time can do that-but it will materially
hasten the process
When sun or chemicals have faded
the color and inevitably dried the scalp,
q good application to use is beef mar
row pomade, made by mixing a gill OF
strained marrow with tablespoonful
of olive oil
The marrow is easily obtained by
buying beef bones containing 1t, and
scraping 1t into a small saucepan TO
melt, but not get hot. 1t is then strain
ed and the oil added 1t may be per-
fumed, if desired, and twenty drops OF
tincture of benzoin may be stirred in to
preserve it. Persons who object to this
as being too greasy will prefer another,
made of an ounce of pure olive oil, hat
an ounce of cologne, one-fourth ounce
of gum benZoin and four ounces or
alcohol. The benZoin is dissolved in the
alcohol and the other ingredients added
After straining through coarse paper OF
muslin, two ounces of castor Oil ana
half a dram each of oils of geranium
and bergamot are added. This should
be shaken before using. l consider II
particularly good. AS far as the beer
marrow pomade is concerned 1t Will not
grease the hair any more than the Otner
will if parts close together are made on
the scalp and the tonic is rubbed on
carefully with the finger tips, which is
ln1eGO
piled, except that with very thin ones
a small sponge or brush may be sub
stituted. With all the object is to
saturate the scalp, but not the long
hair. No nourishment is given in the
latter way any more than merely wet
ting leaves will nourish plants.
Added to either of the tonlcs sug-
gested brilliantine may be used Tempo
rarily to give lugter and polish before
treatment has restored it. The polisher,
as it may be called, is made from one
half ounce of honey, strained, quar-
ter ounce eoch of glycerine and cologne
and an ounce of alcohol. The mix
ture must be made smooth, and 70 use
the surface of the hair must be slightly
moistened in the morning. Too much
will cause a sticky effect.
Tonlcs Must Be Used Regularly
With these tonics ready for use
woman who comes back to town In the
late summer should set herself to work
for the improvement of her hair, quite
as much as she does to make her gown
pretty.
When retiring fifteen minutes at least
should be consumed in brushing and
massaging.
Bearing in mind to have stiff
brush to aid in stimulating the glands
and a coarse tooth comb. she should
first take out all tangles. To do this
she must not pull, for that breaks the
hair; but must work gently, always be-
low. not above the knots. This will
draw apart interviewer hairs and
smooth without pulling them out This
done, many divisions of the hair must
be made, rubbing the tonic into each
line of the scalp. Very awkward tnlS
is at first and 1t is always better to
have another person do 1t, but II there
is no assistant 1t must not be neglected.
This finished, begin massaging, giving
especial heed to that section above the
temples where the hair Is likely to
grow thin This done, brushing again
is desirable, but not until the pores OF
the scalp have been made to absorb all
the tonic.
Everyone knows that the ideal way
of keeping the hair at night is to leave
1t free, but this Is rarely comfortable.
So loose braiding is excellent, for It
confines 1t without giving any pull to
the scalp, which thus has some venti-
lation.
II is a mistake to pin the hair to the
head for the night, because then the
scalp gets no rest and practically no
air.
tonic may be omitted, using instead the
brilliantine, first giving vigorous
and massage If there is time.
1t is not to be thought that a week
of this treatment will make a woman's
hair magnificent. In so short time as
that no change will be noticed, but in
a month a great improvement will be
and In two months the
hair may be really beautiful. If at any
time during that interval it seems to
be getting greasy, the tonic may be
omitted for few days. Shampoolng
must not be done oftener than once a
month, or the scalp dryness cannot be
versome.-Margaret Mixter.
