Keeping Blond Hair Light.

AS a type the true blond seems to be
gradually disappearing from the face
Of the earth. The little girl whose
flaxen hair and heavenly blue eyes give
promise of her remaining lovely blond
is so apt to change into light brown
or ashen blond type. But while a true
blond beauty is deservedly admired one
must not forget that her imltator, the
peroxide blond with bleached hair
rouged cheeks and scarlet llps usually
deceives no one but herself. Such arti-
fetal blondness as hers is striking, but
not beautiful, and she is as far re-
moved from the genuine blond as the
girl or woman with raven locks and
brown eyes.
But while the beauty seeker must
shun becoming artificial, the girl or
woman whom nature intended to be a
blond surely owes it to herself to do
all she can to retain the characteristics
of this type. Excessive oilineSS is often
the cause of a bonds hair becoming
dark Those afflicted in this way should
set about correcting the oilineSs by the
use of a suitable astringent hair tonic
and a blond rinse after the shampoo.
OF course, as in all beauty programs,
the first point Is bodily health; no girl
can hope to retain overlooking hair
with real sheen for very long unless
she Is IN GOOD pnySlcal conulClon.
If the hair is oily 1t may be sham
pooed as often as once a week. Use
soft water whenever possible: when
this cannot be procured hard water
may be softened by the addition of
a little powdered borax. Blond hair
should never be washed with anything
but pure white soap. Make a soap

pint of hot water. This will last for
several shampoos. Use enough of 1t
to make good lather and apply to the
hair several times, rinsing well after
each application. Then rinse thor
oughly in several tepid waters. The
final rinse is important to the girl or
woman who is eager to keep her hair

Long Gloves at Formal Events
BY MARY MARSHALL.

And the chances were that she wore a
pair of discarded white gloves when she
slept at night to keep her hands lily
white and slender.
A we'll known society woman, who was
one of the first of her set to interest
herself in the cause of suffrage aroused
no special comment when she habitually
wore gloves as she worked at her desk
in her suffrage headquarters.
We all became little careless in this
matter of gloves in the days that fol-
lowed the war, and there really Is as
much to be said in favor of wearing
long gloves at dances and formal eve
ming events as there is to be said against
the practice.
