Rub the scalp very gently, but thoroughly un- til the particles of the meal have taken up the surplus oil and dust, then roll the hair between the palms of the hands, being careful to move the hands always from the scalp downward. Shake out the meal from from the hair, taking one strand at 3. time, brushing with a clean, soft brush from roots to ends. If prop erly done the hair should be left soft and fluffy and in a. manner that is easy to cecomingly dress.
 In cases of white hair greater care must be exercised. for if any of the preparation should be left on the scalp it may have a tendency to turn it yellow.
 Occasionally it might be well to use a liquid massage as follows, which will be cleansing and stimulating at

We are all familiar with the adage
 "One mans food is another mans
 poison," and this same principle ap-
 plies most strongly to the matter in sham pooing the hair. One says it
 should be washed once a. week. an
 oalrer once a month, and so on. How
 ever, there can be no fixed rule as to
 the frequency of the shampoo, as it depends entirely upon individual conditions and, above all, upon the
 thoroughness with which the dust is
 brushed from the hair. With light brushing each day it may be kept | moderately clean, but the foreign particles of dirt and dust if allowed to collect will undoubtedly stop up the hair follicles and may even cause l irritation of the scalp. Therefore, the more thoroughly the hair is ! brushed the less shampooing it will | need.
 1 A great deal also depends upon l the atmosphere. If one lives where it l is smoky it affects the scalp and the l hair should be washed quite frequent l ly. A good rule to follow Is that 1 whenever the hair looks stringy or oily. chngs to the scalp and looks dusty and dull, it should be cleansed, 1 but it is not always necessary to shampoo it with soap and water. The benefits of an occasional dry shampoo are well known to many, but for those who have neglected this most important feature of the toilet the following instructions will no doubt prove most helpful.
 l Between the regular shampoos, the hair should be well shaken and the scalp ventilated, in the sunshine if
 possible, to invigorate the roots and
 make it more fluffy Shake it loose
 and then wipe down the hair shafts
 with a soft, clean towel (not one that has a tendency. to shed lint). Then | brush thoroughly, finishing with a
 piece Of soft velvet or plush

the same time. To two parts of witch hazel add one part of cologne. Apply
 with a clean sponge and massage the scalp thoroughly for ten minutes. Aft erward have a good brushing and, if possible, expose the loose hair to the rays of the sun for a few minutes. In any event do not dress the hair until it is thoroughly dry.
 By using these two treatments many shampoos can be dispensed with, for most scalps cannot afford to lose the amount of natural oil that is extracted as a result of too freqIssnt shampooing-
 A becoming coiffure is readily eN- ecuted after such treatments. The hair will not be so soft that it is unmanageable, as is so often the case with the soap and water sham | poos, and at the same time it will | look fresh and well.
