HAIR INJURED BY SALT

Grease and Thorough Shampooing
and Massage Are Most
Beneficial Agents.

First an application of grease and
then most thorough shampooing and
massaging are the two agents most
beneficial for restoring color and tex
ture to hair that has been injured by
salt water. Unfortunately the treat
ment is not unlike that given when
effort is being made TO restore color
after bleaching, for in both cases the
condition is similar Natural oils Of
the scalp have been dried, and it is
many weeks before they are brought
back to normal.
When salt water is the cause of in

doing anything else, to remove all the
sickness which sea water makes. Its
effect upon the hair is very peculiar,

difficult. Soap cannot he Used. 1t only
makes a bad matter worse, so there

half ounces of white vaseline, three

castor OIL seven eighths of 4 dram of
gallo acid and fifteen drops of laven-
der oil. This Is made into smooth
paste, and the hair is divided on the
scalp, rubbing the applicatin in thc

The expression The Upper Ten"
seems to have originated with Ma
thaniel p Willis, the American poet
and writer on varied subjects, In a
contribution on Necessity for a
Promenade Drive" Willis wrote; AT
present there is no distinction among
the upper ten thousand OF the city"
The idea seems to have impressed
James Fenimore Cooper. for in his
The Ways of the Hour, published in
1850, he says: Those families. you
know. are our upper crust--not upper
ten thousand" The Same Idea is to
be found in Thomas G. Halliburton s

connected with the paper. AS prose
writer of ease and elegance, Willis
was justly admired, He was an OBJ

However, his writings were occasion

affected Gallicisms in writing for eff
feet by overstated simple truths, and
he made merchandise of facts and
opinions that he cleaned in private
intercourse.
These last transgressions eventually
led to quarrels and personal encoun-
