THE GIRL YOU
WOULD LIKE TO BE
The Science Of Defying March
Winds.
BY KATHERINE MORTON.


</P F there Is anything In the world
80 desplse it's a March wind.
It blows my hair out of curl,
makes my skin look notified
and ugly. not TO mention its
devastating influence on my temper.
This Is the usual complaint of the would-oe
beauty. for certainly March Is most trying
time for her. with It's sudden changes or
temperature, its sunny days and cold winds
that tempt one first to wear summer under
wear and then to regret IT, and bundle up
again In all the fannels of winter. March
weather brings with It samples OF every
form of worry which the beauty seeker
combats throughout the year. There are
March freckes. March tan, red noses due
to the March wind. and the same element
causes lovely woman to wish she could
emulate the dear old Greek and Romans.
To quote Miss Blimber, Never go OUT
without wig whose every hair was war
ranted to stay put" 1t Is always about
March that the woman who is not inclined
to be particularly vain begins to fret about
her hair Her vain sister finds her hair a
steady source of worry all the year round
In the early spring brown hair looks life
less, drab hair seems particularly dark,
Snd the glints are gone from the locks OF
what may be called the medium blond"
Often this dull look is caused by lack Of
nour1shment OF the hair, due in turn to
poor circulation OF tile blood in the skin of
the scalp. Sometimes the long hairs look
hfeless or dry, while the roots of the hair
seem far too oily. Again, the hair Is lus-
terless by reason OF the dust which the
March wind blows upon it. Extreme care
must be given the hair during this first
spring month. In cases where the hair is

days. but never with very strong sham
poo. Salts of tartar quantities of borax
or soda are all too strong TO apply to the
hair oftener than once In six weeks. Both
will tighten the hair and make 1t very dry
ana brittle. Where the scalp shows a
tendency to dandruff this egg shampoo Is
cleansing:
Take the yok of one egg, one pint OF hot
rain water one ounce OF spirits OF rose
mary. Beat the mixture up thoroughly and
Use II warm, rubbing II we'll into the skin
of the scalp. Great attention must be paid
to rnsug the hair as the odor of egg is
most unpleasant should any be allowed to
remain on It. This shampoo can be used
whenever IL is necessary to wash the hair
For a person whose hair is much exposed
10 dusty winds, the simplest shampoo Is the
best This consists of a cake of CASTLE
soap shaved or cut into bits and boiled with
a quart of water until 1t forms a Jelly. Melt
with this a piece of boraX the size Of an
almond. Put this Jelly in Jars. Use freely
on the hair with plenty of warm water.
Brown hair that has lost its glossy look
IS most unbeSominG, but when that shiny
look is restored It needs nothing else to
enhance it's beauty. \ good bTilliantinC,
the kind to be found at a frst-ciass hair
dresser's IS usually recommended to make
tie hair glossy, but truth to tell there is
more reliable polish to be obtained from the
purCst OF olive oil Drop a very little of
tie oil on the palm Of tie hands and
smooth 1t over tie hair over the ends of
the hair particularly. Hair is made to

and IL is merely q matter of care in both
cases. When the March winds are blowing
furougy the cautious girl dons two face

shield her complexion from the effects Of
