Reliable Methods
of Beauty Culture

TO MAKE THE HAIR FLUFFY
The reason most women's hair fails
to retain its fluffy softness after
shampooing is due to the scalp not
being thoroughly cleansed. Soap,
eggs and ordinary shampoo mix
lures will not remove all dirt. The
woman who wants perfect sham
poo should try teaspoonful of
water, followed by proper rinsing.
This shampoo causes the hair to
dry very quickly without streak
ing and leaves the hair very bright
soft and easy to arrange.
FINE BEAUTY LOTION - No
modern discovery has proven such
boon to woman's good looks as a
lotion made by dissolving ounces
of spurmax in " pint of with hazel

very fine for improving a shiny,
complexion charmingly beautiful

William Faversham, who will
present his new play, 1.-THE
Faun," by Edward Knoblauch,
at the Tacoma tonight and
Wednesday, went to very great
trouble to achieve a realization
of the character he has been
called upon to impersonate. In
this play he is seen as faun,
one of the deities of the woods
and herds, which is represented
as being half human. This
faun in Mr.. Knoblauch's comedy
is first discovered bathing in a
fountain in the garden of Lon
don house. He is dressed up as
a human being and given an OPP
portunity to mix with the work
a-day world. The result of such
a unique dramatic contrivance
may be easily imagined. This
comedy, by the way, contains a
delightful love story and has
proven one of the dramatic nov
elites of the time.
