Lucky indeed is the girl with
lovely hair, although in most cases,
it isn't luck at all, but the result
of proper care. Such care takes a
little time and effort, but it pays
large dividends in beauty, for beau
tiful hair is a oWman's most flat
tering possession.
Summer sun, wind and water are
all very fine, up to point. The
problems begin when the hair has
had too much of them, and here's
where an ounce of prevention is
worth many pounds of cure. A SIM
pie summer routine for your hair
should include brushing, correct
shampooing, and protection from
the sun.
MUST BRUSH HAIR
Grandmother knew what she was
about when she brushed her hair
determinedly every night, counting
the strokes as she went With the
coming of marcels and fingerwaves,
which we thought we had to pro-
tect," the brushing routine was ig-
nored for a time, but today again

a convenient grip. Remember to
keep your brush clean-a washing
in lukeWarm suds does the trick
in just a few seconds.
Before you begin brushing, mas
sage the scalp gently with the finger
tips. Then part the hair in long
strands, the parts running from
the top of the head to the ear and
neck. Begin at the scalp and brush
through the length of the strand
several times, brushing upward and
outward always Wipe your brush
on a towel every few strokes, to
remove dust and dirt. A thorough
brushing, you see, helps cleanse hair

CLINT of highlights. Brush your hair
before each shampoo, and between
Shampoos too. 1t you do it correct
ly, it won't spoil your wave. Actually
it will make the wave lovelier and
more natural in appearance.
COLOR YOUR HAIR
If the summer sun and wind have
caused your hair to lose some OF
it's natural color, or if you're begin
ming to find a few too many gray
hairs, let a responsible hair coloring
help you restore it to its natural
beauty. Your hairdreSSer can give
you advice on this, and your favorite
dealer can help you with a sugges-
ton.
A little attention to your hair
now, and when the new hairstyles
come along next fall, you'll be all
set to try one of them as your new
est aid to beauty and romance
For make no mistake about it, ro-
nance comes to the girls who make
the most oof their own good looks
and lovely hair is the first weapon
of offense against the hearts OF
men!

Tooth Brush Is
More Important
Than Powder
Mouth Hygiene
Vital Item In
Keeping Health

YOU MAY FANCY that your
powder pad and lipstick are your
closest beauty friends, but be not
deceived. Of much greater im>
portance is the toothbrush. With.
cut white, highly polished and
even teeth no girl need aspire to
line up in the beauty chorus.
Mouth hygiene is important
from the standpoint Of the gen
eral health. Decayed 1eeth in
terfere with the mastication Of
food which in urn upsets the dis
gestive motors, or brings on o
condition of malnutrition. Infec-
tions of the cf the teeth and gum
are carried to other parts of he
body, have been known to cause
serious heart troubles.
PAIN is COMING
We have no patience with the
young lady who hangs around
the shops so as to lug home be-
coming duds to wear, put waits
until the last minute to visit the
DENTS. The longer she waits the
more pain will she suffer, not
only when the old buzzsaw is
working, but when the bill comes
in. The wise one seeks the serv-
ices of the dentist twice year,
has a careful examination, re-
pairs made. She feels very right
eous and she has right to feel
that way. She is doing her duty
by herself. She may have to cut
down on cosmetics for awhile to
keep the beauty budget balanced,
but what of it?
There is always a possibility
of tartar formation; hard sub
stance forms at the base of the
teeth, causing inflammation and
bleeding. These horrid mouth bar
nacles cannot be removed with
the brush; only the dentists in
struments will dislodge them. I'm
less they are removed the gums
will recede and rockets will form
to attract bacteria.
WILL FIGHT DECAY
The free use of the toothbrush
after each meal and at tedtlme
may net eliminate decay, but it
is an effective weapon for fight
ing it. Stagnant food particles
are pounced upon by germs that
exist in them mouth, an acid
forms and this substance causes
cavities to appear in the enamel
of the teeth. If you are in the
habit Of having a candy binge in
the middle of the afternoon, use
the brush again.
There is a belief that diet has
a good deal to do with healthy
teeth. Calcium, it seems, is espec-
tally necessary for their we'll be-
ing. One get this in milk, car
rots, cheese, orange juice, spin
ach, celery and eggs. Vitamin D,
it is said, is a good friend to hu-
man fangs, and that is found in
butter, eggs and milk. Some
specialists recommend Vitamin G
as a good oldstandby to ward off
mouth ills, and that comes to US
in orange and jemon juice, let
tuce and other vegetables.
The time has come when no
beauty seeker can afford to be
finicky eater. She must have a
varied diet, eat at regular hours,
take enough food to supply the
energy necessary for the days ac-
tivities and no more. If she
gorges she'll add poundage and
will have to turn her thoughts to
a reducing routine which most
heavyweights find almost unbear-
able.
