of natural curl Fasten the curer,
then do the same with the rest of the
fair. This wave will stay in for
week in the warmest weather.
If the hair has the least bit of q nat
ural wave, do not do it up on the curl
ers, but moisten it with the egg solu-
ton, and coax il into the semblance
of natural curls with the fingers. In
the morning wet only the edges OF the
hair. and repeat until the hair is really
Wavy. There is a natural position Of
the hair that has d suggestion of cur!
that must not be disregarded in using
this method. Always follow the natural
direction of the slight wave when doing
il up or forming it into curis with the
| fingers.
If one desires the hair to be fluffy
Instead of Wavy, a different method
must be selected The following will
! keep the hair fluffy even while at sea:
Moisten a comb repeatedly. and draw it
through the hair that is to be fluffed
until it is thoroughly damp. Divide
into strands, and twist each strand
around and around until it is like a
cord. before wrapping it around the kid
roller 1t is the first twisting that in
sures the fluffiness: the kid roller waves
the hair and the egg solution assists
the hair in retaining the curl. When
the hair is combed out the next morn
ing it will appear twice as thick as
usual which makes this treatment
to be recommended TO those whose
locks are scanty. If there is any trace
of the egg, brush the hair until ii dis
appears. After few trials one learns
tC apply it so that it can not be seen
when the hair is arranged.
During the winter once a week will
keep the most refractory straight locks
n condition, and in the warm weather
twice a week will answer for the most
fastidious. If one does not fancy using
the tea with the egg (for tea is liable
to darlen the hair), water may be used
instead; and since it is a dainty per-
sonal refinement to delicately scent the
hair rose water may be used to dilute
the egg. If the odor of the rose is not
fancied. use plain water with a few
drops of ones favorite perfume. Put
the egg mixture in wide-mouthed
bottle, covered, and keep in cold
place where it will remain fresh until
used.
If one insists on using the iron to
wave the hair at least use it intellt-
gently. No hair can withstand the de-
structive use of the ''tongs." and one
that is perfectly straight should be
bought, or made to order. Around this
iron the hair should be folded smoothly,
in the shape of natural curl. Hold it
in place few moments, then gently
pull the iron out from the hair. Never
overhead a curling iron, for that de-
stroys its temper and it never curls
as well or as quickly afterward. Keep
the iron clean too, by frequent scour-
ings. Every one has noticed how
much more quickly a new iron curls
Che hair than an old one. 1t is per-
fectly clean, and for that reason the
heat reaches the hair at once. Do not
make the iron very hot Better hold
the curl in position for a longer time
than destroy the hair. No wise mother
is ever guilty Of using a curling iron on
a childs hair. If curls must be coaxed
into being, do the hair up on the soft
est rubber or kid rollers, and do not
draw them tight to the head, SO as to
torture the hair or draw the skin
around the eyes out of position.-Ben-
