' from the number of letters 1 receive

This la. of course, due to varied

system, . nervous strain, ovi worry, or
even, I'm sorry to aay. to carelessness
'..as to-hablta of parsonal . cleanliness.
. But It la not so much eausca with which
we are to deal today aa with eurea.
' Thar la no reason why a woman
whose hair la falling badly, who Is

too harsh and dry or suffer from that,
even more unpleasant condition, undue

Via surprising how vague la the know)
edge- possessed by the average person
-on the ubJeot. When suddenly awak

is the worst thing they could do. and

' - No one has yet discovered the univer
sal panacea for hair Ilia. Special dis
orders require special treatment, which,'
If possible.-: should be professional.
. There la little use In denying that It la
beat, j to ' have ... one's hair regu-
' larly treated by a skilled hairdresser -
" who has mad a sclenUflc study of her -'
profession. Results wUl undoubtedly be
' quicker and gained with much less wear
. and tear on one's own time, strength
and .temper.
But this Is Impossible to the vast ma
jority of women. Sometimes It la a,
question of money; often, especially in
i atnoil towns, there la no hair apoclaltst
' on whom one can rely. , Remember, a
wrong treatment of the hair Is often
worse than none.
Today I am going to atmp.,
thoroughly pracUcal talk on keeping the
hair to good condition under ordinary
circumstance. The directions are such .
! that any woman can follow them who
ha wilt to do so. After all. that Is .
' the chief trouble with home treatments
they are spasmodic. It does no good
1 to vlgorouaiy follow- rules for a week
t or two and then retire from the light
oa falling locks because too lasy to de
vote the small amount of time dally
that la necessary to win.
Naturally, If the reason for poor hair
ea ha traced to the various physical
" ousts' I have mentioned, they should
first be corrected under the care of
. ana's physician 'or by the practice of
common sense. But for general condi
tions the following advice, carefully and
. regularly followed, cannot fall to ben
efit, r . '.
. w. hear much of manage these days,
of It active tonlo effect on the hair
roots and oella by Increasing the flow
of blood through the scalp. But how
many women know the massage move

Than, again, la general way, we
appreciate . the " necessity . for perfeet
eleaallness of the scalp, but fad to at
tain It through Ignorance of the proper
. methods. ; --; -' ' ' ' ' 'i
'The Arst thing a woman who Is an-
.lous about her hair should do Is to give
It a thorough shampoo. This should be
repeated at least once a month. It can
be easily and well done by ana's self
unless the hair is Very heavy.
- First, loosen all the dead skin on the
scalp with a brush or comb, .and re
move all tangles. Then rub In a good
purs shampoo. Any of those so often
given la thess columns will be effective.
Choose on suited to 1 your peculiar
needs. . v . '
Aa excellent shampoo Is to beat up
two eggs with a tablespoon! ul of hot
water, and rub It thoroughly Into the
scalp. If possible, let It remain a half
; hour before removing. The chief pre
caution that must be taken la to rinse
- with lukewarm wster until all the egg
Is out of the hair. Iter, rinse with
WVer as hot ss you can stand, gradu-

I
it
ally ooollng tni the water la perfectly
cold. -Do not apply the cold water too
quickly, or congestion may result. A
- sprayer attached to a faucet where the
water can be tampered la the best pos
sible means of rinsing. '
ro drying, twist the long hair rather
tightly to get out the surplus water.
Then work on the scalp with a towel.
When that la thoroughly dry, the long
hair Usually has taken care of Itself.
When halt dry, brush the hair; comb
ing first add to the tangles. Later, part '
In strands and comb. ' Contrary to the
usual belief, drying the hair la the air
and sun makss It dry and stand out.
and will not give a soft look.. On the
other band, ' drying by. means of artt-
. flclal heat la a most pernicious practice.
After .the ' hair is shampooed many
women like to rub in a little tonlo ao-"
ccrdlng to the directions given later. If
the hair la dry a little sweet oil can be
rubbed in. This Is better than vaseline,
too much of which smother the roots.
. While the hair, undoubtedly stsys up"
- better If waved after shampooing. It la
- not well to use hot irons. A very pretty
natural-looking wave ean be given by
putting in the sids combs or a pompa-
. dour comb, while the hair Is still damp, .
- and. pressing it forward. One can also
use the stick wavers or plait the hair '
1a small strands. ;
If ths hair la falling 'badly or has
' dandruff, a daily massage of the scalp
. and treatment with' tonlo Is Important.
If the hair Is In a very bsd condition,
" this can even be done twice a day. Or
. dlnarlly It is sufficient to spply tonlo
' twice a. Week. ...
- V-;. xABaAQZ.tiuvr. ' C
.Ths scalp, however, should bs raas
. saged daily.- A tight scalp Is the secret
of half the falling hair, and the aha
a should be to loosen It. This Is partlou-
larly necessary after a fever, when It
frequently becomes hide-bound. " The
movements given cannot fall to have the"
desired loosening effect. . j i
The first thing to do for the dally
treatment of the hair Is to ventilate'.
It thoroughly. .Shake It up well and
" loosen the ends to give air, as some-;
' times hair gains an unpleasant odor '
. from too close confinement. ' .
As the tonlo must never be applied .
without first exciting the scalp to opea
the pores, loosen the dead skin with a
comb and then brush thoroughly . to
loosen the : dandruff and ' remove the
. dust. '-'. . : ."''
Aa excellent brush for the purpose Is .,
a little shampoo brush about four Inches ,
long and twa Inches wide. These cost '
from 76 cents to ft. 00, and are equally '
" as efficacious as . the much-vaunted
" brush with English bristles, which are
very expensive,
- If the hair Is vary thick, part It and'
; brush to each side, beginning at the
' top of the head and going down to the
'bottom of the hair. Rubbing- the brush '
'; into ths scalp helps to excite It.
.. If ths hair la oily, take a towel and
. rub the scalp Just as aftsr shampooing.
. By ths way, this tonlo treatment Is ex
cellent for oily conditions, Jf rubbed la
' thoroughly; In extreme esses, powder
, can be used occasionally. ; but It, dogs
'. the pores. ;, - , :. , . ' .
, With a dry scalp, aevsr use. a tenia
. with much alcohol In It It Is easy to '
tell a dry condition by ths presence of
denoVskln or dandruff. ".
' Before putting on the tonlo, mas
saga the scalp with thess movements: ,
Placing the four Angers and thumb ef
sack hand abovs the ears, work up (o
ths crown of the hesd in a rotary .i press-'
, Ing motion. Then, putting ths right
hand on the temple and the left at the
nape ef the neck in the same position. .
again work up to ths crown, until

, Next put the thumb and first finger '
f the light hand oa the temples, and '
ths five fingers of ths left hand at the -nap
of the neck or the crown of the "
head, and move the whole scalp front
and back. Then put ths thumb and first
finger to each side, at the crown of the
head, and move the scalp from side to
side. - These two movements are un- .
rivaled for loosening the tissues from
the bone.' '
If the scalp,' when rubbed, does hot .
glow and get red. It la a sign of poor
circulation. To correct this, put the
thumbs under ths chin and three fin
gers oa ths lymphatic glands' and rub
In a circular motion, either front or
back, to smpty ths blood through the
glands To refill, place three fingers
Juat below the temple on each side of
th y sockets and work with a ro- .

medicine dropper or with a small ma
