BEAUTY FOR BROWN HAIR

Are you one of the betwixt and between w’ho cannot be classed as either blonde or brunette? If so, and your hair is one of your best points, as it so often is, here is a very special hint that will greatly enhance its beauty, bring out all its bright lights, and make it as soft and glossy as spun silk. Get a couple of ounces of rosemary tops—any chemist or herbalist sells them —and put a tablespoonful well piled up of the tops into a pint of boiling water. Cover and leave to stand for half an hour. Do this before you shampoo your hair. Then mix and egg shampoo and thoroughly shampoo the hair. To make the . egg shampoo beat up an egg with a tablespoonful of warm water, a teaspoonful of finely shredded white Castile soap, and a tablespoonful of bay rum. Work this well into the roots and through the hair. Rinse off in clear cold water, then give a second rinsing, and to this add the water in which the rosemary tops have steeped. Strain it off carefully so as not to add the tops as well as the liquid to your rinsing water, then dry the hair by fanning, and just before it is quite dry brush over it a little lavender water and arrange your water-waving combs. Pin an old veil over your head and leave it for 20 minutes. When you take off the veil and remove the combs your hair will be beautifully wavy, soft and glossy, and the wave will last much longer than when done with plain water. The use of the lavender water will also give the hair a delicate perfume which is very fascinating.—H.E.S., in the, Daily Chronicle.
