It is made by putting a lablesr on ful of quince seed into a pint of wa ter and boiling it. The clear tea then is drained off. Use this to u-ois-ten the hair before putting It Into curlers. The glycerine and rose wa ter treatment suits certain hair. To make it, a teaspoonful of glycerine Is added to half a cup of rosewater, and used lu the manner already de scribed. Orange flower water spray ed upon the front hair before it Is waved will belp to keep the coiffure a good shape. But the dampness must be well dried before the balr is curled or the tresses will scorch and change color. Hair that bangs limp can be made brisker by a good shake In the air. It also mar be sprinkled with tepid water and fin ned dry. Obstinate hair In soma cases is beneficially treated by the use of olive oil poured upon ths hair and permitted to remain on for s Quarter of sa hour. The balr then Is combtd out and ventilated, after vblcb. It Is lightly sprayed with hot wtvsr to remove. ye lujwauous ell Disinfectants. Disinfecting Defies Disease.
