On the Care of False Hair.

In a brochure on the toilet “by a professional beauty,” a short chaptei is devoted to false hair, the care and use of it. Probably few women who are obliged to wear false hair give it any thought after it is laid on the dressing-table. This authority asserts, however, that it should be aa carefully brushed and combed every night as natural hair; only in thia way can it be kept clean and fresh. It is also suggested that it be put in a covered box of sandal wood whenever it is not on the head. In a New York woman’s dressing-room is a small box table with a lid. It is ol soft wood painted with pink enamel paint inside and out. To a curious visitor its owner disclosed the interior, which is divided into several compartments of irregular lengths, at the bottom of each of which is a silken sachet filled with Florentine prris and violet powder. Switches, cuffs, and curls rested lightly in theii proper nests. “A notion of my maid,” explained the woman, whose hail matched that in the box, with a laugh, “to preserve and perfume mad* ame’s coiffures.”
