The Hair s Beauty
By Lima Cavalieri,
The Most Famous Living Beauty.

A MONG the bits Of advice that
"A can least afford to miss
4 = the opportunity of passing
on to other women are those that
have to do with the hair. 1t really
matters very little whether your
hair is golden yellow, black, brown
or gray, curly or straight; the thing
that counts is the texture and the
care that you give it.
Therefore, it is worth spending
a great deal of time to keep your
hair in good condition. The woman
who wants to keep her hair parted,
but finds this manner unbecoming
because the roots Of the hair are
darker than the ends will welcome
this treatment:
Shampoo the hair at least once a
week. Use the juice of two lemons
in quart of water for the shampoo.
Occasionally you can substitute for
the lemon juice a tablespoonful of
ammonia. Rub this we'll into the
roots when washing the hair.
The best way to make deadlock
ing brown hair rich and glossy is to
upbuild ones general health. The
hair and teeth are generally safe
barometers Of the vitality. Take
the wholesome tonics of plenty of
fresh air. daily exercise out of
doors. simple, nourishing food, and
your hair will share your vigor.

For an ordinary shampoo, no one
could ask for anything better or
more satisfactory than the follow
ing: Water, one cupful one egg.
tincture of green soap, one tea
spoonful; cologne, one teaspoonful.
Mix thoroughly and rub we'll into
the scalp.
To my mind the best method OF
stimulating the hair is by massag-
ing the scalp every day and by Wig
orous and faithful brushing. To
get rid of dandruff without making
the hair either oily or dry, first
give the scalp frequent shampoos.
Every other day, or even daily, is
not too often for a week or two, II
the case be an obstinate one. After
shampooing and on other nights
rub carefully into the scalp tea
spoonful or more of the following:
Bay rum, 21a ounces; olive oil, u
ounce; tincture of cantharides, -
ounce.
Sometimes after a serious illness,
or after too frequent shampoos,
ones hair becomes very dry. For
such condition the best thing to
do Is to massage we'll into the roots
every night before retiring the fol-
lowing: Oil of sweet almonds, Is

The Ideal Kitchen
By Mrs. Christine Frederick,
The DISTINGUISHED Authority on Household Efficiency.

take up too much space. Then,
too, closed shelves keep clean no
better than open ones. Indeed, 1t
seems to be the experience that
open shelves where utensils are ar.
ranged neatly and in definite order
and place are usually cleaner and
more orderly than the closed closet
where everything may be thrown
in pell-mell and where inspection
does not penetrate SO often.
Many women seem to resent
having things hung up in plain
view, but prefer everything laid
away in drawers. But the really
efficient workshop has the most
commonly used tools arranged
where they can be picked up
quickly instead OF being poked
away in cupboards or drawers.
Some women have the wrong ideal
and want their kitchen to look
more like a parlor than what it
should look like, namely, q true
workshop.
In some future kitchen we hope
to find all the shelves graded in
depth according to the articles
which they hold. For instance,
shelves will be ten or twelve
inches in depth for large plates and
dishes, eight inches for sauce
dishes and bowls and six inches
for glasses and all canned or pack
aged foods. This will prevent the
waste Of effort involved in reaching
behind the first row of articles to
get at those in the rear.
Now that the war is over and
building again permissible, many
kitchens could be easily recon-
structed with a small expenditure
for carpenters work and lumber.
Possibly a couple of shelves d.
rectly over the table will give all
the benefits Of kitchen cabinet.
Another set over the stove for hold
ing pots and pans will save count
less steps in going to the pantry
for every pot and skillet. Small
blocks Of wood may be put under
the feet of the table, the stove or
other working surface to raise 1t to
the proper height.
1t is safe to say that not one
architect in ten who ever designed
his man-made kitchen would stay
in that kitchen one week and wash
the dishes.
While we fight for laws enforcing
sufficient ventilation and light in
factory buildings, we do not think
to insist on similar conditions in
our homes.
AS warm weather approaches the

