The brush is With this held firmly the hair grasped and loosely with the left hand the hair is brushed with a slow, gliding motion. every strand being brushed up, down, right, left, in semicircles from the forehead to the center of the head, then from the nape of the neck upward to the same point. This operation requires from haif an hour to an hour: at the end of the time the head is all in a glow, and the hair glossy, elastic and alive with color. This treatment, which, of course, can only be given by a person possessed of 2 magnetic touch, feeds the hair. by di- recting a fuller flow of blood to the hair follicles. One chief reason why hair fades and falls out is because it is not fed. Once a week the magnetic treatment is necessary, with a dafly manipulation of the head every night with the. tips of the fingers dipped in tepid water. If the hair ic very dry dip tne fingers in perfumed ofl and rub it well inty the roots of the hair, as a final stage of the process. Use only & very littfe oil.

Two brushes are necessary for the toilet of the hair—a penetrating brush and a polishing brush. The penetrating brush is made of strong, elastic hairs, but not so hard or coarse as to irritate the skin. The polishing brush should be made of fine, soft hairs. thickly studded. It may not always be possible to coms mand the services of an expert for this treatment of the hair. In such case one may be one’s own cperator, and by care- fully following directions in regard to manipulation. combing and brushing ob- tain nearly as good results A Careful Dist Necessary.” ’ That there is a relation between the scalp and the stomach is a fact upon which the wise woman ponders, and reg- ujates her dietary accordingly. Certain Toods are detrimental to the growth of the hair and others nourish it, Baldness is cauged, more or less, by indigestion and dyspep: and gray hairs, too, often ac- cumulate from the same causes. Women who have the st hair live principally upon fruite, grains and vegetables, Vege- tables and cerea halr - tonics; ton much meat and millk cause atrophy of the roots, and, of couvse, the hair comes out as a result of this condition. Milk is the poorest diet for the hair: the loss of hair in fever patients is partly due to feeding them almost entirely on milk. Nor are tea and coffee much better as promoters of haif growth. If the hair is falling out cat little meat and drink no milk; live upon frult and vegetables. Fruit gives luxuriant locks, especially those containing iron. One authority mentions prunes, cranberries and spinach as necessary articles of diet, and adviges eating with duc regard to the dlbumen and gelatin required for giving color and Best-Known Club Women.on the Pacific Coast & — - “The Best Known Club Wo- men of the Pacific CoastP” Do ' you know who they aref Or. | in knowing who they are, j bave you ever studied their personalities to know why | they should be considered the | “best known”?

Help must merely tlde those who need it over the rough places. The sick must helped only until they are able to do for themaelves. It is not true social sclence to thke out of one's pocket merely to put inte another's. In her report of the girls’ club, an or- ganization ‘‘to promote gocial re'at'ons and to stimulate a desire for studles among girls: employed during the day," she shows what zeal may accomplish. “What is the Porieous Club? In th's bustling, club-ridden land why shonid we be asked to pause and take an interest in the Porteou “Firstly, because it iz young ard ten- der—a veritable babe among female clubs —and the maternal eplrit which yearns over all fledgelings should make our hearts go out to this birdlet, Just leaving the nest and trying its wings. “Becondly, because the Porteous is a hew experiment {n clubs—an attempt to lighten the lot of'the w ary toller by the interchange of mutual sympethies and ex- ercise of mutual aspirations. The ordin- ary club cldims the woman of lelsure; the Porteous is for her who labors with her | days, followed by hands and has scant time for the pleasan byways of culture and refinement. “Thirdly. because every attempt to ‘lev- el up' the ruts and furrows in the path of the working waman or girl should ap- peal to her sisters all bver the land as an incentive and example. The success or failure of every such attempt acts directly on the future of the nation, for if the workingman is the nation's bone and sinew the workingwoman is its marrow." The club gives attention to a cooking | class, grammar lessons, health talks. lit- erary meetings. social meetings, physical culture, choral singing, sewing and ncedle- work lessons. All these things go on in their own clubrooms. Mrs. Cornwall writes: “I wish my readers could accompany me to the prettiest little clubrooms in San Francisco. A home it is to many of the girls in the most restful sense. The M- ting-room, with its warmth and comfort, its cozy chairs. its plano invitingly open, greets the weary one who has perhaps passed her day amid depressing surround- ings, and she realizes straightway that life holds something worth living for. Be- yond the sitting-room lies the combined dining-room and kitchen, ‘spotlessly clean, shining with the polish left by willing hands, its blue and white china standing invitingly, its gas stove ready for active service. Here the tired girl suddenly re- yives: with the housewifely instinct upon her she throws aside hat and cloak, pro- duces the provisions she has purchased on the way and proceeds to cook the tiny meal, which has to be merrily discussed and cleared away before the evening's oc- cupations begin. When the hour arrives she is refreshed, cheered, full of renewed energy.” And this is only one of the works ac- complished under the guidance of this woman who places herself down—a long way down—on the list of successful club women. be | brushed dally, buty a particular E1LONDIE TP Rt BrAUTY treated as though it were a ga~den, each halr a little plant that must have special care—cutting, water and air.
