NEW YORk-(Special Correspond
N ence)-The melancholy days hath
come? The saddest of the year?
| Won't your hair stay 'tached to your
scalp at all? Then to these plain
words give ear.
1t is a narrowing thing TO see the
hair 60. One visualizes herself as unto
the spare matched male person who
tries to make n surviving lock cover
q whole multitude Of deceased hair
glands. wearing wigs or transforma-
tions or remaining hated and break
fast capped for the rest Of her natural
history.
Which is all quite ridiculous. Far
hair, of all woman's beauty posses
sions, responds more quickly to safe
and sane treatment than any other.
And ] do not e~xaggerate IN saying 1T is
perhaps the most neglected feature of
all. Nowadays few women let n day
go BY without a thorough cleansing of
the face with cold cream; comparative
" few neglect the nails, the teeth, the
bath; fewer still refuse to study ways
and means to dress to enhance. And
yet night after night how many of the
so-called better halves forego the

ANYTHING in the world, as tonic, mas
sage, and cleanser. One cannot raise
q luxurious crop of hair nor attain a

poo only, any more than the skin could

ton with an occasional Saturday night
ablution.
Time for Good Resolutions
This being an excellent season for
good resolutions, since we are inclined
to hug the fireside a bit earlier, sup
pose you just lay the hair brush, all
| clean and shiny. out alongside the cold
cream jar and the toothbrush, and re-
solve that no descending sun shall see
its rightful work left undone.
Not SO very long ago a woman cor
respondent told me how with the hair
brush alone-the bristly side of it. too
she had made a different girl out of
| her young daughter. Her hair" she
said. was her despair until she began
| this morning and night brushing-five
minutes by the clock-and you
wouldn't believe what six months of
| that did for the girl
The result is the same with a small
| head or an adult one. There would be
A noticeable decrease in the sale of
hair tonics and in the business of pro-
fessional scalp massage if he brushing
practice were more general.
For Those Wanting That Sheen
WHY? Because it is the toilet of
| both scalp and hair; it cleans both. 1t
makes the hair smooth and glossy. and
it stimulates the scalp. Outside of
| conditions of general health, which if
of lowered resistance, reflect them
| selves Immediately in dry, lusterless,
and falling hair, there is not much
more you can do to promote hair
beauty.
Daily brushing, more than anything
else. tends to give that enviable sheen.
RI stimulates the sebaceous glands OF
| the scalp. distributes through the hair
the fat of these glands, and prevents
lack of luster from dryness- 1t fur
nishes most valuable mechanical stimu-
lotion TO the scalp. Hair specialists of
| medical persuasion go so far as TO say
! that brushing the scalp vigorously IS
| the best way to massage it. They urge
| Inc twice daily application of the hair
brush. continued for a few minutes un-
| iii the hair is smooth and glossy and
there is a feeling of lice in the scalp.
There are few scalps in captivity
which cannot stand q goou marc brush-
ing; those few should brush with an
implement of finer bristles. But exer-
| cising the head by battling with the
world seems to put us oil in a position
where we need not deal gently with
scalps. Half-hearted brushing is like
h~alfzhearted exercising; you have to
put no little "wim and wigor' into the
| operation. How else may one expect

every day? You have to let the brush
do it.
And it must be a clean brush-a
| point of vast importance--clse you lose
d step every time you put the used
brush back on to the scalp. Wash it
frequently with water and soap, drying
in the sun. and it is well TO ado q
little ammonia to the water. In addi-
ton, brushes frequently need steriliz-
ing, particularly if you are one OF those
