If You

must

your

hair

DO not approve of bleaching the hair if you can possibly avoid it. But if it must be done I am all for it being done well. Therefore, it is far better for you to know the tricks of the trade than to continue muddling along in ignorance and slowly but certainly ruining your hair.

NEVER attempt to bleach your hair unless you are a

blonde or a near blonde in type, It is foolish for women with naturally dark hair to attempt to bleach it as

it only makes their skin look horribly discoloured.

One sure way of ruining your hair is to add peroxide

to the rinsing water each time your hair is shampooed. This merely continues to dry the hair and it is only

For quite long hair the ends are treated last and the peroxide diluted once again.

Some people prefer a soft tooth brush to cotton wool for applying the mixture. The whole operation should take from six to fifteen minutes, according to the thickness of the hair.

TT is hard to say a deânito time for the bleaching to be effected as this depends on the original hair, its texture of the colour, and the final tone desired. It may be anything from ten to forty minutes. But the hair should be carefully examined at the end of... each ten minutes.

A little brilliantine should be ap plied to the bleached lengths or # little non-medicated liquid soap, You can melt castile soap for this purpose.

WHY DO Husbands

Leave HOME?

Cards Stacked in Wivce' Favour, but they Play Their Hands Badly

By a Husband

Husbands do leave home. According to divorce statistics, the number who adopt this method of trying to squeeze a little extra something out of living is in- creasing. And yet it shouldn't be so. The average wife, if she only knew it, has the cards well stacked in her favour when it comes to playing a game against life in which an- average husband is the stake.
