A JENNA SHAMPOO.
By EDNA KENT FORBES

The fancy packets of henna sham poo powder which are for sale in most shops can be made at home at much less expense and with no trou- ble at alL Of course, the little packets are not very coctIy but again it is a question of knowing exactly what you are using. A splendid henna shampoo powder is made as follows:
 Purchase 1 ounce of powdered Egyptian henna and 3 ounces of powdered castillo soap and mix them together. If you like a perfume a little sachet powder can be added or a few drops of perfumed oil. How ever, always feel that the most deli cate perfume for the hair is that of perfect hygienfc cleanliness
 This mixture is enough for any number of shampoos. You use as much for each shampoo as a large tablespoon will hold. This amount is added to pint of hot water and whisked about little until it is dis solved. Then wet the hair and the head with the hot water and rub the scalp thoroughly until you have work ed up a big father. Continue to work this father over the scalp and through the hair for about ten minutes, then rinse thoroughly with hot water. Rinse again with hot water, then cooler, then still cooler and end by pouring cola water through the hair. The most necessary thing to remem- Der in shampooing is to rinse the hair i sufficiently. Few people do this, and ! the result is that some of the old dirt and oil sticks to the hair and it comes i lustre.
 This type of shampoo will not i change the color of the hair in any way. Henna used like this merely gives an added gloss and richness of color.

 the only way to get rid of these blem

 ate enough of other kinds of food t balance the diet. This excessiv
