How to Make Dry Shampoos
Sometimes Save Precious Time
By LUCREZIA BORI
The Famous Spa nish Prima Donna.

shake thoroughly until the loose
powder has fallen from it. Then
take a. 1ong-bristled brush and brush
both hair and scalp until not a par
ticle of the orris root or the corn
meal remains. Extreme care should
be taken to remove the powder, as
IT will clog the pores of the scalp
If allowed to remain in the hair.
Water shouldn't be used on the
hair after the dry shampoo, as it will
tend to make the hair stiff and alto
gether unattractive. This means.
of course. that no dampening of the
hair is wise if one intends to roll the
hair in curriers' after the emergency
shampoo"
Salt Rub and Massage.
If the hair is inclined to appear
lustreless and lifeless, an occasional
salt rub will stimulate the circuIa-
ton and renew the life and strength
OF the hair. 1t might be well to
follow the emergency bath with a salt
rub. The salt is rubbed upon the
scalp only, and can be readily re-
moved by a thorough brushing.
Always massage the scalp well after
cleansing the hair, even if you have
only five or ten minutes to devote TO
this treatment Place the thumb
firmly upon the scalp, using it as a
sort of anchor for the rest of the
hand. The scalp itself is then NOV
ed by the four outspread fingers
that is, the fingers aren't slipped over
the surface of the scalp, but they
move the scalp itself, loosening it. The
hair sometimes needs this very loose
ming to afford the proper circulation
of the blood and the consequent
punishment of the roots of the
hair.
These quick ways of cleansing the
hair are only for busy times. The
hair should be kept thoroughly clean
at all times, and a water shampoo
should be given when the hair be
comes heavy with oil and dust.
Don't get into the habit of substi-
tuting emergency shampoos for the
re 5lllar cleansing bath, The SCALP
should be kept as clean as any other
part of the body, and I don't agree
with those who believe frequent
washings are injurious.

PRINCESS DE CONT

The Princess de Cont was the
daughter of Louis XIV. and Louis Ar
Ia Va1liere. She married Louis Ar
mand de Bourbon, prince de Cont,
brother of the prince who was chosen
King of Poland. Louis Armand died
of the smallpox. The princess was
equally celebrated for her wit and won
derful beauty. Muley Ismael, king Of
Morocco, happening to see her por-
trait, fell in love with her and sent
an ambassador to demand her hand.
Another likeness of this princess in
spired the son of the viceroy of Lima
with a violent passion, and one of
these pictures having been lost in In
dia, was found by the natives who
worshipped it as the image of the
goddess Monas. The princess died
at the commencement of the
eighteenth century.

leisure, who spends at least an hour
daily in caring for her hair, finds it
hard to realize that there are many
Others who, sometimes, have to post
pone their regular shampoo because
they cannot take the time to wash
and thoroughly dry the hair.
A wet shampoo takes virtually the
whole afternoon The hair becomes
heavy, oily and unmanageabIe, and
one is at loss to know what to do.
Frequently the hair is washed too
near bedtime, and severe colds are
the result of going to bed with hair
insufhciently dried.
When there tsn't time for a SOAP
and-water shampoo give the hair
what Is called an emergency bath"
There are different methods of cleans
ing the hair without wetting It The
oil can be removed by wiping the
hair and scalp with a small velvet
sponge wet with bay rum or eau de
cologne. Separate the hair into
small strands and carefully cleanse
the scalp and then the hair itself. The
bay rum or cologne will evaporate.
removing the oil and dust almost in
stantly, leaving the hair light and
fluffy again.
COrnmeaI or Orrfs Root.
Another successful method of dry
shampooing' the hair is to apply corn
meal or powdered orris root. Fill a
talcum powder shaker with either of
these preparations and sprinkle it
thoroughly through the hair. Then
rub the scalp with the tips of your
fingers 50 the powder will have a
chance to absorb the oil.
After 20 minutes or a half-hour
separate the hair into sections and

NEW GINGHAM BnOUsEs

There is no diminution in the fash
ion for the outside blouse. They
have sashes instead of girdles, and
the fitness over the hips is taken in
at the side seams. The newest
material for these hdouses is bingham,
plaid or plain. A red and white
checked bingham outside blouse has a
short sash of Turkey red cotton. It
is worn with awhile jersey skirt.

HANG UP BATH MAT.

Hang your bath mat up when it is
not in use. Three little loops Of tape
one at each end Of one edge and the
third in the middle of the same edge
by which it can be hung on hooks on
the bathroom wall, will keep the mat
clean much longer than if allowed to
remain on the floor, will dry the mat
much more quickly and will keep it
from becoming wrinkled and worn.

poor condition for so serious an opera

With which she was ufferins, she was
In fine condition this afternoon.
