I SEEM to take it for granted
that most of you have neg
lected your beauty during the
Summer, but from the nature of
the complaints and inquiries I’m
beseiged with on all sides, 1 think
the attitude is justified!
It seems that every one I see
or hear from is in a panic over
the condition of their hair or
skin; what with dryness of both
skin and hair making i» sudden
appearance, tans to bleach out,
split ends to be eliminated and
general rejuvenating to be. en
tered into. So far, I’m happy to
report, figures seem to have im
proved while enjoying the out-of
door activities and that is some
thing to be grateful for. Of
course. Dame Fashion has al
lowed for the curves which now
characterize the fashionable fig
ure, and so the need of reducing
has been dispensed with to a
great extent, the majority of
women not being over-weight at
the present time.
Today we’ll discuss methods of
polishing up the tarnished crown
ing glory so that the new Fall
hats won’t be disgraced when we
don them. Next week we’ll see
what can be done about bleach
ing and refining the skin. Thus
we'll get fairly well launched on
our Fall beauty treatments rather
quickly.
For many years now the use
of hot oil applications has been
considered the best possible
method of overcoming the ill ef
fects of too much exposure to
sun and wind. From time to
time, newer and better oils and.
methods of application have been
launched and it is to one of these
I wish to bring your attention
today.
One reason why 1 favor the
special applicator depicted above,
is because the oil used in it not
only has remedial value but acts
as a shampoo as well, cleans
ing the hair thoroughly without
soap, so that none of the bene
fits of oil treatments are lost by
subsequent shampooing with al
kaline soaps to remove the ex
cess oil.
It might be well to review some
of the salient features which
characterize dry hair conditions
before entering into the details
of the special treatment to be
given in this article.
Constant exposure of the hair
to the sun and wind dries the oil
from the surface of each hair
shaft. The ducts may be func
tioning properly by sending forth
sufficient oil to give the needed
protection to the hair for normal
What One Girl Wore—
By Betty Brou n lee
THERE is no doubt about it.
Fall has arrived. One
just has to stroll on the
Avenue and note the many new
costumes to be assured that it is
the beginning of another season.
Sheer woolens in interesting
weaves seem to be most popular
for street frocks, and we noticed
many girls wearing these with
out coats on the first cool days
of the month.
Of course, for dress wear satin
has established itself as a leader
once again. Satin frocks for
Fall emphasizing the influence of
the romantic age are worn with
the new hats, and the effect is
really stunning. The silhouette,
with its old-tashioned lines, is
certainly different than it has
been for the last few seasons—
even though you don’t think it
quite as modern or as free.
There are plenty of simple
models that the conservatives can
still wear with the assurance that
they are smartly dressed. For in
stance, we saw a girl on the Ave
nue the other day wearing the
very simple and very fashionable
suit sketched here today.
It really is a jacket frock. The
dress itself has a white satin
bodice (black and white remains
one of the favored combinations)
with a cowl necklace. The skirt
flares softly from a pointed yoke.
Sparkling rhinestone buttons
fasten the very short fitted
jacket, which boasts three-quar
ter-length sleeves.
Nothing could be more appro
priate or in such excellent taste
for wear during the first cool

days of the new season. Later
this costume can be worn com
fortably under the Winter coat.

or average exposure, wnen ex
posure is more than normal, as
it is apt to be during the warm
weather period when most of us
go hither and yon without a hat,
the hair itself becomes dry and
brittle although close inspection
reveals a normal, healthy scalp
condition.
To add to the drying effect of
exposure to the sun and wind is
the drying action of the perma
nent wave most of us had early
in the season so that constant
trips to the beauty shop could
be discontinued during the Sum
mer. I wonder how many of you
continued the oil treatments
during the Summer which are so
essential to off-set the drying ef
fect of the permanent waving
process ? Had you continued this
policy, if only to insure greater
beauty for your wave, you would
not be annoyed by split ends
and a general dryness of hair!
With a normal scalp condition
and a dry hair condition, it is
necessary to supply the oil needed
to put elasticity and life into the
hair itself without flooding the
scalp. Also, it is essential that
the hair shafts be allowed to re
tain the oils they have absorbed.
This means that alkalines must be
kept away from the hair for alka
line dissipates oil.
Most soaps have an alkaline
content, no matter how good they
are as soap. That is why all
beauty experts are urging those
suffering from dry hair to avoid
the use of even bland soap until
the hair and scalp have been
brought back to a normal state.
All of us realize the cleansing
value of oil. One of the main
objections to ordinary oils, how
ever, is that they must be washed
out of the hair with a lather
produced by soap. Naturally
such treatment is more helpful
than none at all, but the oil
shampoos which require no after
lathering with soap are proving
the very thing needed under
such circumstances.
There are a number of them
on the market at present, al
though they are used mostly in
beauty shops. However, as soon
as the buying public realizes the
advantages of the soapless oil
shampoos they will be marketed
in the corner drug store as so
many other toiletries now are.
In the meantime, the treat
ments may be had in the
beauty salon, the head of the
shop frequently can be per
suaded to sell one a bottle for i
home use, or they can be pro- i
cured with the special appli- I
cator illustrated above.
Whether you have the reju
venating treatments in the
beauty salon or whether you
procure the necessary acces
sories and do the job at home,
the method should be as follows.
First all split and dry ends
should be clipped from the hair.
This is done by twisting small
strands of hair as tightly as you
can and then, while holding the
end of the twisted strand be
tween the fingers of one hand,
run the fingers of the other
lightly up the strand of hair to
loosen the ends. These loosened
ends should be clipped off with
the scissors.
When all of the dead or split
ends have been clipped from the
hair, a general massage should be
given to the scalp. This may be
done with the fingers or with a
patented vibrator as you wish.
There are se- :ral types of auto
matic massage accessories on the
market which may be employed
for toning up the muscles and
tissues of the face, neck and chest
as well as for inducing circula
tion through the scalp.
Once again let me remind you
that hair thrives only on excess
circulation and, in case you are
inclined to under estimate the
value of scalp massage, let me
suggest that massage of one kind
or another is the only way in
which excess circulation can be
brought to the scalp. Therefore,
sooner or later, every woman
must resort to some method of
scalp massage if she is to retain
the soft, lusterous texture which
is essential to beautiful hair.
Hand massage movements have
been given so many times in this
column that I hate to take suffi
cient space to outline them again
at this time. If you’ve forgotten
or missed previous articles on
the subject, you will find them
fully outlined on Pages 75 to 81
in my beauty book, Secrets of
Charm.

