CARE OF WHITE HAIR.
How 20 Treat IL and Preserve Its Color
by Simple Methods.

HOW TO Treat X and Preserve Its Color
by Simple Methods.
No kind OF harris prettier than the
white. but it is something OF a task to
keep white hair really white.
Dusty brushes soon make white hair
look rather muddy. The woman whose
hair is white needs to wash combs and
brushes every three or four DAYS.
White hair is more brittle than other
kinds, so II must be handled gently
no Juggling and no washes that are
too strong; also when being dried care
must be taken not to use too much
beat.
Though some white haired women
use ordinary shampoo mixtures with
impunity, they do SO at their peril.
Tor these shampoos are apt TO make
white hair ludicrously sfreaky. The
finest bath for Il is made by mixing
the whites OF two eggs lightly with n
tablespoonful OF warm water. This
egg shampoo may be rubbed into the
scalp. and the hair should be carefully
parted so that the scalp may be
reached. The long hair may be thor
oughly washed with 1t also. Then the
scalp and hair must be rinsed thor
oughly with lukewarm water. After
this rinse It I'm cold water. The best
water for white hair is that from the
spring or that which has been filtered.
The white haired woman should be
ware OF tonics for the hair and scalp.
Women with dark locks may safely
use these. but not she Of the snowy
tresses. With great care In the appli-
cation crude oil may be used once in
awhile. or the scalp may be rubbed
gently With n little white vaseline.
Any grease, however. must be kept of
the long hair; otherwise dust Will be
very quickly collected. and this viii
make the hair lose it's luster.
Shampooing white hair with lemon
is excellent treatment Put half the
cut lemon In n thin muslin cloth and
rub It over the scalp. first thoroughly
wetting the scnlp. a few drops OF
bluing In the rtnsing water will give
the much admired silvery CLINT TO white
hair.

In accomplishing this feat he won
the $4,000 prize for which he was
striving and demolished two records.
