Dermatoogists say that too ire quent shampooing is injurious to the hair. Once a month is quite oft en enough, unless your hair is very oily. You will find wetting the scalp with salt water, in the pro portion of a teaspoonful to a pint of water, very good to prevent profuse precipitation of the head. Rubbing the hair occasionally with damp towel before brushing will cleanse it from dust and, if done two or three times a week, it will not be necessary to shampoo so frequently

father comes in strong, too. My

of us as anything but her little boys,
and as we grew taller and moro
worldly we acquired the usual boyish
sense of exalted Importance and
might have been led to secretly pat
ronize her strict goodness as little
old-fashioned. except for father.
Father saw the force of appealing
to US as man to man. long before
there was much man in us, guess.
