every hour of the day and a great

She treats the hair by natural de-
vices so that It grows lighter with
out losing any OF its natural quail
ties.
Scientists say that In little while
there VIII be no blondes at all, and
hairdressers agree with them. Hair
pins may be necessary to woman, but
they are unquestionably running
the hair, says this hairdresser.
THE second source of injury to
the hair is found in the ornaments
that are stuck into 1t. Great fancy
combs with wide, wicked teeth are
prodded into the coiffure. Immense
bows Of ribbon are pinned on, leav-
Ing an ugly mark upon the scalp.
Then pins are thrust into the
hair and there are other trifles such
as wreaths of silvered flowers,
braided ribbons and jetted things,
with their tendency to tear the hair.
to say nothing of the nerve rack
Ing heavy tiara.
Trouble tightens the scalp and
Injuries the hair. Fear draws the
scalp so tight that the hair fairly
drops out.
Among poor women the hair
keeps its color much longer than
among the rich. A poor woman
does not twist her hair SO tightly,
nor does she put SO many hairpins
into 1t.
She seldom ties It with a string
next to the scalp, and it is not once
In a thousand times that she wears
hair ornament. The results are
obvious. Notice the heavy hair of
the working woman.
1T Is all because the hair is
treated In gentle manner. Neg
lected 1t may be, but its color is
there. 1t has not been rasped by
fancy pins and weighted by count
less ornaments.
II use henna tea a great deal
upon the heads of those with whom
1t will agree but all of these things
must be taken slowly and with mod
Grafton.
No one wash agrees with every
hair. In most cases IL acts all
right, but 1t turns an occasional wo-
man into blonde too pronounced
for beauty.
when woman's hair Is begin
ming to darken ! take five cents
worth OF henna and steep IL in u
sint of water. When 1t has boiled
down to a cupful l take 1t and
moisten her whole hair with 1t. AS
rule 1t brightens 1t considerably
without hurting her conscience, for
henna comes under the head OF
herbs.
Meanwhile / treat the roots to
keep the hair from getting darker or
from getting gray. There are varl-
Gus ways of treating the roots of the
hair.
"One of these ways call the
thimblecure. | have tried it with
success all over Europe and America.
THE thimble cure requires two
thimbles, pure gold or good silver.
Into one | put about ten drops of
good oil; sweet oil il all right, but
castor oil Is better.
Parting OF the hair / go over It
with my finger tips, which are dipped
into the oily thimble. make ten
drops do the whole head, so that
the hair is not oily afterward.
Then | massage 1t with the Thin
BILE. This requires that hair be
parted off and that the scalp be
tapped. 1t must be done very
gently.
Every hair culturist takes turn at
the complexion when II no longer
matches the hair.
"One woman had nice bright hair
after we got through with her, but
her skin was dull and the bright,
youthful looking hair made her look
like a mummy. So we put her upon
q diet.
I'VE gave her convent food 1t
Is what the nuns give their pupils to
make them strong and rosy and
pretty.
1T was a general diet In which
stewed rhubarb, apple sauce, raw
eggs, prunes and hash were con
spicuous. 1t was good, plain food.
The woman was commanded to eat
picture food also. Food good
enough to eat without being cooked.
Putting the hair around the
face makes the skinlook smoother
and pulling 1t down upon the fore
head makes the face look younger.
But woman must have nice COM
plexion also. We tell our patients
to eat spinach, lettuce and celery,
which are all complexion foods.
Hair culturists of to-day look
closely after the health OF their pa
tients, for nothing affects the hair
like Illness. If woman is under
the weather her hair will not curl.
IL she has fever 1t comes out; II
she is suffering from cold II loses
life and grows darker; and II she has
rheumatism the color pigment fades
entirely and she gets gray. SO 1t
Is easy to see how dependent the
hair Is upon the health.
