The Swedish Shampoo.

Some of the terrorS of shampoo are
dissipated now that the Swedish meth
ed of dry shampooing used exclusively
i'll that country for many years, is COM
ing into practice here.
With the Swedish system there are
no wet tresses, no danger of taking cold,
but there is such thorough manipula-
ton and massage of the scalp that the
circulation is wonderfully stimulated.
The first part of the treatment is Wig
orous combing. This is done with a
kind of curry comb, consisting of a
piece of leather, studded with short,
flexible metal teeth, slanting sufficient
scalp. This comb is brought firmly
through the hair again and again,
removing all dust and dandruff'
from the scalp. Next the hair
is parted and an absorbent powder
shaken in whose mission is to cleanse
the hair and keep it dry and fluffy
Then comes the brushing, and this is
most thoroughly done, every little
strand being held up and freed of its
dust and dandruff,, and brushed glossy
and clean. A Russian hogs hair brush
with natural bristles is used. Some
times tonic is rubbed in. But the
main thing i. the manipulation of the
scalp and the use of the cleaning pow
der, which is said to take the place of
soap and water.

A Lady's Costume in 1709.

The frOcks now Oh view at the Lon

seem dowdy in comparison with the
wardrobe of an early eighteenth centu-
ury society woman.
An advertisement appearing in a l 709
newspaper enumerated the following
garments, which had been stolen: ga
black silk petticoat, with red and
white calico border, cherry colored
stays, trimmed with blue and silver;
red and dove-colored damask gown,
fiowered with large trees; a yellow satin
apron, trimmed with white Persian,
muslin headcloths, with crowfoot edg-
ing; double ruffies, with fine edging; a
black silk furbelow scarf, and aspotted
hood"
The only item that probably will not
appeal to the envy of the women of
today in this fascinating list is the
''crowfoot edging." For crows feet
have rather a sinister significant for
the modern woman.
