n TRINGY. iusrerless locks prove a
most disag-eeabie aftermath to

standing the words of warning
she receives, the average girl is apt to
be careless with regard to giving proper
attention TO her hair during the summer,
just when it is probably getting severe
exposure to salt water. sun, etc, and
needs the most care.
The result is that autumn finds her
with her treases in sad condition; and to
get them back TO their normal appear
ance means regular daily care for a
time.
The first thing to do is to trim the
ends of the hair carefully, or have them
singed. Not half enough importance is
given to this point, and neglect of the
dead, split ends often causes disease at
the roots of the hair. premature gray
ness, etc.
Another important thing is massage
There is no getting away from the fact
that If persisted in regularly this will
do wonders toward keeping UP the cir
cuiation OF the scalp and restoring a
healthy condition to the hair. Many
people have an idea that this is a COM
plicated method, and must be done by
an expert to be beneficial It really is a
simple proceeding, and although it is
always most satisfactory to have the
services of an expert. you can do Il very
thoroughly yourself if you try.

OF course, general directions will not
always answer; some hair responds to
one treatment and others TO another
For instance. I know of a case where
brushing failed TO bring luster TO the
hair, but friction by rubbing it with a
silk handkerchief frightened IL and
brought out the most beautiful warm
tints.
In brushing to restore luster the hair
should be divided into portions, and the
strokes long and even, so that 1t is
stimulated from roots to ends.