- INCE the kitchen is the work
shop of the home, where wo-
- men spend 80 per cent of their
time, it cannot be said too often
that it should be arranged in the
most workmanlike manner.
Even though we have talked
about efficiency for a long time we
cannot repeat too often the princi-
pies which make the kitchen an
easy place to work in. The main
equipment should be so arranged
that the worker moves from one
piece to another with the least pos.
sible motion.
The sink and the table should
never be adjacent, because we
never take foods from the stove to
lay in the sink or vice versa. What
should always be next the stove is
the preparing table, so that as the
worker mixes or beats or prepares
she may then take the prepared
food and at once place it on the
stove or cooking surface. Prefer
ably the stove should be to the
right of the table, since most work
ers are right-handed.
The sink and the dishwashing
equipment form an entirely differ
ent set or unit. There should be
second table or else a drain surface
to the right Of the sink large
enough to hold the stack Of soiled
dishes. This should always be to
the right of the sink.
On the left there should be a
drain to hold the clean dishes when
washed; This arrangement per-
mits the quickest right to left
movement, with no waste motion.
Again Net us mention the right
height of sink. The average sink
is from five to eight inches too low
for convenient work. Any woman
can easily find out what height her
sink should be by standing in front
of a table and piling up books I'M
der a dishpan until she finds the
exact height which allows her the
most comfort for work. 1t is an
easy step to measure this height
from the floor and to use it as a
basis for the setting or resetting of
the sink. If woman does her own
work 1t will certainly we'll repay
the few dollars cost to have the
sink raised to exactly suit her own
height.
1t is the authors personal belief
that no closets in the kitchen
should be fitted with doors, but
that instead open shelves should
be used. The main trouble with
the closed closet is that the doors
when opened out into the room

Rhubarb Pie.

TOOK Q cups Of diced rhubarb
~ with 2-3 cup sugar until thick.
Add tablespoon corn starch, dis
solved in 1-3 cup cold water, and
stir constantly until clear. Add 1
teaspoon melted butter. If single
crust is desired, invert pie plate
and cover 1t with plain pastry, al
lowing a little margin for shrink
ing. Pierce the top several times
with a fork and bake in rather
quick oven until golden brown.
Remove from pan and place inside
the pan. Fill with the cooked rhu-
barb. Pile meringue lightly on top
and brown in a slow oven. A few
raisins or little grated cocoanut
or bit of orange Juice may be
added to give variety to the pie.
The rhubarb mixture is often
placed between 2 crusts OF plain
pastry and then baked.

ventilating of the kitchen will
make all the difference between a
satisfied worker and one who hates
her job. Every kitchen window
should open from the top and there
should be cross ventilation between
windows and the opposite doors,
transom or other windows.
Possibly ten-cent investment in
cup-hooks will do more to make
the kitchen efficient than any SIM
liar outlay. Everything that can
possibly be hung up should have a
separate hook. BY screwing a cup
hook into the handle of the dish
mop, sink brush, ETC., these articles
can be kept clean and in place.
Knives, as we have SO often said,
had better be slipped into leather

Xy7HAT do you think of bath.
Wv ing the flesh in hot vine

c. A. y
1t was once quite fad at one OF
the best known European watering
places to wrap the fatty portions of
the body in white muslin or linen
cloths that had been boiled in Vine
gar. The cloths were applied as
hot as they could be endured.
When cool they were replaced by
others similarly treated and this
was continued for twenty minutes.
Some faddists advised taking this
treatment three times a dag, hut I
should not like to use 1t so often
because Of its somewhat too ener.
waiting effect.
TAM afraid shall have to resort
l to face steaming" to get rid
of my wrinkles. Do you advise
this?-MRS. J. D.
A good massage with cold cream
every night before retiring will be
far more effective than a steam
BATH" which is a very unsatisfac-
tory method for banishing wrinkles.
For the short period Of some elab-
crate dinner. steamed face will
appear plump and pretty, because
of the local reaction, but in the
morning you will find four wrinkles
have grown where there was only
one before. Excessive steaming
weakens the secretory functions
and takes out all the natural oil,
leaving the skin dry and coarse.

keepers find 1t worth while to write
down the sizes of the cans of GER
tain brands of goods which they
bly,, how many people they serve
and other details. We must not for
get also the filing cookbook which
contains recipes on separate cards,
and which makes cooking SO much
more interesting as we'll as exact.
II this Spring the housekeeper
will look at her kitchen as if it
were that of some one else, 1t will
help her to see its faults and make
a plan to arrange it for the greater
efficiency. Let her try to be her

think of it as a professional job
worthy of her best efforts.
