the glow looks as though il had been done

Scalp massage is another of the luxuries
which is better done by professionals than
by ones self 1t isn't only the applica-
ton of the tonic, but the vigorous knead-
Ing your scalp gets, that leaves your hair
soft and fluffy and makes your head feel
as good as new. Scalp massage is stimu-
lating to the hair and many women find 1T
beneficial TO substitute the massage for
the usual shampoo.
In the matter of manicuring, home talent
fares better than in massage. once In
every two weeks is often enough for the
professional treatment of the nails and the
rest of the time the unprofessional care
will suffice.
1t isn't only women but men, who seek

one trim maid who looks after feminine
and masculine wants In these directions,
Ito know the number OF men who come in
here to be massaged and manicured. They
are more exacting about the way they are
looked after than the women, more vain
and far more anxious TO hide the fact that
they do employ any means of beautifying
themselves" Which is very soothing to
the much derided feminine vanity.
The hairstOres where false tresses of all
possible variety are sold are fascinating
places. 1t is interesting to wander from
one case 10 another, imagining yourself IN
all kinds of makeups, from that of one of
the seven Sutherland sisters 10 that of

accompanying desire for beauty.
THE HAIR THAT DECEIvES.
More false hair is being used just now
than for a long time past Indeed 1t was
limited not long ago that with the more
abundant skirts recalling the fashions of
the earlier part Of the nineteenth century,
were to be revived the piled-up coiffures-
the dreadful waterfalls and other modes
which called for so much hair that few
women could depend upon nature alone for
the wherewithal for their construction.
That danger is improbable, say the hair
dressers, but the modish styles Of coffures
even now call for abundant tresses, and
there are many women who supplement
their own heads of hair with switches, puffs
and whatnot. One of the best hairdressers
says that the low coiffure-which is, she
declares, the only style for all times and
all places-necesstates additional tresses
for the coils must be full and firm and be
really beautiful, and few women have
enough hair TO use In the construction of
pOmpadour and in coils on the neck too
Another OF the hairdressers declares that
II Is the high pompadour and plain back
hair that is the accepted style, and that
the pOmpadour alone calls for false tresses
frequently. Even those women who brush
their hair trinity of their and neck

or the pompadour, which is more elaborate
than ever before.
one OF the cleverest arrangements where

Is a fringe OF short, wavy locks on an in
