Hair, Health and Happiness.
| Nothing 80 glorifes the woman,
4 young or old, as lovely hair.
u just in the proportion that It's tex

| selves as part Of her personal attrac.
| tiveness, viii she register as beauti-
| full, Hair well groomed and becom-
4 ingly arranged Ii the one paramount
essential in a woman's charm. She may
display shiny, nnpowdered nose or
hands bit rougllened by neglect, she
may wear a dress of last seasons vim
tage or shoes in sad need of a polish,
and yet get by.
But dull, lifeIess, 1stringy" hair, I'M
tidity slapped together with loose ends
flying. or hair wound hastily into a
tight knob that not even the most
perfect features can endure without
! a. -
| ty deficiency. for which the most metic-
i ulous pains in the preparation Of any
other item in the toilet will not com
pensate.
Time expended upon the care Of the
hair is Il woman's best beauty invest
ment. says Womans World for Feb
ruary. Only the occasional woman,
particularly when she has passed her
thirties. il possessed of hair so blessed
" abundant, with so natural gloss
and CLINT and so graceful of selfor
dering that she can dismiss all thought
Of It after giving it shampoo at GER
tain intervals aud a quick twist into
becoming coiffurc to dress il.
The hair of the average woman who
is approaching middle age requires
more attention than that, but there is
no good reason why she cannot meet
the most critical scrutiny with pretty
hair IL she will take the time and use
the good sense necessary to acquire ii.
The erratie, inhuman treatment that
the majority Of women give their hair
-zealously brushing II hundred
strokes one night in sudden fit Of
concern over itsl ifelessness, crimping X
with careless fervor the next night,
then totally negIecting it and tumbling
into bed with il tangled the next night,
is enough to drive the normally best
looking hair into obstreperous behs
vior.
The hair demands regular. systemat
ic attention, and when the most eifec |
tive method OF caring for ones own |
has been hit upon it should be rigidly !
adhered to.
The traditional hundred strokes"
are held by some authorities to be an /
oyerestimation in hair brushing. A
dozen or two from strokes each night, |
the hair parted from forehead 10 nape /
OF the neck and the stroke directed
downward from the parting, will re-
move dust and dirt and quicken the
sealp's circulation. A single bristle
brush with an air cushion, pliable and
elastic, and comb Of good ivory or
hard rubber with teeth smooth and
blunt, should be used. II is intolerable
that any brush and comb be used by
other than their owners, and both
should have frequent scrubbings in am
monia water and be dried, the brush
bristles down, in the air, not in the
sun.
If curling irons are used carefully
and at heat which viii not burn the
hair, they can be safely employed, il
not too frequently. Kid or steel curl
srs are safe II te hair is not twisted
200 tightly about them. An occa
.ional twisting OF the hair into strands
md clipping of the protruding ends :
will give new life to splitting hair. ID
Hair should be shampooed according 4
o its kind and to the presence or alb
ence of dirt and smoke in ones To-
atty. Oily hair needs the fortnightly 4
hampoo. Dry hair, unless il be so 4
llond of tint as 10 show traces OF dis
oloration more frequently needs only
he monthly shampoo in the average
ot-iity. Vigorous. careful, systematic
will often prevent falling
