Care of the Hair.

Women who have tried changing the
color of their hair by a chemical
process often find themselves in the
position of the person who could re-
turn if he hadn't built too many fences
behind him Gladly would they return
to the indefinite brown, the plain blond
of their hair in its natural state, for
the least neglect in applying the
chemicals means streaked, unattractive
couture.
This return road must be slow
one, Travelled only by those who VIII
take time and care. Meanwhile the
traveller has the choice of embarrass-
ment or seclusion. Change will first
appear at the roots. where the hair
is growing out. The dyed or bleached
norton will retain the color given dur
ing treatment, will become dingy and
dead-looking, but if endured patiently
will eventually disappear.
Stimulating the growth of the hair
is the only way to hasten a return. The
treatment in case of dye or bleach is
the same-plenty Of brushing. plenty
of massage and generous application
of oil to the scalp.
Before retiring a night remove the
hairpins, shake the hair down and
stroke vigorously from scalp to ends
with long bristled brush at least
ten minutes.
Divide the hair into strands in brush
only a tonic made from one and a half
ounces Of cocoanut oil. two and a
quarter drains tincture nuX vomica,
one ounce Jamaica bay rum and twenty
drops oil Of berSamot. Massage the
scalp after the application. using the
finger tips and causing the scalp to
move over the skull Use "a small
amount of the tonic every day, and in
the morning brush the hair briskly, be-
ing careful to touch every part OF the
scalp.

CHEAP LINGERIE A DELUSION

THE DAILY CHIT-CHAT.

The girl who said that had just been
told that some one had remarked what a
wonderfully sweet disposition she had.
I quote her comment on the compliment
because I've heard other girls say the

the highest compliments any one can re-

had said that she was a wonderful mu-
stefan she, would doubtless have been
very happy.
She has been complmented on being
proficient in ia much more rarely mastered
art than music-the fine art of being good
to live with-and she thinks cheaply of
the compliment.
Aren't folks queer?
Listen, little girl and all your sisters
in the folly of this queer point of view.
Scorn if you will what l say, but l want
you to give ear to what some real folks
have said about the value of the sweet
disposition and the life-importance Of the
