Your Personal Appearance
How to Take Care of Your Hair in Summer
BY MADAME MILLEFLEURS

Almost the first thing girl
finds out after she returns from
her vacation is that her hair is in
bad order. If she has been at the
sea shore it is streaked and sun
burned and often she will find
dandruff on her scalp and that
the ends of the hair are split.
Unless you want to coarsen and
streak your hair to make 1t brit
tie and unruly, don't go without
hat in the hot sun for any
length of time, and don't let the
salt water get to your hair il you
go sea bathing.
During the hot weather the
heads of most girls perspire very
freely in summer and unless the
hair is loosened at night thor
oughly and aired and brushed
and dried 1t will get ''sour and
smelly" Give your hair an air.
ing every day and wash your
hair about once every two weeks
in summer. and If you find that
it is becoming stringy and has an
odor rub the scalp up and down
each strand of hair with alcohol.
Make shampoo of CASTLE soap
and water and rub your head and
hair all over with it. RINSE
WELL. making sure that every bit
Of soap is out. Go through this
operation three times and you
will find your hair perfectly clean
and odorless.

different meals and pack them
separately, so il the party is tired
and critical, everything will be
fresh and appetising when the
last meal Is served. Have the main
meal at noon and provide dainty
supper for the evening. Pack
individually in waxed
paper, use paper table cloths, nap
skins and dishes, take plenty Of
folding drinking cups and see that
each member is supplied with the
needed cutlery. Such meals can
be packed in different pasteboard
boxes, securely wrapped in paper
and marked with the contents.
Cord or wooden handles should be
attached, in this way each person
can be made responsible for one
box and the burden of carrying
the lunch is divided.
~ FOR DINNER
I Cold meats or chicken in some
form, buttered biscuits, potato
chips or salad, cake or tarts, fruit,

He once went to the kings
palace in England, and greeted
the prime minister without par

question, Flows the king this

nation, too. He hobnobs with
the plainest as well as royalty,
