Air Baths.
AIR baths are delightful and tonic
affairs FOR the hair But don't think
this necessarily means sun baths. sun
baths are not especially good for the
ha'r in summer. In winter. To be sure.
YOU can benefit the hair by sitting
sometimes with IL, hanging over your
shoulders in sunny window In
summer however, the sun is all too
likely 10 fade the hair. and FOR that
reason the hair should he protected
against its burning rays whenever pos
sibIs. But nevert heIess the air is good
for the hair, as Won can easily prove to
yourself by noting the Improvement IN
your hair. II YOU are able To 60 most
OF the time without hat after a time
when YOU have had to spend most of
your days in hat at Red cross work.
when a tight veil takes the place OF a
hat at charitable and patriotic gath
ertngs, as a motor driver for patriotic
work and in various other occupations
that made such a busy spring for many
women. To he sure. the veil Of the Red
Cross worker Is not harmful 70 the
hair. Cor Il does let the air circuIa te
through It. bur still when the hours N
the Red Cross veil are added 70 many

by the way. you know that in London
little false fronts are sold for nurses

o. SOFT hair may frame the face The
Veil is worn by English girls differently
than K is worn by American girls. and
they felt the need for this lit of cam
outage. The French woman wears the
Red Cross veil to show a little Of her
own hair. The mddle-ag woman
wears it rather far back on her head
but the young girl pulls Il down over
the forehead, as we DO. but like rs
again pulls the hair with il. and alsc
puffs bit Of hair neatly over the ears
Worn in this way the veil is most be
coming.
That is a long way from badness
unless one facetiously thinks that veil:
might sometime take the place Of false
hair If we all became bald
At all events quite apart from al
Righteousness, we all ought TO look Il
the health Of our hair. remembering
that in verify much Of a woman's love
liness depends upon her crownine
glory.
