BEST FOR THE HAIR
Simple Shampoo Mixtures That
 Can Do No Harm.
Soap Jelly Mixed With Eggs Is AL ways the Staple--Blonde Presses Frequently Require Special
 Treatment.

ueTe are almost as many formulas printed for shampoo mixtures as for face creams. Some of these are ex cellent, and others possess no special cleansing properties, while some are positively injurious and should never be experimented with. Here are few formulas selected from a long list, and we can select from them according to our special needs
 Three eggs lightly beaten with three tablespoons of warm water Rub the mixture into the hair and on the scalp, taking pains to cleanse quite as thoroughly as though you were using soap shampoo. More eggs can be used if necessary, but the proportion of water should be a tablespoon to each egg. If the odor of the eggs is unpleasant to you, little toilet water can be put in half pint of cold water and poured over the hair after the last rinsing.
 An egg shampoo with soap jelly is sometimes more satisfactory than eggs alone, and the general rule is to use
 
 egg, mixing them well; then fill a ba- sin with two quarts of hot water, hold the head over it and suds the hair well with the egg mixture, using the water from the basin to assist in the cleans ing; rinse in several waters and dry in the sun.
 For blonde hair the following is ad- vised: The whites of two eggs, four ounces of rose water, half ounce al- cohol and level teaspoonful of pow dered borax Rub into the hair as you would any other shampoo, cleansing both hair and scalp, and rinse well in several waters.
 A simple shampoo consists of half cup of olive oil soap, level teaspoon full of baking soda and a generous pint of hot water. Let stand till cold when it will be soft jelly. Wet the hair with the jelly.
 For very oily, dirty hair, take table spoon of green soap and dissolve it In one pint of hot water by constant stir ring. Add a half ounce of glycerine and an ounce of alcohol. This is ex- cellent where there is thick dandruff, as it Is very cleansing to the scalp.
 White hair is said to be greatly ben efitted by a shampoo composed of small cup of shaved white soap in one and half pints of boiling water, and when dissolved add half pint of bay rum, a teaspoonful powdered borax and 20 grains bisulphate of quinine Keep in a glass jar. A few drops of laundry bluing in the last rinse wa ter will help to prevent the yellow streaks which spoil many an other wise snowy crown of glory"
 No matter which shampoo mixture you select, remember that the secret of successful shampooing consists of thoroughness in the washing and in the rinsing also Three times for the sudsing are none too many and the last rinsing should be very moderate. If the washing and rinsing are proper ly done, the hair will be soft, glossy and quickly dried. Carelessness in the cleansing process is responsible when the hair is sticky, hard to dry and hard to comb.
 Artificial heat should not be used to dry the hair Sunshine and fresh air are best and the hair will retain it's health and vitality much longer if dried in the sun. A few moments brisk brushing is good, but the hair should never be pulled or the scalp irritated
