A woman is only as chic as her coiffure, it was revealed recently in an interview with Kay Francis, the film player.

"The well-groomed woman never economises on shampoos and hair treatments." declares Miss Francis.; "If economy must be practised, it should affect such items as frocks,

"Every woman should visit a beauty shop for an expert wave twice a month, and home treatment should supplement these bi-monthly appointments."

Precepts for the personal care and mode of dressing the hair formulated by Miss Francis:—

are

1. A hot oil treatment should

precede every shampoo.

2. Melted, non-alkaline soap should

be used in the shampoo.

3. Diluted lemon-juice forms the best rinse for both blonde and brunette hair.

4. A anal rinse comprising five drops of rose of geranium oil

5. 1f a water-wave is used, the hair should not be combed for three hours.

6. The short ends of hair thut frame the face should be curled

up every night with water and hairpins.

7. Before retiring, the hair should i

be carefully combed and coif- fured, the moistened ends pinned up, and then covered by anet bandeau that will press the waves and curls into place during the night.

8. The forehead should never be

covered by waves or dips.

9. As few hairpins as

should be used in dressing the hair, since a soft natural ap- pearance is desirable.

10. A bottle of brillantine should be on every woman's dressing table, to assist in keeping the

hair shining and sleek at all times.

GOODBYE ALL!

WHEN THE SHINGLE DIED,

A few months age, we grow our shingles into long bobs, which were either loosely waved, or more likely turned into a roll which rested along the nape of the neck. At first thought it would appear' that, with the new hats the roll would continue to solve the problem of straggly ends; but when one of the newest hats is given its correct position declining to the right front, the squared look of the head pro- duced by the roll at the nape is definitely wrong. It is so entirely at variance with the line establish- ed by the hat. Some rebels have endeavoured to meet the altur- tion by chopping off their pains-) takingly acquired two Dr three inches of hair, and have gone back to the good old shingle, but unfor- tunately the shingle is not a really good revival for the new hats.
