considered to be OF great value in
keeping the skin firm and well
cleansed. and for the bath, manicure
and eyebrows still more brushes play
their several parts.
NOW that we are convinced that
all these brushes do play big
part in our everyday lives, let US con-
slider some of the odd shapes and
sizes that are so intriguing.
The father Of them all is the big
long handled back brush that will
keep your back smooth and make your
bath q stimulating and popping up
process. Use plenty of soapsuds and
scrub your back all over, then rinse
and finish with q cold spray. This
treatment will encourage a good cir
culation and make the skin finer in
texture and less susceptible to blem-
ishes, at the same time Fastening the
scaling of the rough, dead, outer skin.
After your bath, rub your back with
eau de cologne, witch hazel or skin
tonic. Just try this once, II 1t Is not
already a habit with you. The brush
shown above has a demountable han
die, so that it may be used for other
parts Of the body as well. and also
comes with q straight handle and the
brush set on at a cross angle, for those
who prefer another type. These
brushes are priced at $3.50 and will
give you lots of satisfaction and bath
comfort.
Another large and important men,
ber Of the brush family is the head
ache brush, and Is shown at the left
of the sketch, with the extra long
bristles. This Is o whale of a brush
in more ways than one, for it has long
Whaie-bone bristles in uneven lengths,
and its special function is to whip up
circulation in the scalp and drive away
any congestion that may be causing
pain. The hair is parted and the
brush Is pressed to the scalp gently
and used in a rotary motion. This
brush is not intended to be stroked
through the hair, as the bFistles are
not wiry enough and will break OF.
A POPULAR hair model is the pull
man brusfl-that long. narrow
fellow alongside the back brush. This
brush is well liked by both men and
women and Is particularly adapted to
the needs of the traveller, IS it Is q
space saver in the suit case, yet gives
excellent service.
The round brush with the knob top
is q different kind Of q scalp brush
and is q favorite with the men, with
its satinwood top and black bristles.
The little heart-shaped brush at
top center is very feminine affair
In pink composition material with
baby-soft bristleS of cal1el's hair for
blending the powder evenly over the
face and removing any excess. The
little nail brush beneath it Is q very
convenient shape and comes in a
variety of colors, as does the very
amusing turtle hand brush, which is
one of the newest additions to the
brush family. 1t fits easily into the
palm Of the hand, and the head and
tail may also be put into service to
remove CRIME from under the nails.
This brush is especially recommended
for the kiddies, as 1t appeals to their
sense of humor and makes hand
scrubbing O little more Of q pleasure
than usual.
The very nice strap-back brush
shown at the bottom Of the sketch Is
a foot brush and is for keeping the
feet in Al condition. We are apt TO
forget our feet, even though we scrub
all other portions of the body; but
the feet are grateful for q good scrub
bing, too, and should not be neg
lected, especially during the hot
weather. when they perspire SO freely
Battle and scrub them, then powder
them lightly, and you will be dancing
on your toes before you know 1t.
There are lots Of other things that
we learned about brushes, even to
mems shaving brushes that cost as
much as $40. That Is o lot OF money
to pay for shaving brush, but it
means that the bristles are the very
best quality Of silver-tipped Badger
hair, which tnsures q soft brush, kind
to the face and of long-wearing quail
ties.
