Color. Names Are
Full of Allure

Despite the efforts Of makers Of
fabrics to standardize the colors shown
each year this Standardization does
not go beyond those in the profession.
And often o dreSSmaker or designer of
note will display Just the sort Of haxi-
ness in the use Of color terms that you
might expect from your rnilliner's new
est saleSwoman. But 1t really doesn't
matter in the leaSt--at least from the
point Of view Of the chic or beauty of
the clothes. And the designer who has
q true eye for color is of far greater
use to us than the one who is GLIB in
the use of color terms.
However there is an interesting bit
OF psychology in color names that Il
often made use of, by the writer Of ad-
vertisements. The merchant who
knows his customers knows that they
have fondneSS for interesting sound
ing color names. II he advertises new
fabrics he will do well to be specific.
instead Of merely saying "all the new
shades" A French name or 80, q name
OF picturesque rewneSS, name old and
tried and name that is new but self
explanatory and one that leaves the
reader in q quandary-that makes q
good list of color names.
So the merchant mentions rust and
cocoa, that are self-explanatory, tur-
quoiSe blue and coral, that are old
standbys, water green to arouse your
curiosity, with possibly mushroom to
leave you guessing. |
1t is not new trick, however, and
the color names Of years. gone by were
perhaps devised by manufacturers,
merchants and dreSsn1akerS to stimu-
late trade. Rather audacious was the
one who originated puce, and dared to
name q color for a flea. But 1t was
the audaciousneSs of the name as we'll

Shampoo Is Emphasized

For a dry egg shampoo, only the
whites of eggs are necessary. These
must first be beaten, then applied to
dry hair. Let the whites dry on the
hair and then brush them out thor
oughly and you will have hair that is
light and fluffy.
But what every girl should know.
whether or not her aim Is TO be
cosmetiste, Is how to give a good sham
poo without any extras, and you should
know, too, that one every two weeks is
an accepted rule.
First moisten the hair with warm
soft Water-hard water does not rinse
out the soap well-and then rub in the
shampoo with q firm, steady stroke
until it fathers freely.
Rinse the hair and scalp thoroughly
with warm water and then reSoap. If
the hair Is especially oily or dirty. q
third Soaping is necessary. The rinsing
must be very thorough and the novice
often discovers that she has to start
all over again in order to get all the
soap out. Special care must be taken
to do this properly.
Artificial dryers should be used only
by those who have learned to work
them. and sunlight is the best possible
dryer for the tresses, or an open fire
in the Winter time, If possible. In any

either the artificial or natural heat too
strong, as either blazing fires or suns
will injure the scalp and the hair.
Hair that is not clean cannot be ar
ranged attractively, for 1t will be dull
and sometimes sticky. A simple sham
poo. properly administered, will add
more to hair beauty than a dozen spe-
cial hair lotions. 1t not only gives one
an appearance of well-being, but an
added sense Of health.
When you learn that the average
head OF an adult has some 10000 hairs
and that each hair should be as clean
as your finger nails, even the most
simple shampoo should be administered
with care. q. And here it is we'll to
remember that smuggling the hair Is
no more beneficial to it than sineging
the fngernails would be to them.

IF you should take q course at
beauty school of the type that trains
professional beauticians, you would be
told very early that the color Of your
locks and their natural inclination TO
curly or straighten out are not nearly SO
important from the point OF view OF real
beauty as is the shampoo.
For beautiful hair Is the result OF
cleanliness more than anything else, but
the wrong kind of shampooing can DO
more harm than good.
CASTLE soap, because It treats kindly
all the various types Of hair-dry and
oily-is always safe to use. Here Is
way you can make your own shampoo
by simple professional formula:
Take a pound of CASTLE soap and
shave it into very fine pieces. Mix 1t
with a gallon of boiling water contain
ing one teaspoonful of baking powder
and one teaSpoonful Of borax or salt.
Let this mixture stand until the soap
Is thoroughly dissolved.
The water should be at the boiling
point when it is added to the soap, but
the mixture should not be boiled at all.
Boiling spoils the cleansing qualities OF
the shampoo because it separates the
oils and the alkali.
When the hair is especially oily,
tincture OF green soap Is recommended,
and for the dandruff scalp tar soap
may be employed. But you should
never rub bar of soap on the hair
when you wish a perfect shampoo
Make it liquid by shaving it and letting
1t soak in warm water. About o pint
OF water to a cake Of soap IL the right
solution In most cases.

For a wet-eEg shampoo, the yolkS
and whites are beaten separately and q
tablespoonful of water Is added TO the
yolkS. Two eggs are usually enough
unless the hair Is very abundant. First
rinse the hair in warm water-alwayS
use soft water for shampooing-anc
then rub in the yolks of the eggs anc
rinse them out. After that rub in the

Felt Lace Trims
Smart New Hats

Felt lace which is used In some Of
the newest French hats is one of the
novelties of the season. The lace" is
produced by more or less intricate per-
forations of the felt with the design
further accented by matching embroid-
cry. Usually the lace finish appears
at the edge of the felt, which is Of
the finest, lightest sort.

Tools can be removed from the
community shop only with the Gus
