SOME COMMENTS ON EVENING-DRESS FASHIONS.

"Almost it would seem that the shoemakers are in league with the makers of these brilliantly lighted glase floors," laughed a woman the other night as a party of us sat at 4 table on the edge of the floor at London's newest dance club.

The rest of the party smiled, then immediately focussed their atten- tion on the slippers of the women on the floor while the lights beneath flashed crimson, water green, coldly i white, dazzling blue, and various other shades.

THE WISE WAY IN SHAMPOOING.

HAIR DRESSING HINTS.

TEN. DIFFERENT POWDERS TO CHOOSE FROM.

"Manufacturers of shampoo pow- ers realise how important it is to use only the right powder when washing the hair," said a member of a well-known firm of makers of shampoo powders.

"A blond needs a different pow- der to that a brunette would use,. and naturally dry hair needs differ- ent treatment to hair that is not so dry. Consequently we make ton different kinds of shampoo powder to suit every taste."

"If a lather of soapsuds is used

it should be mixed in the basin," said a hairdresser, "rather than the [soup rubbed into the hair, and the juice of half a lemon squeezed into the last rinsing water brings the soap cut of the hair without difficul- ty." A good make of shampoo powder is recommended because the powder quickly dissolves. With ene well-known 'make' a lemon rins- ing powder is sold.

For Rinsing and Drying.

"In districts where the water is hard it is a good plan to rinse the hair in rain-water, which can be collected in a tub or bucket for the purpose. Drying the hair, too, quickly before a hot fire is liable to make the onds split," said the ex- pert. "The best way is to dry it If those who have by fanning.
