Homemade Shampoo and Simple Hair Brl lghteners

 differs so greatly that special treatment is necessary. What would prove very
 eff1cacious in one case might be the re- verse in another.
 A good homemade shampoo is the yolk Of new laid egg whisl<ed to a froth and mixed with one pint of rose mary tea. made by boiling one ounce of dried rosemary leaves in pint of wa

 it cool little before adding the egg or the latter will curdle. The hair should always be rinsed thoroughly in plenty of clear water, warm and then gradual ly colder-rainwater is best when it can
 be procured--and dried with hot towels and flaming. Hair that becomes very dry and brittle after the shampoo should have a little pure white vase line or cocoaaut oil or olive oil rubbed into the roots an hour or two before hand.
 A simple decoction for brightenfng fair hair is marigold tea. made from the fresh or dried pips of the ordinary
 narigold. One is still able to find here and there an old world herba1istss shop where dried narigold or rosemary and other simple home remedies may be
 obtained.
 Camomile tea is said to have the same effect, and either should be ap- Eplied with small sponge to the roots every night before brushing the hair. Preparations of henna are very useful for improving the color and brilliance of auburn, brown or chestnut hair and
 are obtainable in shampoo powders, To- ton and brilliantfne.
 Never use a stiff, harsh brush for fine
 hair. The best brushes are those with fine, long hogs bristles set well apart so that they can penetrate through to the scalp. Gentle but firm brushing every night is one of the best tonics for it stimulates the roots of the hair and promotes the natural oil on which 1 it is nourished.

or worked, but wore fine clothes and
adorned the street corners, and was
without money most Of the time. Both
wanted to marry the girl and she, al.
though strongly in favor Of style her
self, had a strong hankering after the
one with the steady job. So she de-
cided she would INVITE them both to
dinner, wait on them herself, and the
one who had the best manners she
would accept. Accordingly they came
to dinner.
She first waited on Jim. the hard
working negro, and said: Have
sugar and cream in your coffee. Mr..
Jim?" Cream only. If you please.
ma'am," replied Jim.
Then to the stylish sutton. Have
sugar and cream In your coffee, Mr..
