Naturally, not the little one but its mother is to blame. If one has not time to give the required care to curls or long braids, then short-cropped locks are the only remedy. But a mother must be unusually busy if she cannot devote at least ten or fifteen minutes a day to combing the hair of the wee one so dear té her. Constant “grooming’ is neces- sary. Persistent attention will make thin hair thick and dry, brittle locks soft and ~ pliable. Use a brush by firmly and gently pass- Ing it over the scalp and down to the very ends of the hair at every stroke. If the locks are tangled, divide the hair into small strands and begin the combing at the ends. Never break one hair if it can be avoided. After a thorough brushing and comb- ing the head is ready for the shampoo. No harm can result from a weekly wash if the "'hair is heavy and oily. If it is light, fluffy and dry, showing that the ofl glands are not well supplied, care should be taken not to scrub the head too often. After the wash be just as careful to thoroughly dry the hair, other- wise it will soon smell musty and be as full of dust and dirt as ever. For the first water use plenty of soap, rinse well, then a shampoo preparation caa be used with good effect. About as good a shampoo as can be made is as follows: Two ounces of soap, the julce or one lemon, the yolk or one egg and ha'f a pint of distilled water. Put the scup and water in a saucepan and stir over the fire till the soap is melted. TR TR T AT AT TR k< ®orrect Way of * / \ B dmn oo b - .
