THE HAIR
How To Preserve
It's Beauty
In Winter
BY LUCILLE DAUDET.

~ HERE Is no season harder upon
the hair than winter, for worn-.
ans crowning glory requires
warmth and sunshine for health and
! beauty. The crop which has seemed
so lovely In the dog days will begin to
dull with November, aud by Febru-
ary-when the freezing weather has
chilled the delicate plant TO its roots
all prettiness will be gone unless
milady has taken care to Offset the
damage with all the precautions in
her power.
lt is impossible 60 take too much
pains TO preserve the beauty of the
hair in winter, for cold, sharp winds
and clogged pores are forever getting
in their work OF destruction. The
growth is arrested, the hair broken
off aud the scalp, upon which every
thing depends, becomes tight and
stiff. To overcome the bad effects OF
all this, daily massage is needed, the
hair must be carefully washed once
month at least and should occa-
sionally be treated TO a hot-air bath
and to n day OF from hair pinA
| cages, rats, etc.
The hot-air bath may be taken In
tho kitchen, where, however, a largo
| saucepan VI uOllluk Wdlol must Lo
kept on the stove to prevent the hair
| from becoming too dry. Shake ell the
! locks down and walk about this
warm room or sit there for several
hours with the hair flowing. This
dollhouse treatment, II indulged in
once week, and especially when ac-
companled by massage, Will be .zn-
mediately beneficial, for thepslightly
moist heat opens the scalp pores and
permits the necessary fiowaof anewgoiL.
There is a way, too, to rteke tho
water shampoo so, as to.nake It en-
tirely helpful or distinctly the re-
verse. The head which is washed
with cheap soap and imperfectly
dried will show harsh hair, and to
sensitive olfactories there will be q
sour or musty odor, which itself IN
an indication of unhygienic condi-
tions. No soap should be used upon
the hair which is not sufficiently dell-
cate to go upon the face and hands.
and the more quickly and completely
the harris dried the surer will be
its chances for gloss and softness. IL
Yis owing to tho fact that, many wom-
en- let their hair drip dry, instead OF
clearing II OF all moisture with warm
towels, that tho shampoo Is 30 often
unsatisfactory. When this careless
ness Is permitted in the winter, when
the very elements are conspired
against hair health and prettiness.
the danger is twofold.
The proper way to dry the hair is
TO begin Immediately after the last
rinsing and by squeezing the running
water out first with the hands. The
locks may be slightly twisted TO fa-
cilitate this elimination of the su-
perfuous drip, but not tightly.enough
to break the hairs. AS soon as the
first wetness has been disposed OF it
Is time to come to the towels, which
should be sufficiently numerous. and
made quite hot either by putting
them in the ovensor by warming them
over the heater, or the radiator. Dry
the scalp first, changing the towels
! as fast as they become damp. and
using the fingers through them like

the scalp after the other until thf
} head has been covered. When tbs
: hair has been fairly we'll dried IN
= this way near the roots, the locks
: may be lifted In light punches and

} the folds. of the towel. Never rub up
