large sums of money on shampoo

ments. Often they do more harm than
good. This is largely due to lack of
skill, lack Of personal interest and
even lack of intelligence on the part
Of the one who does the work There
are skilled hair dressers and efficient
scalp doctors, but one usually dis

receive than in the benefit she is
paid to bestow. Such a person can
usually be relied upon to produce i'm

sire Of the patron. She win make the
hair glossy, fluffy, light or dark,
round curled or waved, but. she is
apt to be quite without conscience
and often without knowledge as to
the means and materials by which
various effects are produced.
Therefore, advise the average
woman Of modest income to be her
own beauty doctor. Shampoo the
hair when it is necessary. Use soft
water If possible. A little salt in the
water is good. A nom alkaline soap
should be used. When the weather
permits, it is always best to dry the
hair in the sunshine. Light hair is al
ways prettiest when fluffy. Dark hair
should be glossy and smooth, unless

until it becomes, in general, very UNI

a little olive oil-just a very little
rubbed into the scalp each night with
the tips Of the fingers. Dandruff
should never be permitted to form.
The scalp pores must be kept open
and circulation stimulated.
Worry and anxiety viii do more to
destroy the beauty Of the hair IN a

cultivate in Tany weeks. A bad state
of nerves will cause the hair to .lrosp
and often TO fall out. And here we
are back at the only firm founda-
