WHITE HAIR FOR WOMEN.

THE NEW FASHION CRAZE: The hairdressers have been lying ion for some time. We know that they would find something sensational—ana renumerutive — to follow tne shmgie; but whatf—it is white hair tor all, said a -London writer recently. “soon, every smart woman in London, young and old, will have white hair,” said ‘Mr Alex,’ the busy society hairdresser to me, “and they will look, oh! lovely.” Me discussed the matter. Unite liair, lie said, goes equally well with dark and fair complexion, it is rejuvenating and fascinating. But think, I said, now we should live in fear or the biacit or sandy-coloured parting beginning to grow. And pity the woman witn ligiit-coloured eyebrows and lashes, for white hair must have dark ones, and wlmt about patches ? Could you give us permanent patches, for I can never keep one on? Why not? said “Mr Alex,” with the air of one to whom all things are possible. I gathered that if one didn’t like one’s chic and snowy locks they could so easily be coloured again! Comforting thought, this. It is certainly a splendid fashion, for the elderly. | If everyone has white hair, who is to know if you - are old or young in this slim-figured, wrinkleless days? No more grey-flecked hair, or that ugly yellow-white.

Many a black-haired shingled grandmanjma, who is still considering the new fashion, may take heart at the sight ,of her white-haired granddaughter. The permanent wave lias now reached perfection.

I attended a display of the new Antoine method, by which it is impossible for the hair to break or become frizzy. Soft chemicals are now used instead of oil .or borax, and the result is a deep and natural ripple, a smooth brilliance ancl an extra pliancy of curl. The hair is not longer twisted spiral fashion on to a curler, but is kept quite flat and rolled from the tip to tlie roots instead of the other way round. Creams and lotions, like perfumes, now have alluring names. A skin specialist was bemoaning to me the fact that people pay a visit to the beauty doctor after, instead of before, a holiday. If you want to look not only' well, but beautiful, go to the beauty specialist first and see that you have the right creams aud lotions with which to go away.

These will protect your skin from too much sun, salt-water, and burming winds, keeping it soft and. smooth iu texture.
