est evoked by her history and tradi
tons.

To begin with, II your hair is dry,
harsh. given to letting unlovely wisps
of uneven lengths stick out round
your face. and at the nape OF your
neck, do not shampoo too frequently.
Instead, shake equal parts of powdered
orris root and cornmeal into it once
a week, and then, with a soft, flne in
fants' brush, take 1t all out again.
Some women use merely dry starch
and are satisfied when they see the

brush each OF the six strands into

use bronze or gold invisible hairpins.
Curl the recalcitrant locks and then
skewer them to the longer and more
solid masses with these pins.
OF course, II you have to make a
hasty toilet curling irons must be re-
sorted to. But a soft piece OF old
muslin, or a kid curler-these are OF
various qualities. and the more ex-
pensive are many times worth the DIFF
ference in price-will produce more
natural curl and one that stays in
longer. Some people are able to keep
these straying wisps in pretty curls
merely by steaming them. Others
dampen their fingers just before they
begin to dress in the morning and
twist their little bits OF hair round
and round the dampened fingers. leav-
