SHINGLE SETS

(By

Mary Lovat)

Beware how you give the shingled the hairbrush of The unshingled. Nowadays no woman who prides herself on

her. shorn locks having the burnish that betokens real hair-care, will condescend to use the long-handled brush,

but prefers, to employ i the military brushes—two of them—that adorn the masculine toilet table. So if you are equipping a young daughter with a toilet Bet, be sure that her brushes are ‘.‘right.’’ Again her equipment must include a iiatent dipper to enable her to curtail as far as- possible her visits to the coiffeur. These clippers are now made on the daintiest lines and are easy to use. A little practice and one need not even call in a friend’s tions, provided that one’s mirror has the clamped attachment which will enable one to view the nape of one’s neck without dislocation. The outfit snoul dalso count among, its items a set of those long broochlike “gadgets'* for pinning into one’s locks after they have been shampooed and while they are still damp. These will bring about the big Marcel wave at which all the shingled aim and will “set” her. hair so that ifc keeps its ourves for quite a long time. And above all, there must be a tightly stoppered bottle for her brilliantine. The great secret of the successful' shingle is an untroubled oatline. There must be ho stray bits and pieces. The soupcon of hrilliantine applied with the palm of the hand will bring this about. For travelling there are metal bottles fitted with an outer case that make the exuding of liquids an impossibility. Such a bottle for hair lotion should’ certainly find a place in the outfit.
