HAIR DRESSING FOR
THE SMALL DAUGHTER
Little Girl of Today Has Quite as
Much Attention for Her Hair a.
Does Her Mother.

Hair dressing for the little girl be-
tween the ages of four and fourteen
has become an art. Tightly plastered
locks and starched pigtails belong 70
the child Of the past. Miss Up-to-Date,
with clear complexion and rosy
cheeks, has her face set in the softest
frame Of fluffy t~resses. and her
mother has no small task to keep
them light and glossy.
In the first place. the care Of the
hair itself has developed into a duty
OF no small magnitude. When a
child's scalp Is healthy, the hair
should be washed once a week with
pure CASTLE soap and luke-warm wa
ter. This gives II the loose, FLUFFY look
hat Is so essential. The best ana
quickest method of s~hampooing Is 10
shave a small piece of the soap into
very hot water and allow it to become
/ thoroughly dissolved. Temper the
water gradually until II does not burn
the back Of the wrist. Then, with the
aid of "a soft nail brush, which Is kept
expressly for the purpose, II Is only
a matter Of five or ten minutes work
for the mother to cleanse the scalp
and hair.
Whatever the age of the child, this
simple shampoo Is most effectual'
Care should be taken, however, that
the hair and scalp are thoroughly dried
, using plenty OF dry towels and ian
ming vigorously at the end. To prev

putting her to bed.
should the scalp show any signs OF
dandruff or If It is naturally day, a re-
liable tonic should be applied regu-
larry and the weekly shampoo con-
tinued as above. About the safest
tonic is Newbro's Herpicide. eeaus II
contains no lead, sulphur or copper
and il will destroy dandrnft germs.
BoraN or ammonia should be dill
gently avoided in these frequent
washings If the hair is to be permit
ted to grow long and luXuriant, as
they dry out an natural secfetions.
As patent as This shampooing pro-
cess may seem, It Is unquesttdhably
the secret OF the extremely pretty hair
of the little girl of today and lays the
foundation for beautiful silkcn tresses
when she grows to w~omanhood.
In the matter of the daily dressing
Of the hair, mothers have 70 end of
little girl cOiffures from which TO
choose. For the child with perfectly.
straight locks, the Russian style, cut
short and bobbing around the ears
and neck. has long been a general Ia
voritc. Practical and comfortable as
il un~questionably is. the n objection
to il Il the extremely boyish look
which Il gives.
The latter is relieved somewhat by
a slight pompadour effected by part
ing the hair on either side of h head
az the front and tying the intervening
locks at the left of h head. or for
the very young child the hair Is
parted on a perfectly straight line with
the nose. Several strands on either
side OF the forehead are caught each
in a small bunchy bow Of soft ribbon.
This style OF hair dressing Is becom-
ing only to a child with rare low
brow.
The particular charm In either OF
these rather severe styles. lies In the
freshness and brightness OF the bow
OF bows that set them on. The mod
ern little girl has to ave hair ribbons
galore and a fancy basket kept es-
pecialiv for them Is the only means
BY which they can be preserved with
any kind OF smoothness. Even then
they must be folded over The fingers
every time they are taken off, and
the same ribbon should not be worn
ofener than twice a week. With cons
