KEEP YOUR HAIR
IN GOOD CONDITION

Hair condition depends very much
on the state OF the general health
though luxurious hair is often hcrcdi-
tary in families. as is Il tendency to
early grayness. Fair. line hair is much
more delicate than dark and requires
very careful treatment. especially NJ
ter an illness. which has II most try
ing effect upon fair tresscs. When
the hair splits at the ends, becomes
thin. poor and faded, II disease Of the
folliclcs. induced by microbes Is In
Dictated. and unless a remedy is found
absolute badness may result.
In a severe case of the kind an OK
pert should he consulted without de-
lay, for hair differs so greatly that
special treatment is necessary; what
would prove very cnicacious in ionc
case might be the reverse In another.
ShampOOs.
a good homemade shampoo is the
yolk of "A new-laid egg whisked to a
froth and mixed with one pint OF rose
mary tea. made by boiling one ounce
of dried rosemary leaves in Il pint OF
water for ten minutes. Strain this
and let II cool a little before adding the
egg. or the latter will curdlc. The hair
should always be rinscd thoroughly
in plenty OF clear water. warm and
then gradually coldcr-rain water is
best whcn il can be procurcd--and
dried with hot towels and tanning.
liair that becomes very dry and brit
tie after the shampoo should have
little pure white vasclinc or cocoanut
oil or olive oil rubbed into the roots
an hour or two beforehand.
Harmless 'BriEhtencrs."
y simple dccoction for Frightening
fair hair is marigold tea, made from
the fresh or dried pipsj of the ordinary
English maripold. "la belle jeune
ncur," William Morris designated
ii. Camomilc tea is said to have the
same effect, and either should be APP
piled with II small sponge to the roots
every night before brushing the hair.
Preparations of henna are very useful
for improving the color and brillianco
OF auburn. brown or chestnut hair. and
arc obtainablc in shampoo powders,
lotion and brilliantine.
The Hest Brush.
Never use a stir. harsh brush for
fine hair The best brushes are those
with fine. long hogs bristlcs set we'll
apart, so that they can penetrate
through to the scalp. Gentle but firm
brushing every night is one of the
best tones. for 1t stimulates the roots
OF the hair and promotes the natural
oil on which IL is nourished. Toward
the end of the operation few drops
OF some good brilliantine may be
rubbed on the brush (but 1t Is not
necessary and finally the hair should
be FURNISHED with q soft silk handker-
chief.
