HAIR IN
SUMNER

HN summer, when one Is living
much in the open, the hair is apt
70 fan out more readily than at
n any other season of the year.
Dust is tho cause of most OF this trib-
ulation. for the dust OF the present day
is not the harmless dust Of old time
roads. 1t is laden with filth and oil
from roads Travelled by hundreds OF
automobiles and comes IN thick clouds
instead Of thinly. as from a carriage.
I refer particularly 10 the woman who
lives an outdoor life aid particularly
she who motors during the summer
and early fall months In order to see
Just how much dust can accumulate in
the hair in a day of automobiling take
a perfectly clean brush and after a
few strokes rub the brush well with
Turkish towel. Each place where the
fingers hold the towel will be defined
with black srnudges. and by the time
the head has been entirely brushed the
towel will be streaked with CRIME from
end % end. The harm to the hair with
this sticky dust forming a veritabie
paste at the roots can be imagined.
Daily brushings are not enough 20
combat the dust. There should be a
shampoo given every ten days with
soft water and pure soap. When the
hair is perfectly dry a good tonic
should be rubbed into the scalp. one
without any greasy properties, for that
would mean a foundation for the next
batch Of dust to adhere to. After the
tonic is on the hair should again dry
out entirely, a sun bath being given II
possible.
Blond hair has TO be washed more
frequently than darkshair for the sake
OF its color. as It soils as easily S
chiffon with dust and grit. To Is
beauty the smoke and cinders of a
trip by train are fatal and a shampoo
should be given as soon as possible at
the end of the journey. Dark hair, as
It does not show the effects of travel
stain as easily. stands In far greater
danger Of injury. and the harm done
when the accumulation Of Crime is
not noticed Is incalculable.
Too much sun is bad for hair OF any
color 1t not only dries out all the
natural oil, but bleaches and coarsens
fair hair to an effect Of old rope or
straw and gives q curious rusty ap-
pearance to dark hair
Salt water has the same effect be-
sides often rotting the roots OF the
hair. this last calamity occurring when
the hair IS dried In the sun on the
beach. II the hair when bathing gets
wet AMI is dried before returning 10
the house it should as soon as posi-
BILE be washed out IN fresh water. a
tonic should be rubbed into the roots
and the drying should be done with q
fan and rubbing by hand. The scalp
too, should be thoroughly massaget
and the hair brushed we'll when dry
This starts a good circulation. which Il
verH necessary for healthy hair.

The woes OF the short woman, too, /
be she stout or thin. have really only
begun when she attempts to buy a
ready made suit, for everything seems /

be altered without spelling the lines.
Here Is a hint that is worth while re-
calling when buying ready made suits
The simpler garments with vertical
lines are the ones that can be most
easily adapted TO the needs OF the short
woman. The checked gown illustrated

WE have all OF us heard OF girls
