lation is whipped up. while the nerves
are soothed and rested, and the result
is certainly tlattering. as we know by
experience.
For generally bad condition of the
skin a series of treatments is most
beneficial but we are speaking today
of last-minute resources to give us i'm
mediate results.
Still another shop has just recently
added a service for facials. with a
young lady specially trained in New
York at the headquarters salon in all
the details of this particular method
new to Washington, but used in New
York. London and other European
cities.
The outstanding feature of this
facial is exercising the muscles by
means of knuckle massage. 1t is
claimed that this brings up the cir
culation without stretching the skin,
and their little booklet is valuable
in itself, as it gives diagrams of
special exercises to take at home
for keeping the chin and jaw line
all that it should be and to properly
exercise the neck muscles to keep
them firm.
IF YOUR hair looks uninteresting
and you feel that it needs some
thing to make it glamorous. we have
found something that will turn the
trick. If your hair Is dull-looking,
with few grays showing through.
this special treatment will tone down
the grays and make of them bewitch-
ing 'highlights instead and give your
whole hair just bit more tone and
color without actually dying it a solid
color.
If your hair has been bleached and
has now become lusterless and drab,
this treatment will make it into a
lovely honey blond with lots of luster.
A blue-black highlight or a red high
light can be produced also according
to your wishes, if you hair needs these
tints.
This new glamour treatment Is
blend of four nourishing vegetable
oils, and it is the preponderance of
oil in the solution that gives the hair
so much luster and sheen with the
addition of small percentage of
vegetable color to overcome the gen.
eral dull effect which is so unnecessary
nowadays. It will even make white
hair more beautiful, giving it charm
ing silver sheen.
Another good thing about this treat
ment is that it can be removed if
you do not like it; there is nothing
hard and fast about it; a comforting
feature that will appeal to many per-
sons who are a bit tinid about hair
tinting.
The oily solution is steamed into
the hair and scalp, and acts as a
tonic treatment as well as a tint. OF
course this treatment is only given
by operators who have been especially
trained for the work, and you will
find it being used at most Of the bet
ter hairdressers. An instant per-
manent tint is also offered for those
who desire it which cannot be re-
moved. This is not given unless the
client particularly asks for this type
of service.
IF YOU are tired of the way you
have been wearing your hair, it

styled. An interview with the man

For extreme chic, one salon is fea-

the hair and is showing, in addition
to auburn, number of exotic shades.
such as cyclamen and lilac, which, of
course, would only be used for special
gala occasions in the evening to match
certain gowns. The young French
woman who suggests these startling
colors says that in Paris last Summer
she noticed great predominance of
hair with reddish tones, and that the
effect was very smart.
