TEN-MINUTE TREATMENTS

RAGS TO THE RESCUE.

In addition to your regular toilet, make a habit of devoting five or ten minutes daily to any weak beauty point, changing the treatment from time to time as a particular trouble vanishes. Regularity and persistence can achieve wonders.

Perhaps your hair has a faint, curly tendency, which hot iron waving would son odestrov. Yet.the mild kink isn’t enough to make your side pieces look pretty. Bright idea! The old-fashioned curl rags, costing nothing, which we moderns seem to have entirely forgotten, wil ldo the trick. While still nightly-clad in the morning, brush out your hair and twist it up into rags torn from clean old linen. Wear a- rubber cap to your bath. When completely dressed, remove the rags and you’ll have curled ide pieces which a wet day can’t spoil, since they were put in by dry heat. If you’re going dancing at night, curl-rag your hair again while dressing.

Even quite, straight tresses will take a rag curl, if the locks are damped with water or a curling fluid before being twisted up, and the rags are left in rather longer.