what to do to keep it from rusting
and the nickel on it from tarnish
ingt MRS. A. U.
Rub your coal heater well with
kerosene and stuff it with paper,
wherever possible, to keep out the
moisture. Incidentally, a few
drops of vinegar mixed with stove
polish insures wonderful results
and makes the polish last longer.
Nickel should 'be polished with
whiting, moistened wjjh alcohol,
ammonia or water.

A Five-Minute Massage of the Scalp with the Small Electric Vibrator
Stimulates the Circulation Around the Hair Roots. This Treatment
Is Then Followed by the Application of Several Steaming Hot
Towels to Open the Pores Before the Oil Is Applied.
Finished with the massage,
two or three hot towel compresses
should be wound about the head
to open the pores of the scalp
and to induce further activity of
the ducts and glands throughout
the Scalp, Jtist saturate a large
bath towel in very warm water,
wring it out slightly, and wrap it
lightly around the head. As soon
as the towel begins to cool, re
place it with a fresh, hot one.
Three of these should be ample.
And now we are ready to use
the special applicator with its
special soapless shampoo! Close
inspection of the applicator re
veals many interesting points of
construction.
The handle itself resembles the
handle of an electric curling iron,
but coming to the end where the
curlers would be we find a bul
bous affair fashioned from cast
aluminum and having sufficient
thickness to hold heat. On the
under side of the aluminum bulb
we find a rubber brush contrap

find the opening which leads into
the oil chamber which should be
filled with the special soapless
shampoo liquid. Replacing the
cap, the applicator cord is at

current turned on and the appli

rator left to heat. In five min
utes the oil will be hot enough
for use and the current is then
switched off, the heavy quality
aluminum used retaining the heat
sufficiently to keep the oil at an
even temperature until all of it
has been used.
Massage the scalp with the
rubber brush, tipping the head
from side to side as needed to
keep the applicator level so that
the oil flows evenly, until all
parts of the scalp have been
covered.
This particular oil is a highly
refined vegetable oil 'which has
been scientifically processed to
give it cleansing and remedial
value. The oil supplies sufficient
nourishment to feed the dry hair
while cleansing it. Should the
scalp be dry, too, the combina
tion of massage, nourishment and
cleansing without alkaline con
tent, soon normalizes the scalp
condition.
Ten ot fifteen minutes should
be devoted to applying the oil
and then the hair should be thor
oughly rinsed in the good old
way!
How to Make Your Own Handbag
Oilcloth Fashions This Attractive
Model That Is
Easily Cleaned
By Winifred Avery
A LADY from Minnesota asks
me to write an article
about oil-cloth. I’m not
sure that this is what she would
like to make of oil-cloth, but it
is a “good-number” anyhow. I
know for I made one myself. A
slick hand-bag always recom
mends itself to me, for it can be
wiped off, no matter how dirty
IT
or numerous the finger prints.
This bag that I have just made
is of yellow oil-cloth, lined with
yellow printed calico, with a ring
handle that is really a ten-cent
bracelet. Now that you have all
the gossip on this bag, I’ll pro
ceed to enlarge on its beginnings.
In Fig. 1, I’ve shown the shape
and size of the outside piece and
of course this covers the lining
too. You can cut this pattern
without any trouble. Fig. 3 shows
the lining, with the pockets indi
cated. You can make your pock
ets fit the things you want to
carij in them. That is the way
The Sketches at the Left Show the
Shapes and Sizes of the Various Pieces
ot the Mag and
Can Be Used
as Patterns for
Cutting Out
the Parts.
The Above Drawing Shows the
Finished Bag with Ring Handle
and Flap Folded, Note the
Trim Appearance of the
Simple Design.
When you get the pockets fin
ished on your lining, baste the
lining piece to the outside. Next
turn your attention to the inner
pocket. As you ■will see, it is not
as large as the outside piece. You
need not bother with this inner
pocket if you feel that it is not
necessary to your shopping com
fort. Sew the inner pocket to the
outside piece at point X as I’ve
indicated in the drawing. Next
sew in your zipper and then bind
the edges together with bias
tape. AH this is done before the
outside is sewed up.
The end pieces are then basted
on and stltcheU with the tape
around them. Tack the inner
pocket to the center of the side
pieces at point C. Bind the slit
for the ring to come through. The
ring is held to the purse by a
strap. The strap is attached as
I’ve shown in the sketch Fig. 4.
It only took me one morning
to make this purse—I wish I
could make the money to fill it as
fast.
