SIMPLE CAP FOR SHAMPOO

Merely a Rubber Band That Is Fastened Around the Temples and Has Eyeholes. Two New York women, who it is logical to presume were hairdressers, have devised a shampoo cap which is one of the simplest of all the apparatuses designed to give comfort in washing the hair. It is nothing more nor less than a wide band of-rubber tflth a clasp at the points of intersection and a little window set in the front to provide an eyehole. As will be understood, the rubber band is fas-

tened around the temples at the roots of the hair and the face is completely protected from the soapy water. An unpleasant feature of a shampoo without some protection of this sort is the tendency of the soapy water to run into the eyes, mouth and nose. Equipped with the cap here shown a woman may have her hair washed or wash it herself without worrying about this annoyance and if she is doing the Job herself she can keep her eyes open and see what she is doing.
