Now it. la the hat plus hot weather i that raises the most trouble in sum-i sum-i mer. If exposed to the air the mois- ture of the hair evaporates without injury to the hair, but if a hat Is worn I for any length of time this perspira- tion remains on the hair, with the result re-sult that the hair becomei. lifeless and all but unmanageable.
