the temples and back and forth, till
