Three types of products, based on three dif- ferent theories are offered women and men. (1) Those which deflect light or act as mechanical barriers to turn back the rays so they will not reach the skin. .- (2) Materials which con- vert the character of the rays to ren- der them innocuous, by altering their wave-lengths or partially absorbing them... (3) Preparations which exert an action on the skin itself, perhaps hardening it (like vinegar) to make it less susceptible to the sun's burn. Such products contain tannic acid."

Part the hair off centre, have a short wave, then use four big rollers to roll up the ends.

This style will not look well unless kept shampooed and well brushed. Let it practically dry before you roll it up. This is an excellent simple style for those who

are revolting against the fussier type of hair dress, as it is easy to keep neat and to care for and is young looking.

Most girls to-day, of course, have permanents if their hair isn't wavy or curly, At the studio, where actresses can have daily attention to their hair, we give very light perman- ents that last no more than a month- just the ends of the hair, as a rule ́since the girls always have their hair

done every day.

If you are having a commmercial permanent, however, I suppose. I needn't tell you to have them per-« manent only a halo of hair around hair the face and the ends of the in back, leaving the back of the hair entirely flat. With this you can man- age the new hair styling much better.
