dries out the perspiration Of the
day and may be shaken or brushed |
off without difficulty.
The hair should be fastened in
two braids, be it much or little. |
These should be we'll over toward
the ears to allow the air to pene-
trate to the back Of the scalp. They
should be tied to prevent unbraid-
ING and snarling. Turning up at
the ends tends to cause the hair to
split.
Shampooing should, of course, be
more frequent than in winter and
the pins as well as the comb and
brush should have a bath. A tea
spoonful Of ammonia in tepid
water and nail brush are best for
this. Clean the comb thoroughly
between the teeth and dry the
brush in the sun with the bristles
downward to prevent the water
soaking in and loosening the back.
A little perfume added to the last
rinse water is good idea and the
scent fingers for some time.
To have the hair fluffy, it is cs-
sential that it be dry and free from
an excess of oil. Changing the
manner of wearing it is also CON
tributing factor which many over
look. Try it and see.
Uses for Paper in the Kitchen
Paper may be put to many uses
in the kitchen. All housewives un-
doubtedly know numerous ways to
which newspapers may be put and
the saving Of time and labor they
serve. Many, however, do not real
ize the uses to which paper other
than news may be put Wax paper
from cracker boxes and that which
may be purchased in squares is IN
valuable for wrapping sandwiches,
lining cake boxes and covering cake
plates to prevent the cakes stick
ing.
Thin MANILA paper is used to
line cake tins, and paper bags in
which supplies have been delivered
may be used to hold damp, recently
washed lettuce, parsley and celery
before putting in the ice chest.
These things keep much better and
NAV be handled more conveniently
than if kept in water.
Tissue paper and toweling may
be used for draining foods fried in
deep fat: for the bread board be-
fore turning out freshly baked
bread, biscuits, rolls, muffins, and
for wiping the hands during the
preparation Of a meal.
Large paper bags hung at a con-
ycnient place may serve as catch
alls for smaller bags too soiled or
torn for further use. The top may
be twisted or tied with a string,
when full, thus preventing their
blowing about and littcring up
street or yard.
Old newspapers cnt along the
first. second and third fold and
hung at the side of the kitchen
table. save much time and labor
when food is spilled on stove or
floor. They may be used for pack
inc the winter clothing for moths
do not care for newspapers.
Paper cartons in which break,
fast foods come, may be pressed
fiat and used as a rest for hot pots
, and pans. They may also be useC
,, to hold bits of paper, string, an6
other rubbish that collects in every
> kitchen. When full the lid should
: be fastened down tight and tieC
with bit Of string to prevent scat
tering about when the waste is pu
1 out for collection.
