CARE OF THE HAIR

shampooing
You observe that our great German
authority recommends daily shampooing
Once month, most hair-dressers will
tell you. A better guide is the condi-
ton of the hair. If it becomes oily and
sticky, it should be shampooed at once
Most hair needs shampooing oftener
than four weeks. If the hair is dirty,
the hair follicles are stopped up, the
nourishment of the hair is impaired and
it will fall out The hair gets dirty the
same as garment. How quickly this
can occur is shown by white hair, which
has to be frequently washed to look
properly cared for.
The basis of most of the shampoos
recommended for the hair is an egg.
Some use only the white of the egg,
others claim that the yolk is better, as
its chemical constituents are especially
needed by the hair. The egg should be
beaten up in cupful of water, to which
has been added teaspoonful of green
soap and teaspoonful of alcohol or
cologne. This can be poured over the
hair and rubbed into the scalp with the
fingers
The Use of a Brush
1t is better yet to use brush which
comes for shatnpooing or toothbrush,
in default of one with longer hairs.

| two-thirds of an inch apart and scrub

" ilLNE COIIle times when II
seems necessary to concentrate
the mind on the fact that good
dressing is largely an individ-
ual matter. With any radical change in
style-outline (silhouette, the French
people aptly call it) it is we'll to con-
slider your fgure-take personal stock
account, as it were-realizing the good
lines which must be retained and any
undesirable features that may be dis
guised or improved. The beginning of
the spring season was beset with rumors
that were most disquieting, proclaiming
the vogue of the extreme and impossible.
1t really was not worth while to fret
over the matter, for good sense, like
truth, is mighty and must prevail. When
we are threatened with the loss of the
waist-line, the time for serious consid-
Grafton has come.
AS matter of fact, the spring styles
are cause for self-congratulation partly
because less material IS required in the
making, and the combinations of mate
rails afford the most satisfactory condi-
lions for remodeling. The vogue of the
separate coat is another feature that will
appeal for many reasons. The costume
with skirt and waist corresponding or
cut in princess, or united by the girdle
that makes the princess effect, appeals
especially strongly to the woman of ma
ture years, to whom the separate waist
always seemed lacking in dignity.

the scalp with the shampoo mixture.
This is good way to remove dandruff,
and the action Of the brush on the scalp
stimulates the circulation.
After having gone thus thoroughly
over the scalp, wash the ends of the
hair with the shampoo mixture and then
rinse the soap out of the hair thoroughly
with hot water, afterwards using colder
water. until at last it is quite cold. The
action of first the very hot water and
then the very cold is good to stimulate
the blood-vessels
Dry the hair as quickly and thoroughly
as possible, so as not to take cold. Dry
it near the register, heater or fire, and
hasten the process with hot towels, or
the use of pal1n-leaf fans
Massage
/ l am asked about massage of the scalp
and how one can apply it. While the
shampooing can be done by oneself, it
is much pleasanter to have it performed
by someone else. The same is true of
scalp massage; but then it will not be
done sufficiently often to be of much
practical benefit. If you do it every time
you comb your hair, you will obtain
some results from it. If you live in a
large city where such things are done,
it is we'll to take treatment or two in
order to better understand the process.
You should use the tips of the fingers,
the pulps, SO to speak, of each hand,
applying them first as close as possible
TO the scalp, then with a circular motion,
while still pressing firmly on the scalp,
go over the entire scalp, SO that the
blood will be brought to the roots of
the hair. Superficial rubbing does no
good, and is apt to rub the hair out by
the roots.
