Making Light Hair Bloom.
In shampooing light hair let the
shampoo contain soap, soda and borax

upon it there may be drop of am
| monia added. The shampoo can be a
vigorous one and the rinsing waters
may have soda. until the last water or
two. Then the hair may be dried in the
brightest of sunshine. The result will
be obvious. The hair will bloom bright
ly and the color will be several shades
lighter than before.
Light hair instead of being brushed
should be tossed. 1t should be thrown
from hand to hand until dry as ash,
and then it is ready for the slight,
slow wave. Let it merely wave a lit
tie and then let it be done up to form
frame to the face. The tongs will
give it the necessary curl. 1t should
not be a deep curl.
Hair that is like carrots can be deep
ened by treating the roots with castor
oil; hair that is too light. showing fad
ed tones, can be strengthened by root
massage; hair that is of a drab color
is very easily improved, for the least
treatment will make 1T bright unto
gold; hair that is no color at ALL just
an uncertain brown, can be made dark
er or lighter as the taste may dictate
In fact, all shades of hair are easily
managed and the woman can suit her
self and her friends in adapting the
color to her complexion and tastes.
Hair dyeing is only permissible when
the tone of the hair is to he preserved. |
Those who are gray and who have not
checked the grayness in time must dye |
the hair, and for this any one of the |
reliable dyes can be used. Gray hair |
is seldom pretty except upon the very |
old, and the woman who is premature !
ly gray may resort to the dye bottle |
criticism.
1t is always in questionable taste to I
alter the color of the hair
Black hair can be blended by chem
cals, but it must be frequently treat
ed, and then it usually shows that it
IS blended. The same is true of light
hair, which shows that it has been
lyed, and when it is made jet it does
lot always accord with the complexion.
But making the hair bloom is quite
another matter, and the woman whose
lair is dull and grayish looking or
whose hair is streaked or shady or dis
lgreeable can get to work upon it at
nee with a surety that it will be i'm
proved
A tonic shampoo is made by dissolv-
ng pure olive or almond oil soap in
lot water. Use a cake to a pint of
water. Take a tablespoonful of the
Dap jelly. which will be formed by ,
netting the SOAP and add to it a quart
f tepid water in which there is lump
washing soda about the size of
mall marble.
To deepen the color of light hair
here is a tonic which consists of about
cup of black tea, one ounce each of
lcohol, of bay rum and glycerine.
Hair that is either too dark or too
ght can be greatly benefited by rub
ing into it mixture consisting of
he ounce each of lanoline and almond

ycerine and tincture of iaborandi.

1T to be recommended to those who
ave an excess of oil in the scalp.
Men who are getting bald can rub
to the bald spots mixture consisting
glycerine and rose water. Be sure,
Ough that glVcerine agrees with the
in before using. Women who find
e head becoming a little bald over
e temples can also try this.
When the hair falls out one can rub
e roots with glycerine or with castor
I, scented with oil of rose geranium.
In brushing the hair it is a great mis-
Ike always TO brush from the fore
ad and temples back. The hair should
parted in the middle and brushed
and parted in the back and
ushed each way. The brush, if con- n,
unity used on the temples will irri-
