ANSWERS TO QUERIES,

c. E D.: II you wish to make a
shampoo. shave up cupful of soap
in two quarts of cold water, preferably
soft water. and let it stand for TWEEN.
ty-four hours. when it is ready to use.
If your hair is very oily it is quite per.
missible to add tablespoonful of
laundry ammonia to the two quarts of
shampoo. or a teaspoonful of salts of
tartar. Either of these "soiteners" is
beneficial if used in small quantities,
but decidedly harmful when used in
too larSe proportion. Pomomher al
ways that you must be very thorough
in both the scrubbing and rinsing of
the hair. and three times for the suds.
ing ard rinsing is none too often.
Inquirer: A curling fluid which
works nicely in the winter often fails
entirely during the summer months.
This is because the air is heavy with
moisture in the hot weather and this
takes the curl cut of the hair quicker
than you can put 1t in. Have you
tried the fluid made from one dram
gum arabic. one dram sugar and two
ounces rosewater? It may prove bet.
ter than the one you have been using.
Crush the gum to a powder and put
1t, together with the sugar. in the
rosewater. and let stand till dissolved
and well blended Moisten the hair
with this fluid just before rolling it on
curriers'.
Vera: You can coax more round.
ness to your cheeks by giving them
gentle massage every morning with a
nourishing cream. Use plenty of cold
water after the massage, as that is a
good tonic. l doubt If the sage rem.
edy will prove cure for dandruff. and
l wish you would use the tonic I so
often recommended. am sure It will
relieve the condition of your scalp
and stop the hair from falling.
