An excellent drying lotion for damp hair is made of half an ounce each of powdered bicarbonate of sods and bor- ate of soda and three ounces each of bay rum and rose water. After moistening the hair with this mixture it can be curled easily if put up on jds." Or the tongs may be if dispatch is necessary.

The hair drles under this firm treat- ment, and the resuit is a nice, even wave that will stand a good deal of weather, even that damp kind which abounds at the seashore, to the vexation of the sum- mer girl who delights in curls. The densest pea fogs and the humid summer air of the mountains may alike be indifferent to the girl who possesses another secret about making the little sugar curls that Barrie so likes to write about. It is a simple and prosaic recipe. Take the white of an egg, dilute it one-third with water, beat it a little and put it in an alirtight bottle. At night saturats a comb with the mixture and pass it through the hair until it {s well mols- tened. Divide it into strands and wrap it around on long kids. This must not be done carelessly, or the halr will eventually present a jum- bled, crinkled appearance, very different from the symmetrical waves which are to be desired. Herein lies another secret. Each strand must be as tightly twisted as & cord be- fore it is wrapped around the kid. In this way the waves are made of the same Elze. Old-fashioned bandoline is not to be de- ‘aml.:a by the girl who wants curly love ocks. It is made by pouring one pint of boil- ing water over three teaspoonfuls of quince seeds. Let it stand for several hours then straiff and thin it with water or cologne. A few drops of essence of rose or violet may be added. The styles to which society’s hair adapts itself at the various resorts this seasom may be thus analysed: Bar Harbor girls wear natural ourls, Long Branch’s run in fluffs, The Lenox lassie’s hair falls in While Newport's twines M ruffs; Down at Cape May the breezes play ‘With ringlets soft and fine, That sleek and neat, despite the heat, Are kept by bandoline.

H—Nothing is better for the walst, if you want to keep it trim and symmetrical, than an elastic exerciser. Indeed, as & walst-reducer it is a positive delight. Not only does the walst grow more sylph-like, but all the muscles of arms, shoulders and back become firmer and stronger. Facing the exerciser, and alternating right and left hand, with body erect, pull forward, upward, downward, outward. For the downward movement draw the arm quite close down to the side. With the back to the exerciser, and using both hands, pull straight forward, pull overhead, pull both hands forward under the arms.
