Kcw Way to Make Hair Curl.
Quince seed tea Is one of the new
est recipes for making the hair curl.
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
