you-but. still, it's my experience. By
the way. have you ever noticed how
many things and conditions and pee

quite the reverse practicaliy?)
Every beauty specialist and every

And, would you believe Tne-but of
course YOU won't!-it wasn't fort

from the hill, and fits kept on sprout-

1T must be my rat; If my rat does
not make my hair grow, at least it per-
nlits it to grow. which amounts to the
same thing" she wound up in triumph.
The habit of going to bed with ones
hair up or pinned to the head in
some makeshift style is as bad as can
be for the hair
One of the first principles of sue
cessful hair culture is perfect ventila-
ton of the scalp. Women can wear a
rat all day and not feel it, but to wear
it all day and all night. too, is rather
more than the ordinary head of hair
will stand. Keeping the hair up for
long stretches of time-two or three
days, for example-tires the head and
hair as much as it would tire the body
to keep on ones clothes. 1t is said
that standing all day in harness wears
on horse almost as much as being
overworked. Apply the same reasoning
to the scalp.
To go to sleep with pins or combs
pressing into the scalp is hair suicide,
besides being exceedingly uncofnfert-
able. IF the hair is to be waved and
padded with rats and pinned in a heavy
mass, tight down upon the head all
day, it certainly deserves a complete
rest during the hours when the rest OF
the body Is being relaxed and recre-
ated.
Waving the hair is another fashion
