of capsicum, two drains of nux vo-
mica, three-quarters of an ounce of
cocoa oil and two and a half ounces
of cologne. If the hair happens to be
heavy with natural grease, one more
likely to agree is made from half an
ounce of alcoholic tincture of can
tharides, three-quarters of an ounce
each of spirits of rosemary, glycer-
inc and aromatic vinegar, with an
ounce and half of rosewater.
The hair should be combed and
brushed thoroughly, not only flat to
the head, but putting the brush I'M
derneath and drawing the hair loose
and free, SO that all parts are venti-
lated. Each stroke must begin on the
scalp so the tips of the bristles are
felt.
This done, the tresses should be di-
vided into two sections, one-half pin
ned so that it will not get in the way
when the other half is treated. Then
some tonic should be poured into
saucer and applied with a soft tooth
brush. The hair is again parted not
more than an inch from the middle
and with the little brush the scalp
line is wet Another division not
more than an inch away is made
that line wet and the hair laid over,
repeating the partings and applica-
tionS until the entire scalp has been
treated. This done, massag ing should
begin A final brushing is given, and
the hair loosely braided for the night

% Your hair should be brushed
thoroughly every morning and night,
and washed every three weeks. To
massage it nightly with a tonic will
aid in lettering the condition of the
scalp. The following is a tonic which
many find good: Quinine sulphate,
twenty grains; tincture of cantha-
rides, two fluid drains; alcohol, two
fluid ounces; glycerine. two ounces;
bay rum, two fluid ounces; rosewater.
sixteen fluid ounces. The quinine
should be dissolved in the alcoholic
liquids, then the other ingredients
added, and the whole filtered. Rub
the solution into the roots of the hair.
After the treatment the hair should
be braided loosely.
CD Pay no attention to the names
and don't let them hurt your feelings.
Almost every one has been called by
isagreeable nicknames during some
period of his life When you and the
boys grow older they will not be SO
rude.
