Why Grow Old?
Skill Needed
In BRUSHING
The Hair
By Josephine Lowmon

Earlier this week I wrote
about doing everyday chores in
a new way and adding new in
terests to daily living. The way
you do anything can make a
great difference.
For instance. it is surprising
how few times the hair is brushed
correctly even in well-known
beauty salons. You can guess
then that women who use the
correct method at home are in
the minority. Whether or not
the brushing you do is truly
beneficial to scalp health and
hair beauty depends on how you
do it.
This is the method which will
stimulate circulation. Turn the
brush toward the scalp. Turn
the brush up toward the ceiling
as you sweep it along The hair
to the ends. This takes a twist
of the wrist which provides you
with an arm exercise and exerts
pressure on the hair at its
source.
This is very different from
just halfway moving the brush
over the hair. The brush should
e-pulled along the entire length
of the hair.
The way you massage the scalp
makes all the difference in the
world in results, also. To do
this adequately spread the fin
gers of both hands over the
scalp. Keep the hands in place
while you rotate them, making
the scalp move. Change the
positions of the hands until you
have covered the entire head
Many women who take good
care of their compilations neglect
their hair. Daily scalp stimula-
tion with either massage or
brushing, or both, and good
nutrition and hair cleanliness
will give your tresSes a lift.
Actually you should use both
brush and massage, because
brushing removes dust and
spreads the natural oil along
the hair as well as whips up
circulation.
Vitamin deficiency has been
correlated with dull or graying
hair. The vitamin B family
seems to have some happy effect.
Eat scientifically and if you are
having hair trouble you might
add some vitamin B complex to
your daily food intake. Ask
your physician how much.

leaf1et about hair styling, send

velope with your request for

Face Attractively," to Josephine

A reminder to your Mont

there are three classes in tex
tile painting in the adult edu-
cation program. If you need
some different gift for your
favorite nephew or Aunt Jen-
ny or some one very special.
either a hand-painted towel
personalized with name, or a
dainty organdy apron with
rosebuds or holly. or necktie,
might be the perfect solution.
You don't have to be an art
ist as textile painting may be
done entirely with stencils.
Moreover, girls, it's a lot of
fun. good relaxation after a
busy day. and your imagina-
ton Is the only limit to your
creations! I enjoy the class so
very much that I've enrolled
for the second year. If you're

MRS. p. J. M, SilUer Spring.
My husband rented my

my washer. I have the laun-

collar" which attaches to the
back of the dryer and ran
pipe up to the window and
cut a hole large enough for
pipe. 1t eliminates all mois-
ture and lint. If you would
like further information con-
tact me through the RICH.
I have lost my recipe for a
color vision cake. It was made
with egg white only and as
the last step, I believe 3 table
spoons of jello was mixed with
a little batter, and folded in.
The icing also called for jello.
Can some one supply me with
this recipe?
