To Make Your Hair
Soft, Bright and Fluffy
Fashion's Guide1

THE reason many women find 1t
difficult to arrange the couture pleas
ingly is because Of the too-free use Of
wet shampoos, which make hair dull,
brittle and 'stringy.'
lone. Of the most pleasing things with
which to cleanse the scalp Of impuri-
ties and keep the hair clean, fluffy and
silky, is ounces of either orrfs root or
corn meal and 4 ounces Of therox. Mix
together and sprinkle a tablespoonful on
the scalp, then, brush thoroughly
through the hair. This rids the hair
and scalp of dust and dandruff, and a
few times using tones the scalp and
hair roots, causing the hair to grow
soft, brilliant, and easy to manage.

In a Seventh street department store
