TREATMENT OF GRAY HAIR
Above All Things. It Should Never Be
Dyed-May Easily Be Made Beau
tifui Adjournment.

Don't dye gray hair. It is never
ending, messy job to keep it touched
up, for most hair grows about an inch
month; and worse, or best of all,
the deception rarely deceives anyone.
The lines that care and experience
and thought have written into every
mature face require the softening eff
feet of the silver tones above it. Dyed
hair has a hardening effect on some
faces, and to others it gives an almost
cruel look.
But once having accepted gray hair,
make of it your greatest beauty. 1t
must be kept spotlessly clean, washed
often. Use only tho best and purest
liquid soap, as free from alkah as pos
sible, and treat it as the laundress
does her fine linen Put it through
many rinsings to get rid of every par
tiele of soap, the last one being quite
cool and deep blue with indigo. Let
the hair rest in this for few min
utes. moving it about in the bath SO
as to absorb as much of the bIuing as
possible, and then dry It thoroughly
with warm towels and vigorous rub
bing. The bluing serves to soften the
dulled, lifeless look which always re-
suits from washing gray hair and
gives uniformity of shading. Streaked
locks in gray hair are its worst fea-
ture, and especially is this true of
blond gray hair.

OF course, a double line of stamping
is necessary in order to do the cut

the doubles lines make bridges. This
is done by taking long stitch from
one line across to the opposite one
