MAKE YOUR OWN HAIR TONIC.

A SPECIALIST'S ADVICE! 111, a recent issue the; "Daily: Mail" of London published a special article on the care, of the* hair,.-' in - which was given 1 the formtda -for a home-made hair tonic that was highly;recommended for-its remarkable hair-growing properties, -as well as for stopping falling hair, revitalising the hair roots,/ and destroying; the dandruff germ.. This article was of special interest to me, as. the formula was one which J, ■ myself,- have ; seen used -iii countless ■ cases:',- with most astonishing benefit, thus confirming my belief ' that home-made ; hair preparations:' are the best. | For the benefit of those, who have not; seen. it. before, I give ,tl)o formula herewith.

■'. Procure.. 1 from yonr chemist.. a. fourounce bottle, containing three ounces of Bay Rum, one ounce of Lavona de Composee • (Smith's), and { dram Menthol Crystals. ::/ Dissolve -the crystals .in.- , the. Bay Rum, and then add the Lavona de Com'posee; shake thoroughly and apply night and morning to the roots of the hair, rubbing into the scalp with the .finger tips. -. This preparation -contains no colouring matter,, but restores, grey. ..iair to its original -colour; by its action wn ; the - hair roots. ■■ If you desire . it 'perfumed, add half a spoonful of French ]?on. Fleur perfume, which, combines' perfectly with the other ingredients, and > imparts a most. ; ,pleasing scent., (Do not where haiv -is not desired.)—Advt.*

Masterton Notes. Tho ' members of Miss Thomas's 'Juvenile Dancing Class wound up the seasoir by holding a fancy-dress dance in tho Exchange Hall ' on Thursday ovening. ■•'.A large number of parents, friends, and older pupils were also present, and greatly added to the .pleasure of the children by dancing with them. The. hall ,was nicely arranged, with screens aiid large howls and stands of -kowhai, .clematis, lilac, and arum lilies, likewise tho supper-room, where a very-dainty supper: was laid. That it was a time to be remember--ed, by. the little, folks - was evident. Their ,'quaint and ...pretty dresses made c|iiito a gay scene, though it. was only in the grand march that.one realised how many, costumes, were represented. It ;was most amusing- to'-see tiny tots of girls with grown-up partners—poor partners whoso backs; would sadly ache 'afterwards..: One' wee mite, .whose partner was quite doubled * up, "didn't think much of his. dancing,"'.and "thought it : so silly of him' to look like that." \ Among, : ;so ; many interesting characters.' reprosentedi it • was a difficult matter to see all,.'but,- some. wero the following 6.
