CARE OF THE HAIR.
tIw TO Make the Most of 1t when 1t
Has Grown Thin and
Scanty.

There is nothing that adds more to
he beauty of ones appearance than
4. pretty head of hair. The present
tyles Of hair dressing are so charm
ng and varied that they can be
adapted 10 suit almost every form of
face and feature Nevertheless, a
great many girls do not know how
TO make the most of their hair. They
might look twice as charming as they
do did they but understand the sub
ject, says American Queen.
The woman with scanty locks seeks
to remedy her deficiencies by drag
ging her hair over all sorts and eon-
iitions of pads, which she rarely sue
leeds in entirely hiding, or else she
supplements her lack of hair with
switches and curls. Others whose
locks are not of the most abundant,
wash them frequently, using strong
soda, and then curl aud twist the un-
fortunate hair To make it frizzy.
True, they gain indeed, for the time
being, an appearance of thickpess,
but sooner or later the texture of the
hair is entirely ruined
The first step to make the hair
grow thick is to use hygienic meas
ures, and TO learn, meanwhile how
to dress it to give an appearance of
quantity without in any way injuring
the texture of the hair itself.
Hair should be washed at least
every three weeks. and kept scrupu-
lousy clean between times by being
brushed and combed daily with alb
solutely clean implements. Do not
forget that if the shampooing is done
at home you must use plenty of soft
water, and keep on lathering the head
and changing the water until the
hair is beautifully soft. sickness
does not mean that only soap is left
in, but that dirt is there as well. If
the hair is clean, it is possible not to
wash all the soap out, and yet to
have ones hair soft and fluffy.
Remember in drying the hair
never to use heat, but rub the scalp
thoroughly with dry towels, and then
separate the long hairs into strands
and then fan them vigorously.
A good hair tonic is an excellent
thing for thin hair, but it is useless
to get one bottle and expect it to do
any good. Buy the best always and
rub it into the roots of the hair three
special attention to the temples,
where the hair is apt to be thinnest;
then take a perfectly clean brush, not
too hard, and plunge into the hair,
giving quick, scrubbing, circular
movements, until the scalp glows.
This, as well as streng hening the
roots of the hair, has tendency to
make it fluffy.
1t is undoubtedly very much 4tter
for the health of the hair not to at
tempt anything in the way of artiti-
cial waving or curling; nevertheless,
waves and curls do add very much to
the attractiveness of the appearance,
and any one who has even the slight
est tendency to curliness can, in time,
get quite oking waves by
natural means.
1t takes time to accomplish this;
do not try twice and then give it up.
Such proceeding is worse than USE
less. Begin by combing all the hair
you wish to wave over the face;
moisten this slightly with bay rum,
or eau de- cologne and water; take
back the front piece, twist it around
the fingers, and pin it onto the head
in place with a small comb. Take
another piece. and repeat the process.
Leave it for about half an hour, and
comb it but lightly with coarse
tooth comb. Then turn the hair down
over the face once more. and fun its
