CARE OF THE HAIR.

The-saying "woman's crowning glory is her hair," always should be remembered by all women. This has proved to be a very difficult problem to me, states a film star, to handle when I have appeared before the camera all day.. The camera is a severe critic, and : if there are no gleams of life in the; hair the camera is sure to notice it. This means many shampoos, as light hair requires more frequent washings than dark hair. As it isn't good for the hair to rub a cake of soap on it, I make a jelly by melting pure white soap in a little water. After a thorough rub I hold my head over a bath tub and rinse the hair free of every particle of soap. Then a lemon rinse (two tables poonfuls lemon juice in a quart of water) makes the hair soft and fluffy. Warm towels and a brisk scalp massage is a better way to dry the hair than with artificial heat or by exposure to very strong sunlight, which isn't good for light hair. While the hair is still damp arrange it in a becoming frame around the face, shaping it with your lingers and let it dry j in this way:" If the hair is inclined to be dry a little brilliantine, made of one ounce castor oil, four ounces alcohol, 30 drops oil of white rose, rubbed in the palms of the hands and stroked in the hair will give it a glossy lustre.
