oil and apply too much at one time They then com com- complain complain plain that it leaves the hair greasy greas and i sticky This trouble is easily avoided Take into consideration the fact that oil has a capacity for spreading and you I f will speedily see that a few drops will suffice Avoid too much shampooing when the hair is dull dulI faded and dry Once R a fortnight is quite often enough Have you noticed and envied the lovely sheen that Some hair has And do you know that you cnn can attain this by using vinegar in your shampoo The proper proportion is a a cup halt of vinegar to a half

will ill find it fluff fluty and glossy gloss Finally as to that laz lazy summer figure figurea a figure that has become through lack of support For the pres- pres present present ent I will merely suggest that you go goin goin in for the epsom salt bath and take a rubdown with salt in the morning be- be before before fore you ou dress The latter besides being slenderizing is most invigorating As n a substitute for the epsom salt bath try one Put one pound of bicarbonate of soda into a 1 tub of hot water adding more hot water as the water cools Sit with the tho body im- im immersed immersed
