CARE OF THE HAIR
DRESSING MY tADY'S" TREssEs ] AN ACKNOWLEDGED ART.
Careful Manlcurlng and Brushing Are ! Vital to Proper Appearance [ Check May Be Put on Signs of Age.

. ! Dressing the hair today is more of an art than 1t has been for some sea sons past, the arrangement of waves, puffs, and curls reminding one some what of Gainsboro r.ctures. Speak ing of curls. was there ever such a riot of them seen before? The droop- ing mushroom and fiaring Cloche hat require curls in abundance to fill in their generous curves. in greater abundance, in fact, than nature is willing to supply, and art must of necessity come to the rescue. Well, luckily, one can buy curls of all shades, singly or in clusters and wreaths, little tight ones and big fat ones. and no head need go unadorned. 50 are those crisped and snaky golden Which make such wantoQ gambols with Upon supposed fairness often known

 said Shakespeare. and like most of his comments on human nature and customs 1t Is just as true to-day as when he uttered it.
 Waved hair still remains the mode, and there are number of pretty ways in which a becoming undulation may be arranged. The Marcel at present is possible only in the hands of the expert, but a number of simple devices are sold on which the hair may be done at night for a pretty wave next day.
 While waves are modish, 1t is smooth, shining ones that are smart est. Glossy hair is the mark of the well groomed woman as much as care full manicuring. and the gloss is only obtainable with care and patience. Shampooing with the best of sham poo soaps or liquid preparations is the first step toward obtaining this fash ionable gloss, little oil being rubbed into the scalp after the shampoo if the hair seems too dry. If you will use a little oil on the scalp as directed you will never be obliged to complain that you washed your hair yesterday and just can't do thing with it. Hair oils, brilliantines, etc, impart soft ness and the sheen of satin to my lady's" tresses and are always quite harmless If not distinctly beneficial. Many of the best hair tonics and dandruff cures also produce a wonder full shine and pliability.
 Unless one's hair is very short and thin and easily managed it is a mis- take to attempt to shampoo it at home, as so much better results are obtained at. beauty parlors or baths, where thorough cleansing is as- sured and every possible mechanical aid at hand for careful drying and un- tangling. Brushing Is. as every one knows, highly beneficial to the hair, and should not be neglected night and morning. Electrical treatments are also excellent for stimulating growth and curbing a tendency to come out. These have been known to produce re- suits where everything else seemed to have failed.
 Scalp foods, tonics. and electrical treatments with scientific care of the scalp will often, if the matter Is taken in time. check turning gray and re- store to the hair roots that vigor which produces a natural color. "An ounce of prevention Is worth a pound of cure" however. and anyone who desires to retain their youth should begin the care of hair and complexion before youth has begun to wane.
