WAVING THE HAIR.

Naturally wavy locks are, unfortunately, very rare, and the girl to whom nature has denied the gift of a fascinating kink In her hair must do her best to induce one by artificial mea/is. Permanent waving is too expensive a process for the woman of limited means, and tho busy woman worker cannot afford to devote the time necessary for n weekly visit to the hairdresser's.

The straightcst t and Jjvnkest 'rair is, . however, capable of attaining to a natural wave, even if it be only a slight one, Provided about ten minutes arc devoted to cultivating it every night. If your hair is straight, and you wish to induce a wave, comb instead of brushing it every night and morning. Choose i comb with largo teeth, and everv night dip It in hike-warm water. Shake the comb out, so that it is only slightly damp, then comb' the hair through very quickly, nsain and again, pressing tho comb firmly through the hair with an undulating 'movebent.

If you wish to induce the wave across tho head from ear to ear, comb the hair 'jack from tho forehead and pass the comb through to tho ends of the hair. Those who part the hair at one side or in the centre and wish for a wave at the sides should part tho hair and comb in the direction in which the waves are desired. Three or four months of this treatment, If given regularly every night, will give a pretty kirk to the straightest hair.

To give the hair a temporary wave, damp it by combing as described above, then divide into several strands and plait each strand tightly in three, tieing it, at the"ends. Do this at night, and leave the hair pirated till next morning. Then comb out with a dry comb, and the hair will look fluff and vrrivv.
