Care of the Hair

\ -- Some Valuable Hints GRAY or white hair can be lovely, but it is not always so. Indeed, it takes a lot of keeping beautiful. Where it is inclined to assume a_ yellowish tinge, a few drops of ammonia should be added to the shampoo, and a few drops of ordinary washing blue to the last rinsing water. Where the hair is becoming gray prematurely, electric vibratory massage will do much -to re- , Store its original colour, by stimulating the pigmentation cells. If you are one of those who has always regretted having her locks shorn, I would emphatically say now is the time to let it grow. It can be gracefully waved and dressed to the shape of the head, the ends as they grow being caught up at the nape of the neck, and turned up or under. Should you not boast the loveliness of natural waves, electric curling irons will enable you to easily assume them. For superfluous hair, if the growth is in any way profuse, a depilatory should be used, or it can be satisfactorily removed by electrolysis. Often, however, it is the soft down, which gave the lovely peach-like bloom to the skin, when. young, now grown coarser, that is the trouble; here, a solution of peroxide of hydrogen, sponged on daily, will bleach, weaken and finally destroy the growth. To sum up, above all, do not worry. , Typubles do come, we know, but then 2 lot’. .f those we worried about never did, and had they, how much better we should have faced them, with a calm faith that a way out would appear. Hlectricity has done much for the world since its wonderful dliscovery, and can do wonders for women and the home, if women will avail themselves of the opportunities it gives them to lighten their labours, brighten their lives, by the use of such labourSaving appliances as electric ranges, washing machines, cleaners, ete., which do away with so much domestic drudgery. ‘
