A PARTISAN SHAMPOO.

The washing of the hair is espec-
tally important now that the hair Is
worn fiat, and hair not properly
washed might just as we'll not be
washed at all. Partisan beauty doc
tors are using a hair washing paste,
the foundation of which is powdered
soap. You cover the powder with
boiling water, add some borax and
orris root with little sachet powder
Of your favorite scent, and you are
ready to begin. When it is all Of
bubble, you take it off the fire and
stir in some whole oatmeal. When it
cools it is ready for use; if very
high perfume is desired some oil of
rose geranium is added. You will
then have a jelly not very clear
because of the oatmeal and orris, but
smelling delightfully."-
When washing put the hair under
the hot water until the hair is hot
and dripping. This is the first rule:
Let the hair be water soaked before
you begin. In Paris they put your
head in a big silver-lined basin,
which the French woman does not
have to stoop over, she leans far
back and her head rests in silver
standard that is as comfortable as it
can be. The water is then show
cred on her head.
After the paste is thoroughly
worked in, the rinsing must be
begun. Many persons do not under
stand how difficult it is to rinse the
hair properly; the trouble is that the
individual hairs are coated with soap
and the water must be hot and used
with force to get the soap out. That
is the theory and secret of it.

WHY SHE LOST HER FIGURE.

At dinner party lately given in
Paris one lady was remarked above
all others for the elegance of her
figure and the perfection of her
toilet. During the mauvais quatre
d'heure before dinner she was sur
rounded by a host Of admirers, and
one less bashful than the rest vent
ured to offer her the flower from his
buttOnhole. 1t was accepted, but as
the princess robe" worn by the
graceful creature was laced behind,
it was necessary to fasten the flower
to the front of her dress with a pin.
The operation was successfully per-
formed, and the fair lady was led
into dinner by the donor of the
flower. They were hardly seated
when he heard a curious sound like
the gentle signing of the wind, and
on turning toward his partner he
saw with horror that the lovely fig
ure was getting "small by degrees
and beautifully less" The rounded
form had disappeared before the
soup was over, and long before the
first entree the once creaseless gar
ment hung III great folds about the
scraggy framework! 1t seems that
the newest dresses for "slight"
