How to Develop the Hidden Beauty of the Hair.

IVrfcct beauty is Riven to few women, but, with a little intelligence, all could make the best of whatever Rood looks they possess. Nothing niitkes more clill'orencc to a woman's appearance than the conditions of rer hair; -it greatly enhances the charm of tho pretty woman, if it is glossy and well-groomed, anti beantitnl nair atones for plainness in the less fortunate. A great deal depends on the shampoo used. The hair, to look its best, must, bo frequently cleansed. Many shampoos, which do not. lather well, only partially cleanse the hair; consequent ly it never appears as bright and glossy ns it should. Manv society women and actresses who know the value of beauty and the importance of preserving it, are now forsaking hairdressing establishments, and having their hair washed at home, by their maids. For this purpose a shampoo is made with stallax grannies and hot water. Ibis substance produces a sweet scented foaming lather which thoroughly cleanses the hair. After rinsing, the hair is quickly dried with hot towels, and the results are most satisfactory. All the hidden sheen of the hair is brought out, and it is beautifully soft, wavy, and easy to do up. All shampoos have a tendency to dry the hair. In cases where the scalp is naturally very oily, the use of stallax acts as an excellent corrective. For those whose hair is inclined to be dry and brittle, massaging the scalp with olive oil before cadi shampoo, is recommended. Brushes should be kept thoroughly dean. A little ammonia in tho _ water used foj washing them, ensures this.' They should ho finally rinsed in cold water, so as to stiffen tho bristles.
