Five Points in Hair Culture.

There is no denying the fact that in
order to have pretty hair one must
give it regular care. 1t will soon be-
come dull, stringy and unmanageable
if 1t is neglected. This applies as much
to naturally curly or permanently waved
hair as to straight hair.
During my years of experience with
hair problems I have found that there
are five factors, one or more of which
is the cause of the common hair
troubles. These are excessive dandruff.
oiliness, dryness, premature fading, and
falling hair.
All these five factors are equally I'M
portant, but will begin by mentioning
one that is very prolific cause of un-
beautiful hair. This is incorrect sham
pooing. Errors in shampooing include
the use of strong soaps, failure to rinse
thoroughly and rapid drying. Too fire.
quent use of the shampoo robs the hair
of its natural oil, making it brittle and
streaked. Failure to wash the hair
often enough makes it look dull and
encourages the appearance of dandruf
scalp infection and vermin. Very oily
hair should be shampooed once week,
but the average head of hair needs
Washing only TWICE I1OIlLu.
Another thing that robs milady's hair
of its natural beauty is failure to brush
and comb it thoroughly every day
There is no other way to keep it glossy
and manageable. Scalp massage should
also be included in the daily care of
the hair, because it stimulates its growth
and keeps the dandruff from caking on
the scalp.
A third enemy that sooner or later
destroys the beauty of the hair is too
much curling. The use of hot irons
several times week makes the hair
brittle, so that the ends split and break
off. The color of the hair also is often
affected by the heat. Dark hair may
take on rusty. reddish hue, while fair
or white hair becomes streaked. Put
ting the hair up in kid or metal curriers'
every night Is not good for it, either,
Hair at the sides and front that is
regularly curled in this way becomes
thin in time. Whatever curling method
is preferred should be used with mod
Grafton, and as soon as i'll effects begin
to appear the method should be
changed.
I have received letters from so many
readers who have attempted to change
the color of their hair with disastrous
results that include ill-advised bleach

PIaids of Prehistoric Character
BY MARY MARSHALL.

threads going the other way-but
plaids must have COME soon after.
Perhaps it is because the plaid is
so primitive that it makes such wide
appeal. Every one likes plaids and
bit of plaid about the costume gives
an air of sprightliness that cannot be
gained by more complicated figures.
To the girl who makes her own
clothes, would make this suggestion.
Buy sweater or jersey blouse and then
to go with it make skirt of pleated
plaid silk with a square or triangular
or oblong plaid scarf to match. Or If
you like make the skirt of plaid wool
with a really warm scarf of the same
material 1t is very easy to make
straight pleated skirt from plaid be-
cause you can follow the lines Of the
plaids in figuring tl'l distances Of your
pleatS, and the contrast Of the un-
pleated plaid of the scarf with the
pleated plaid Of the skirt is decidedly
pleasing
Geometrical trimming is very smart
and triangleS are among the faVorite
geometrical figures. There are trian-
giles made of velvet that are not at all
difficult and may be used effectively to
trim a frock of cloth or crepe de chine.
Please send me stamped, self-ad-
dressed envelope and 1 will send you
directions for making these at once.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. sPRoWLs.
Names.

A man goes to the races and stakes
$lOO on horse just because he likes
the name of the horse. The horse
wins and the man draws $500. This
was 10 years ago, and the man still
takes his chances on names.
A man says that he will not vote for
Gov. Smith because the high Office of
President should have something more
than common name attached to it.
A young man is introduced to a
young lady at reception. He at once
displays an antipathy toward her. He
doesn't like her name.
A 13-year-old girl chooses her re-
treshment at an ice cream parlor on
the ground that "it sounds good
Shakespeare says there's nothing in
name. The mass conviction of men,
women and children always has been
and always will be the contrary. The
man at the races will tell you that he
uses good Judgment. that he has dis
covered a system" The young man
at the reception is convinced that GER
tam names are sure to mean some
thlng to be avoided The adolescent
girl at the refreshment parlor will ad-
NIT that the name stands for an ex-
pected new taSte-experience There is
SoIleCHILlg III name, and rose by
any other name does not smell as sweet.
So says mass conviction.
The scientific psychologist insists that
Shakespeare was right. He only tries
10 explain how the man at the races
ana all the others came to have such
mistaken reasons for their likes or dis
likes for names.
Here is his answer. The man at tho
races accidentally won. His winning
set up conditioned emotional response
for future activities of the same sort
The same will hold for the young man
at the reception. The adolescent girI
was experimenting: the would-be voter
was rationalizing-hunting up a reason
where none exists.

My Neighbor Says:

After washing hairbrushes in
hot soap lather it is a good plan
to rinse the briStles in basin
of cold water to which has been
added a sufficient quantity of blu
ing to color it. Rinse the brush
in cold water, shake it we'll and
dry quickly in the open air. This
method keeps the bristles white
and stiff.
To remove meats from pecan
nuts easily place the nuts in a
pan, pour boiling water over
them and let stand a few min
utes.
When making patchwork quilts
baste the patches onto brown
paper and stitch on the machine.
Tear off the paper when the
stitching Is done.

hair beauty. wish that girls and
women would realize that the natural
shade Of their hair, emphasized by the
use of harmless rinseS perhaps, is best
for them. A bleached or dyed head OF
hair deceives nobody, especially when
the job has been done at home. There
are cases, of course, when artificial
coloring of the hair is advisable. but
the work should be intrusted to an ex-

dyed hair can never be restored to its
