KEEPING HAIR IN Curl.
ITO keep hair IN curl there arc several
hints that must be followed.
Don't try to curl the hair before II -
thoroughly dry.
'If you put II up wet. let n remain up
until It is as dry a. . bone.
Don't stiffen the waves with glycerins
unless you want an artificial look-though
these stiff waves are nns for hot days and
for travelling.
Don't forget that the old-fashioned
ounce seed mixture. made very thin ana
used sparingiy. Is a. good to-day as Il
was twenty years ago. II Will keep thS
hair in curl.
"when washing the hair don't injure the
roots. Don't dig them with the finger
nails. Be careful not to irritate the
scalp Irritation Of the scalp makes dam

scalp must not be dug.

Fragrant hair is quite fad these days.
II fragrant locks are desired. take a drop
or two Of rose altar and massage II into
tho parting. It can be diluted b. the
druggist with spirits OF cologne so as to
maze sufficient massage for the whole
head. If rose is too expensive. use oil Of
rose gcranium. Or ask the druggist for
oil OF verbena or any other oil you like.
But be sure to dilute It. both for the sake
Of economy and because It will burn the
scalp.

Hair Is more fashionable than II used
to be. A woman cannot get along with a
little wisp OF hair twisted on top Of her
head and look well any more She must
have hair. and plenty Of it. This leads
to the wearing of false pieces and the best
women do wear them.

are bad places. In this way the head can
be made to look ever so symmetrical.
1T not infrcqueEtly happens that a
woman will have no less than three false
pieces on her head. She will have false

will have n lovers knot at the back OF
her neck. and over her ears will dangls
