There is just one way to be pretty
in the summer time. If you have not
learned it, then your chances for
beauty are spoiled. But if you have
mastered it, you can be pretty for
ever as long as the summer breezes
blow or the hot winds lap the shore.
AS every summer woman knows, the
hot air of summer it death TO curls
and to any pretty arrangement Of the
hair And without pretty hair it is
impossible to be pretty in the summer
time
But if you will study the latter-day
methods you will find that you can
have pretty hair and that beauty in
the hot days of July and August is
within your reach.
Naturally curly hair needs no les.
son, for its owner has only to keep the
hair in a shining state. But the hair
that is not naturally curly must be
treated in many ways. And the most
important of these secrets is to. keep
the mair free from an over-accumula.
ton of the natural oils.
Dark hair is the hair that usually
gets oily soonest, so that all dark hair,
oily hair. or hair that shows ten
dency to string and to separate in
wide parting in the sides and back of
the head must be washed once a
week
In the winter time shampoo once
in two weeks or once month is Of
ten enough, but in the heat of the sum-
mer once week is not too often. By
washing it once a week the excessive
perspiration is freed from the hair, the
heated oils of the scalp are washed
away, and the hair is freed from the
dust which catches into it and remains
there in spite of brushing.
Remember that Oily hair will not
stay in curl; neither will hair that is
dusty; nor will hair curl that has a
touch of salt air in it. And fresh wa
ter bathing is almost as bad for the
curls as salt water bathing, for the
hair holds it's moisture a long time,
and while there is a drop of moisture
in it there is no chance for it to curl
Let the weekly shampoo consist of
an egg rubbed into the hair, after
which the egg is washed out with a
lather made of CASTLE soap and hot
soft water. Do not rub the cake of
soap upon the head, for it is impossi-
bic to get the soap out of the hair if
this is done. But prepare soap jelly
and keep it standing ready for use.
To make a soap jelly put a pint of
hot water on the stove and add to it
a heaping tablespoonful Of powdered
boraX. Into this put heaping teacup-
full of shaved CASTLE soap, made as
fine as possible and powdered if you
have the facilities for powderiAg it.
Soap can be powdered, if it be dry
cake of soap, by tying it in a bag of
muslin. Lay the bag upon a stone
and pound gently with little ham
mer, using short, quick strokes until
all is powder within the bag. Empty
this into the pint of hot water and
let the whole simmer until the soap is
dissolved. Take off the stove, pour
into a quart jar, and let it get cold.
Keep and use as wanted.
After the soap jelly has been rubbed
into the head the hair must be washed
in what a French hair dresser declares
is thousand waters. This hair dress.

his waves, often takes fifteen whole
minutes for the rinsing of hair alone.
The hair is then well dried, and this
certainly takes three hours, unless
one has a steam dryer, which is a
thing possessed by few amateurs. Re

hair will feel dry long before it is
really so, and that moisture fingers
in it a long time after the locks feel
smooth and as dry as a bone.
