HER GREATEST GLORY

I always say a hair in the head is worth two iu the brush wi'itts a famous London beauty in an English paper. When I breakfast in bed I do not wear, a boudoir cap howover dinky I might look in one. For boudoir caps can cover a multitude of neglect. I .wear my hair looso hanging down jttiy back whenever I get tho opportunity.' I have a secluded garden so i often give my tresses an niring and in the warmer weather always dry them in tho sun. Also, I go without a hat whenever 1 can. There is no surer tonic for falling huir. I am sure worry and trouble react on hair. So when I found it literally coming out in handfuls, I tried to cultivate a little more serenity and built up my general health by taking plenty of nourishment and sleep. Hair reflects ono's physical and mental condition to a most alarming degree. I suppose you want mo to recom--mend you a tonic. Well, mine is a hairbrush and plenty of patience and elbowgrease. I have a nice, fairly firm, real, bristle brush. I brush my hair jn long, even stokes night and morning without fail. I find'vthat n course of systematic brushing will restore any deranged locks to their normal condition in a surprisingly short time. It will also remove dandruff and tone up the scalp effectively. I wash "my brushes nnd comb every day. I cultivate a simple; easy coiffure, I shampoo once a week,- because I go hatless so much I find my hair is always more or less grubby at the end of tiie week in spite of a midweek dry shampoo with orris root .powder,. (This should make you brush your hair well, if nothing else will, for it is not easy to remove.) 1 find a eafo rule is to shampoo when rciilly dirty and however often. Certainly oncii a week for very fair 'hair. I make my own shampoo. I shred half a tablet of good coal tar soap into a hot-water can, and pour a quart of boiling writer thereon. 1 cover it. after whisking it about, and when cool I use it in the same way as nn ordinary shampoo. This hint wus given to mt- by a West End hairdressor, and I have ahvnys found it most sntisfnetory -and refreshing. I rinso my head thoroughly in many waters, and then I put it under the cold tap and got a thorough ice cold sousing. I feel line when I do that.
