hair seem dead, and the hair is falling
out in quantities, one of the best things
to stimulate the scalp and provoke a
growth of hair is the tincture of can
tharides.
Value Of Cantharides
Used in full strength, it would prob
ably blister most scalps To avoid this,
it should be diluted with water to half
or third of its strength 1t is not pos
sible to give definite directions, as the
tenderness of the scalp varies SO greatly
with different people, but it should be
used as strong as one can without bis
tering.
It should be applied to the roots of
the hair every day or every other day
according to the effect of the application.
If the scalp is very red and. irritatcd
one should wait before making another
application. 1t is better to use it in this
way by itself than to add it, as is SO
often done, to the hair tonics, for then
the strength can be regulated as we'll as
the length of time of its use.
Castor Oil
Castor oil is often recommended for
hair tones or incorporated in them 1t
is no better than the oily substances al
ready mentioned, and its odor makes it
unpleasant.
In those cases where the hair is fall
ing alarmingly, shaving the scalp is re-
sorted to, and undoubtedly with much
benefit The hair is shaved several times
or until marked improvement is shown
before it is allowed to grow again.
The annoyance of wig or wearing a
cap is very great; the head becomes
heated, and it is fact that the hair
should be exposed freely to the air.

There is prcjudiced idea that black

EN HE care of the hair is great
and important subject, since
the care varies with the indi-
- vidual The condition of the
hair is often an index to the health. Ii
it becomes thin, dry, and falls out, as, a
general thing the person needs a tonic,
the health is below par.
1t is said that the life of a hair is
from two to six years, and that one can
lose on an average fifty to sixty hairs
day. That l think is large number,
Anxiety in regard to the hair is aroused
when it commences to fall out. The
average man lives in terror of becoming
bald, fate that usually overtakes him,
A great German authority writing re-
Gently on the subject of badness, says
that it can be combatted successfully if
treatment is begun as soon as the hair
is seen to begin to fall
Preventing Badness
Frequent shampooing and rubbing
the head is the best preventive of bald
ness" He even recommends daily
shampooing with soap and hot water.
This is to be followed by an applica-
ton of one to one thousand solution Of
bichloride of mercury. When this
evaporates the scalp is rubbed with a
one to four hundred solution of thymol
or naphthol in alcohol, after which he
uses an ointment of one part of salicylic
acid, two of tincture of benzoin and
fifty of vaseline, which is rubbed into
the roots of the hair. In obstinate cases

Fringes, .assels and pendant orna-

used, are good. Satin-covered cord is
used in much the same manner as braid,
which it frequently replaces. What is

in quite another sense of the word, be
applied to most.attractive trimmings and

rather out of place in

Brushing the hair is of little benefit.
and sometimes is quite the contrary, as it
drags the hair out 1t is much better to
use the finger tips in the manner de-
scribed. 1t is supposed that badness is
due to microbes, which can be carried
from one head to another by means Of
combs, brushes and by the fingers of
those who make profession of giving
scalp massage All combs and brushes
should be kept scrupulously clean. One
should always take her own when going
to a hair-dresser.
Using Hair Tonics
What is good hair tonic? The selec-
ton of anything to be applied to the
scalp for the benefit of the hair requires
judgment. If the hair is oily and sticky
it does not need more grease, but rather
something of drying nature, such as
has a good deal of alcohol in it. The
quinine hair tonics are good for such
cases. If the hair is dry and feels dead
the crying need is grease.
Crude yellow vaseline is much used
for this purpose. A little is taken on the
finger and rubbed into the roots. This
prevents the mass of hair from getting
sticky. A g9od way to apply grease is
to use the oil cans used for sewing ma
chimes. The vaseline has to be made
thin by beating oil into it. Almond oil
or olive oil can be used for this purpose
Lanolin is also used for the roots of the
hair mixed with vaseline and oil. 1t is
too sticky to be used by itself
The long nozzle of the oil can makes
the application of the oily mixture to the
roots of the hair easier, as it can be in
PRODUCED to the scalp and the oil reaches
the roots without oiling the hair itself

coats, semi-htting and neatly tailored,
are by no means driven out by the
more elaborate models, with trimmings,
revers and even sashes This plain
coat has made a place of its own, even
in Paris, where it is known as the
American coat"

Harmony the Secret of Effectiveness
In gathering together the materials
for a gown, harmony, not contrast, is
the idea to bear in mind. While differ
ent tones of one color may be employed
to advantage, no second color enters
the composition this season, except in
tiniest touches in the trimmings. In
the matter of favorite colors, darker
shades have the preference, and black,

HAVANA, March ga fire broke
out on the Havana docks shortly aft
