When Sleeping.

It is well to sleep from Infancy with the head, uncovered, as the hair thus retains Its beauty longer. On retir ing the hair should be raised high above the ears, without pulling, plaited loosely In a single braid and tied with a silk or cotton ribbon. Avoid wearing, starched nightcaps, as the starch is injurious to the hair. When old age approaches It may be well to wear nightcaps. Brush the hair well, using a. soft brush, on going to bed and in the morning. The best brushes are made with short bristles. If • the hair is combed from the roots downward without being divided In several parts, much harm may be done to It. The hairs would certainly be broken off, become uneven and could never be made to look cared for. It is an excellent thing to smooth the hair with the hands.
