Ccntale of care attached to the scalp
and the hair.
Yes, the charming Miss Katherine,
voted by artist and layman the most
beautiful girl in the world, has her own
little hair troubles, even as you and !.
It's Marcelled Frequently.
To begin with, her hair is Of that
extremely fine texture that requires
more attention BY reason Of it's sikh
ness. It is not of great length, com
ing a little below the shoulder blades,
but growing quite %abundantly from out
her scalp. 1t is quite without natural
curl, much to the besuty's great sor-
row, for therein lies most of her trou-
bles of couture. She has to have it
marcelled frequently, as the curl re-
mains not so long as if the hair were a
bit more wiry or coarse.
Her picture work naturally calls for
a well coiffed head whether she hap
pens to be suspended from a collapsing
bridge or playing hostess at an after
loon tea. Consequently, more frequent
application of the iron is necessary
than were another vocation chosen by
her. And this, Miss Macdonald ap-
preciates, has to be offset with more
brushings and more critical general
care.
Another items of hair discomfort the
motion picture actress encounters is
the intense heat under which the stu
do pictures are taken. / was amazed

continuous heat has on the scalp and
hair.
But Miss Macdonald puts a power
full lot of faith in the hair brush as a
ZONE back for the damaging effects of
the iron and light. She brushes it
morning and night, and if she has to
comb her hair q second or third time
during the day she gives it an addi-
tional brushing before it goes up.
Shampoo Every Friday.
Every Friday morning for years she
Aas had the hairdresser come to her
home and give her a shampoo. Until
che was q fully grown young woman
she washed her hair at home. She
claims the only shampoos and marcels
given her away from home were on the
few occasions she was forced to do so
when travelling.

rinsings are INDUCED in, then a spray
ing with lukewarm water is given, and
q FINAL rinse in a weak solution of
white vinegar. This, she believes, pro-
vides fluffiness and luster.
The final rinse with every fourth
shampoo is of 9 different nature. Miss
MacDonald's hairdresser buys henna
leaves in wholesale quantity. a handful
of which she adds to a big pail of wa
ter, sleeps it so that the liquid has no
red or brown cast to it but an ivory
color which does not affect the color
of the hair. Respecting her hairdress-
er's claim, Miss Macdonald believes it
preserves the natural tone of her hair,
and is healthy. Henna, when bought
wisely in leaves containing no mineral
dyes. is healthful, but would better be |
left to the use of an expert, for it
there are too many leaves added to the
water it is apt to entirely change the
color of the hair.
Hair Rubbed Dry.
The frequent brushing and shampoos
leave Miss MacDonald's scalp free
from dandruff trouble. except in the
normal amount which the average
healthy head may be subjected to now
and then.

have a machine to dry my hair" said
Miss Macdonald. AS a consequence.

its being rubbed dry after a prelimin-

She messages my scalp until the hair
is perfectly dry. which is equivalent to
one complete and consistently regular
scalp massage every week.
When we have an opportunity to let
the sun help, we betake ourselves to

Miss MacDonald's hair is classed as
blonde, but is of that difficult to de-
scribe shade, neither silver blonde nor
light brown-something in between. a
soft lovely shade with which her eyes
and skin and c~oloring blend perfectly.
