When Your Hair Has That "Run-Down" Look.

There is a general lowering of vitality during the spring months and the hair is very quick to res pond to such changes in bodily health.

When the hair becomes

It is for this reason that the hair requires a little extra attention iner than once a week. the spring. if it is to remain in per- fect condition

Particular attention should be paid to brushing the hair. Clean liness is essential to health, and brushing docs for the hair what washing does for the face.

Like washing, it should be prac tised twice daily; first thing in the morning and last thing at night.

At least four brushes should be used. This sounds rather extra- vagant, but, except for the initial outlay, it is not really so.

Four Brushes Best.

Four brushes, used in rotation, will last more than three times as long 19 two brushes normally would.

Use a clean brush every day and remember to wash the soiled one. The bristles of a good brush take from two to three days to become thoroughly dry.

Therefore, by using four brushes in rotation. one of the four is always in perfect condition for brushing the bair.

Providing the twice-daily brush ing is carried out regularly, a good tonic is a great aid in keeping life and lustre in the hair.

The majority of hair tonics are combinations of a mild antiseptic and

oily substance For greasy hair choose a tonic in which the oil has been diluted with rather a large amount of spirits.

For dry hair the oil should pre dominate. It is a good plan to make certain of this by adding a few drops of pare olive oil to a lotion before using

During the spring it is natural for the head to shed some of its hair, and unless this becomes exces aive, there is no reason to become alarmed.

In some districts where the water is very hard it is necessary co soften before a permanent leather can be obtained. Never use soda or borax, for this purpose.

Liquid ammonia is much more efficient and, as it is perfectly volatile, no injurious salts are ap plied to the hair which require very thorough rinsing to remove.

When rinsing the hair, always add ammonia to the rinsing water until it slightly smells of it. This is very important. It is quite im- possible to rinse nway soapy lather by using hard water.

Directly the hard water touches) the lather, the soap-foam breaks down and is converted into an in- scluble sticky scum which it is almost impossible to remove from the hair without shampooing it a second time.

Where the Specialist Can Help,

The first thing to do when you notice that your hair is looking "run down" is to pay a visit to a reliable beauty parlour-the Darelle Beauty Shoppe would be my choice in Hong Kong-and get expert ad vice. Brushing and cleansing are right and good, but the manner and Frequency with which it is advis able to do either depend on the con- dition of your hair, 'a factor which the expert alone is capable of de- eiding.

There are some women whose hair is so delicate that it cannot stand the ordinary shampoo or vigorous brushing, or again, your hair may need oil or scalp massage to give it strength and gloss,

Her hair, is or should be, every woman's crowning glory and it deserves as much care as she gives to her complexion and the choice of her clothes.

WHAT DOES YOUR HOME OFFER

YOUR CHILD?

INFLUENCES AT WORK ON THE CHILD MIND.

By the atmosphere of your home, the spiritual nature of your child is moulded. Is it a place of happi- aese and high endeavour, has it abiding ideals of honesty, courage, tolerance and mutual helpfulness, do serenity and love dwell there?

The child's unfolding spiritual development is fostered neither by preachings nor rules, but by the atmosphere in which he daily lives and grows.

The creation of this atmosphere cannot be begun too early. All the qualities of an adequate and re- sourceful personality, the psycho logists tell us, have their begin- nings early in a child's life.

Nothing when directly affects the spiritual or physical health or hygiene of the child is withou: pre- found meaning.

A variation of this fashion is the hat which has a wide brim hanging jow over the cheek and ear on one side, and on the other is turned smartly up to disclose a diamond brooch from which hangs an im- merse aquamarine drop that gives the effect of as earring.

DOLLY VARDON HATS, The Dolly Vardon Hat Shop bas, as usual, a most fascinating dis play. Over one hundred new hats arrived this week in various dil ferent styles, of which I have only space to mention a few.

Leghorn is going to be the choice of many smart women this summer, and is particularly amart with black crin as its partner. One model has the crown of white leghorn and a wide drooping brim of black crin. A wide swathe of black satin ribbon fastened by a small dimanté pin makes a very snart finish. An- other large hat of white leghorn is trimmed with a gwathe of ́ black satin ribbon and has a white camelia posed on the brim. A be coming poke-bonnet-cloche, has a crown of black crin and brim of -white legborn, with a narrow black ribbon and two white camelias as trimming.

Grin Straw has taken a very im portant place this summer. It is new, however, to find it used in con- junction with another favourite, printed silk. Gaily printed silk is used to underline the crowns of many large crin capelines, and is sometimes used to bind the edge of the brima Brims are also . bound with a braid of varnished straw, or underlined at the edge with gros grain to give them a slight stiffen. ing. Some of the very fine erin straws have a band round the crown and another across the top, the effect in wear being that of a de- corative bandeau warni over the hair, and fastened, generally, with a small jewelled pin. There is a very charming hat stressing this feature which is carried out in cocoa brown crin, with ribbon to tone, and another in oyster colour with lido blue ribbon with a narrow lemon edge.

Another smaller cape- line is made of tulle-fine oyster crin covered with blonde lace, and bound round the crown with beige gro grain ribbon.
