BEAUTY HINTS

You'll be wearing your hat more
than ever now, since the air is chill,
so your hair must have extra care If
it's to be the lovely, soft, glossy
looking hair you want 1t to be.
Unless your scalp in itself is very
oily. a brisk rubbing every night
with a small quantity of vaseltue
on ycur fingers will help a great
deal. Part your hair so that your
fingers are right on the scalp and
then rub with a circular movement.
This tones up the hair, gives 1t a
certain life as 1t were and brings out
the natural lights.
Unless there is some particular
reason for a soiled condition, hair
should not be washed more than
once a month and the more simple
the shampoo the better the results.
An egg shampoo is excellent for
oily hair. Beat the egg well and
add a spoonful of powdered borax.
Put this in a quart of warm water
and beat the whole mixture well.
Then rub it thoroughly into the
scalp. ..
With the next water use a light
suds of white soap and then rinse
through several waters until every
bit Of the egg and oap are out of
the hair.
A soft shaving brush is an aid n
washing the hair. 1t rubs the cleans
err we'll in and produces a fine lather
with very little effort.

How can the j~ust-average girl, not
a musical genius or qualified by face
or form for a silver screen career
how can the ordinary girl achieve
this wholesome attitude toward life
and love?
Only by motional control.
A baby learns by imitation.
Any desiring to emergs
from infantile indulgence in cutie
tricks, can accomplish most by dotnG
as the baby does. She can acquire
emotional control by initiating good
models.
There are many such models. Tbs
movies are open books from which
everybody learns.
Girls now copy their manners from
the screen, and too often select
samples of conduct as grotesque as
some OF their c~oiffures.
BY a perverse fate. they initiate
the actress who beats a tattoo with
her heels to betray mental agony.
Just so does primitive woman.
But the screen shows finer types
heroines who can take a knockout
blow from life without a whimper or
a gesture.
Such repression. IL initiated will
help any girl TO master her fate and
to captain her soul.
Only by repression of the primf.
tive impulses can n acquire emo
tional control and convert love into
a driving force.
