HAIR PROBLEMS THE PERMANENT WAVE. If you shampoo your own hair try this shampoo, making it in -he following way: Shred half a cake .)t o!-V€ oil soap into half a pint of wi’er. S*ni mer fhis until all the soap is melti.u and then allow it to cool to a toap jelly. Stir into the jelly ene boa.en egg yolk, two ounces -if bav run.', ami one tablespoon or eau de cologne. Ybuj ■he i>i t or beauty specialist will make it up for you. Shampoo the hair with this mixtmy in the usual way, rinsing well with plenty of water. This shampoo preparation has at least three things to recommend it. It brightens the hair, pre vents dandruff, and keeps greasinesfi at bay wonderfully. That is rule number one, in the quest of lovely locks. It is'certainly worth a little thought and trobule, because hair beauty makes up quite half our appearance and especially when one spends so much time out of doors hat .ess.

ANTI-GREASE LOTION. Rule number two begins with the mti-grease lotion to bo used a week, or whenever the hair shows any’ sign of lankness beside the parting. Nothing looks more unprepossessing and ill-groomed than that. Get your chemist to make you up ;his mixture: Three ounces of surgi sal spirit, a few grains of quinine, ind an ounce and a-half of spirit per:ume. With this lotion, and brushing passage, your hair should keep fresh ind gleaming even during a sea bailing holiday in the hottest weather. Many girls are afraid to brush theii ‘perms.’’ They imagine that it will ;ake out the wave. This is a mistake. Brushed in the correct way, "’lnch s away from the head, not flat against, t, the wafe will be brought up ather than spoiled. Also it is quite impossible to keep he scalp clean and fresh without 'igorous brushing, to say nothing oi he stimulating effect that brushing ias on the hair follicles and all tin-icrve-s of the head. One hair authority naintains that the girl who brushes ter hair for ten minutes daily with « -tiff-bristled, clean brush, will hot go jrey or have any dandruff troubles. Brush the hair thoroughly, thenoosely, away from the scalp. When he head is really' hot and stimulated ipply the lotion. VALUE OF FRICTION.

Separate the hair and rub it well mtn the scalp with a small piece of jotton wool. Friction the hair, too. ilong the partings where there is any tendency to oiliness. In fact, keep the hair well fluffed out from the head until the lotion is quite dry, which it will be in a few minutes. The spirit m this preparation makes it very volatile, and it simply absorbs all the grease and dries leaving the whole scalp cool and fresh and the hair looking as though you had just come from the hairdressers. Finally, when the hair is quite dry. comb the waves into place and press them back into their set with toe lingers. If any of the ends are no! quite so e.isp as you could wish, dami them with a little warm sugared water, cut! them up with fringe pirnand allow them to dry. One tip to remember when lonkinj. after your permanent wave is not t< brush when you come in damp fron exercise. To do so will only spread tin dampness over your whole head am flatten yo - r wave. Loosen the hat and cool and dry before brushing.
