HOW TO RESTORE DYED
HAIR TO NATURAL COLOR

pure White soap, the first oil bath COM
ing after the hair is dry.
The brushing which follows at once
must be done with a brush having long
bristles that will go through the hair.
The stroke should begin at the forehead
and go down to the ends Of the hair
This is done as hard as II can be with
out causing irritation. At the end of
each stroke the hand must be laid on the
head and the hair by the forehead pushed
forward to loosen the strands. when an
other stroke is given. This is repeated
all over the head, always letting the hair
lie in the direction in which il naturally
grows. The work of brushing should take
at least ten minutes, and preferably fff-
teen.
By this time usually the hair is so
greasy it is unnanageable. almost, but
this need not he a serious objection now,
when much false hair is worm for
the natural locks may be pinned down
tight to the head and false pieces put on.
So soaked with oil must be the hair
during this treatment that washing once
in two weeks Will be necessary This
is to be done with Il plain white SOAP
putting no soda or DoraX in the water
If during this treatment the scalp is so
full of grease in the morning that the
pores are unable to take more, the appli-
cation. but not the brushing, may be
omitted for a day. Brushing is always
to be done at night, rs well as in the
morning. The method suggested Is not
altogether pleasant, but it is the most
eff1cacious / know, and will unquestion-
ably hasten the return OF the natural
color. MARGARET MIXTER.

One of my correspondents vino dyed
her hair and regretted it, and so let it re-
turn to the original color, has been at
| tracted by the printed woes of others who
have done the same and are trying to
restore the shade, and writes in detail OF
the sensible system of treatment which
she gave her hair to hasten its restora-
ton. This method ] will repeat here for
the benefit OF others who may need it.
She first warns those who have used
dyes against trying other chemicals, say
ing truly that almost any coloring matter
contains properties that produce red, and
that the foreign shade will thus be accen-
tuated.
1t is by the use Of cocoanut oil and
regular brushing that she achieved the
quickest results. For instance, every
morning her hair was brushed to remove
tangles and then cocoanut oil was rubbed
into the scalp. To do this the hair was
parted at frequent intervals, and into the
bare line the unguent applied. To re-
store color IL greater quantity should be
put on than were it merely for scalp
nourishment. Nothing will more quickly
bring back natural color than to supply
some of the natural oils that have been
absorbed by the dyes. Therefore the more
cocoanut oil, within reason, that woman
! puts on at a time, the better, but she
must he certain that 1t Is worked into her
/, scalp and Is not just clinging to the out

Care of the Hands.

Few persons are born with beautiful
hands. but many can improve theil
fingers by intelligent care. One can,
stretch fingers into such shape, but one
can hold the fingers in position so they
seem longer than they are This is done
simply by bending the fingers from the
palm knuckles instead of, as is common
from the middle joint To make the
break in line in the middle is to fore,
shorten, and stubby aspect cannot fail
but result.
So important is the correct use of the
joins for one who would have her hands
attractive that / consider such exercises
worth practiclng. These are to partially
close the hands by bending the palm
joint. the little and next finger being
slightly closer to the palm than arc the
next two. This will make the hand APP
pear slender by causing the width to be
slightly concea led. The last two fingers
are not really to be bent: it is more exact
to say that they droop little. the small
est one Just a. tlife more than the next.
The middle and forefnger are not al
lowed to stick out. They, too, have Il
slight droop, but so little is 1t that only
the fact they are not stiff attracts atten-
ton. The thumb must be Strengthened
and pushed up from the bottom joint,
causing 1t TO appear appreciably longer

when in repose It will be infinitely Nore
graceful than if its full width and short
ness are allowed to be in evidence.
To use the fingers gracefully Is mat
ter OF only little thought and practice.
objects should not be grasped by all OF
them. but by the first two and the thumb.
ANY object, except those especially heavy,
may be easily held in this way and the
slender illusion is not dispelled.
Moreover. 1t is not with the tips OF the
fingers. but half an inch from the ends,
that articles are grasped. 1t is impossible
to use the extreme tips without bending
the middle joints. and to avoid doing this
is the aim of one whose hands arc not
pretty.
It is a mistake to think that trimming
the nails to extreme points will give the
fingers an appearance OF slenderness at
the tips. To the contrary, il the digits are
broad this fact is emphasized by the con-
trast between the shape of the nails and
the flesh behind them. Nails must always
be trimmed with reference to the fingers.
and the same outline must be followed.
modifying it. of course. But only a, woman
with long slender fingers can afford to
have pointed nails: others, to look their
best. must content themselves with filing
in oval shape, pushing back the cuticle at
the base. but not cutting 1t. To do that
Is to thicken the skin.

TAXES WILL BE
HIGH This YEAR

Taxes will be high at Hood River
this year. The leVies which have been
announced for state, county, city
and for school purposes show that
Hood River property owners will be
compelled to pay a tax OF 55 mills or
in other words, 5l2 per cent. / he
proportion of the various levies is di.
vided as follows: State and county,
% mills, special school tax 20 mills,
city, III mills. The heavy school tax
which has been levied, it is stated, is
due to the low valuation at which
property outside Of the city is assess
ed. Land valued at from $1,000 to
$500 an acre being assessed tor 500
to $l25. The low assessment on val
ley property is also the cause to
much highCr than it would be il 1t
was assessed at it's proper valuation.

owing to the fact that the city is with
