Get into the “swim” of things this summer and have yourself a time! But remember . . . the rubber sit uation may mean a shortage of bath ing caps for your protection and you had better make sure that your liair will stand close-up inspection. Yes, bathing caps are on the list of things “we will probably have to do without.” So patriotically, we must put our feminine ingenuity to work to plan a summer of sun and fun on the beach or at the pool . . . without using up vital war mater ials. This means the same thing to us who love to loll in the sun at the water’s edge as well as to those who enjoy diving and speeding through the cool, clear water . . . we must all take extra care of our hair so that it will be presentable when we get outdoors. After all, water itself is certainly not harmful, even to the finest hair, though we will admit that many public pools do use harsh chemicals not particularly beneficial. However, even this shouldn’t give you too much grief if you use precautionary measures on your hair before you go out to swim ! What precautions should you take? First... please go to your beauty operator regularly throughout the summer months and let her check the condition of your hair from time to time to give it the necessary treatment it needs to combat the sunning and swimming you are ex posing it to. There are many fine products on the market that she will recommend to keep it in tip top shape. In fact, the cosmetic industry realizes the devastating effects of summer sports on your hair and has developed oils and shampoos that will eliminate the worry of dry and falling hair. These preparations must, of course, be used regularly to have the desired effect and to keep that summer dryness from get ting out of hand. It’s a good idea too, to wear an attractive bandana tied demurely over your head when you are out for a long time ... it keeps your hair from burning from too much exposure. Then, if you have even the slight est touch of premature grayness in your hair, you’ll want to have spe cial attention given to that. The summer sun is unkind to graying hair and your reflection in the water is anything but lovely if you have bold gray streaks on your head. In a bathing suit you are what you are and nothing else. You can’t hide figure faults, nor can you cover up a bad complexion with a lot of make-up. The same is true of your hair . . . the elaborate coiffure which often helps hide grayness Is out of place on the beach. So if you do have tell-tale streaks in your hair, you’ll want to have them touched up before you go out. For this, let your beauty operator recommend a time-proven product that is not affected by water. She will help you make your hair look its original loveliness at very little expense to you. Thus, with just a little care and very little trouble on your part, you can be sure that you will be lovely and attractive all summer, no matter where you are or how much you get out in the open. So do your part to take care of your looks. Help the government by not moaning and groaning because Uncle Sam wants swimming cap rubber for war materials. Let’s show the government that the women of America can do without as easily and cheerfully as the fighting men overseas. What are your beauty problems? Write: Marie Downing, Larieuse Beauty Bureau, 3509 Lindell Blvd., St. Louis, Mo., and she will be glad to answer them. Be sure to enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
