in some good tonic; then it is ready for
the waving.
The tonic not only makes the hair easier
to handle while getting 1t ready to wave.
but is what its name implies.
With this part OF the hair held back
In one hand the comb is run slowly
through the hair and "combful is pull
ed loose and allowed to fall in a wave to
whichever side 1t seems to show a natural
inclination. This tendency should always
be remembered and the procedure never
reversed. With the forefinger of the other
hand hold the wave fiat against the fore
head, releasing the comb. and with the
latter bring forward another wave, turn
ing in the opposite direction.
The second finger should be slipped
down over the second wave to hold IL in
place, and the process continued until
three or four waves have been formed !:
then each row should be pinned down
fat against the head, using great NUM-
ber Of very small wire hairpins.
II desired, one or two more waves may
be added to the top. though usually four
are suf1cient to make q wavy pompadour.
Next. the side hair Is taken up end first
the right and then the left treated In the
same manner. each wave held carefully
in place and then pinned fiat Tie a
soft old veil over the pinned down hair
and keep II on until the hair is thoroughly
dried; an hour usually suffices. though
sometimes 1t Is advisable to leave the
pins In longer when possible.

The trick Is all in handling the comb
and in getting the hair to fall in even
waves. but with patient practice you can
attain the desired effect.
Another way Of making the hair dry
and fluffy and keeping It in curl during
warm and damp weather Is to do the
hair UP In a particular manner after Arst
moistening well with the white OF an
egg. The white Of one egg Is stirred slight
ly, but not beaten or separated In any
way. This liquid is then diluted with q
little water. or rose water. One-third 40
much water as white OF egg are the pro-
portions, and this should be kept I'm q
small, wide-mouthed jar upon ice. IL pos

until IL is all used.
At night the hair that Is to be waved
is parted from the back hair and the
latter rolled up out of the way. Moissen

each strand around the curler. twist II
round and round tightly. then roll IL
round and round the curler. Ii is the
first twisting before wrapping II around
the curler that makes the peculiar fuffi-
ness that is so much desired. The wrap
ping IL around the curler makes IL wave.
and the egg wash causes II to retain the
fiuffiness The curl given by this method
is most natural. but IL the fiuffiness Is not
desired. plain wave may be made by

er, omitting the twisting described. This
wave ought to last for two or three
weeks.
Another and most unusual method OF
waving hair is to braid as tightly as a
strong mans fingers can draw IL. thick
cord being plated in with each strand to
keep ii immovably I'm place. The braid
should then be dropped into boiling water.
allowed to dry in its braided form. and
then thoroughly pressed with an iron as
hot as can be without scorching. The re-
suit is wave that will remain until plac-
ed in water.
