THE “NO-HAT” BRIGADE.
While it is well to keep the scalp dry and well , ventilated and exposed to both light and air, there does not appear to be any valid ground for the belief that going bareheaded, particularly in the sun, in any real way promotes the vigour of the hair (says Dr. Woods Hutchinson, in “Common Diseases”). Experts are unanimous in declaring that an excessive exposure of the already thinning hair to the direct rays of the sun will not only not check the process, but often accelerates it. Like the shoe, the hat, while a good deal of a nuisance in many ways and a, frequent source of inconvenience, discomfort, and absurd extravagance, is probably more helpful than harmful, not merely to th« head, but to the hair.
