BEDTIME BEAUTY HINTS

II is to wake to a well-ordered room
rather than to one which bears all of
the confusion of the day before. Then
be sure that the bed is placed in such
a position that the early morning light

Now that the bedroom has been ar

as any cosmetics. The teeth come first
at bedtime, It is important that they be
thoroughly brushed and the mouth rinsed
with some antiseptic solution. DO not
fall into the habit of so many girls who
go to sleep within a box of chocolates
under the pillow; this Is ruination to
the teeth as well as the digestion. The
face should be well washed in warm
water, not only will one sleep more
soundly, but the pores must have a
chance to breathe In the fresh air as
well as the lungs If the complexion is
to be kept clear.
When ready for bed take up some
simple little story that leads entirely
out of the daily routine for a few mo-
.ments. 1t will relax the tired brain.

get the beauty sleep. Ten O'Clock Is not
too early for any girl to retire; If she
is doing much mental work or has
fatigued herself to the point of nervous
exhaustion, then s o'clock or a half hour
later should be her bedtime until she
recover her vitality. There is no doubt
that the term beauty deep rests on
a sure foundation. Many doctors as
sert that the sleep before midnight Is
really more healthful and adds more
to the beauty han any amount taken in
other periods of the twenty-four hours.

When a little thought at bedtime can
add so materially to ones beauty and
charm 1t is a wonder that more girls
do not consider this in their quest for
good looks. In the first place the bed
room must be well aired II one wishes
to arise clear-eyed and refreshed; a mere
window thrown open is not all that is
required; a draft must be created to
continually freshen the air. If there is
only one window in the room ventilation
may still approach the ideal. Drop the
upper sash a few inches and raise the
lower three or four A thin strip OF
wood or a piece of cardboard six or

and hold them in place with two large
shell pins.
Still another method Is to part the
hair on the side and arrange 1t in three
coils, one at the nape of the neck and
one at each side.
I advise you to vary the style of dress

change is good FOR the health of the
hair.

fifteen minutes night and morning you

In order to prevent the short hairs from

your hair and then pin them back Sc

Many people fail to derive the full bene-
fit from a tonic owing to their Ignorance
of the proper way to apply 1t. me mar
should be parted with a comb and the
tonic applied directly to the scalp. Inc
PARTS should be close together In order
that the tonic may be distributed. over
the entire head. After applying the tonic
massage the head for fifteen minutes.
To do this place the fingers CLOSELY
against the scalp, bend the knuckies so
that the fingers remain stationary but tine
scalp moves. Continue this all over the
head until a distinct sensation of glow is
felt. The hair is not tangled by tnis
movement as the fingers do not rub 1t.
Give the hair 100 strokes with a good
stiff brush night and morning. BE sure
to put the brush underneath the hair m
draw It away from the head in order that
all parts may be ventilated.
Be very careful about the care of your
brushes and combs. Not only should they
be washed frequently but they should be
kept under cover except when In use, so
that they will not collect the dust and
dirt from the air and transfer 1t to the
scalp.
An egg shampoo once every four or SIX
weeks may prove beneficial. Beat two
eggs until they are frothy. Massage them
well into the scalp, let them remain on
for ten or fifteen mute and then rinse
the hair thoroughly, first in lukewarm
and then in cold water.
Finally, remember that the hair reflects
the general physical condition of the
body. If insufficient nourishment is
taken all parts of the organism, even
the glands which feed the roots Of the
hair, will suffer.
