The tragedy of grey hair is never "so great as with the woman whose fading hair makes her appear like the grandmother of her own children. Mrs. T. A. Allenb'ury, a well-known resident of Meredin, W.A v v.-ho was called " Mother " and " Grandmother " because of her faded white hair, and who darkened it with a simple home-made mixture, recently made the following statement:— ' 'Why, anyone can do as I do f and throw 10 or 20 years age from their appearance. Just prepare this simple mixture at home, which quickly darkens the hair and makes it soft and glossy. To a £-pint of water add loz. of Bay Rum, . box of Orlex Compound and joz. of Glycerine. These ingredients can be purchased at any chemists at trifling cost, and mixed at home to save unnecessary expense.' Apply to the hair twice a week until the desired shade is obtained. It does not discolour the scalp, is not sticky or greasy, and does not rub off. My friends new call me 'Girl.'" The Orlex Compound referred to above is quite reasonable, costing only 5s ; the other ingredients should not cost more than an extra 9d or Is.—AdvL
