- - t
I There are always the well-known
and semi-humorous methods, such as
sayinft brunettes are quick-tempered
or blondes are keener in their mental
eativity. But there is real common
sense in just noticing whether the
hair is well kept to judpe a woman's
neatness, or in looking at her style of
arranging; her hair, to decide
whether or not she hus good taste. If
j you are one of the few who try to
i make the most of your hair, remem
ber that it is not advisable to wash
the hair with any cleanser made for
all purposes, but always use some
good preparation made expressly for
shampooing. You can enjoy the very
best by getting some canthrox from
your druggist and dissolving a tea'
spoonful in a eup of hot water, when
j your shampoo is all ready. After
i its use the hair dries rapidly with
uniform color. Dandruff, excess oil
and dirt are dissolved and entirely
disappear. Your hair will be so
I fluffy that it will look much heavier
, than it is. Its lustre and softness will
' also delight you, while the stimulated
scalp gains the health which insures
hair growth. Advertisement.
