SHAMPOO FOR THE JOURNEY

Bimp(e Preparation That Is Little Trouble to Carry and Will Prove Great Comfort. Every woman has known the misery of needing a shampoo after a journey and not being able to have it at once because of a lack of facilities. The hot and cold water may be handy, but not the shampoo medium. So prepare this before you leave home and carry it along in a tightly-stoppered bottle — a three-ounce vial would do. Boil castile soap slaved to a powder—about two heaping tablespoonfuls—in a little Water, putting in about two saltspoonfuls of washing sodfe. When getting ready to wash the hair massage a wee bit of cold cream into the scalp, then slightly wet the hair and work in the soap Jelly. 01? liquid—into the scalp of course. Rinse as usual,' trying to keep the successive waters at an eVen temperature. It is the sudden change from hot to cold water which makes the hair harsh as it is so often found to be after the most careful shampoo. The reason given by the beauty people for boiling the soap used in shampoos is that this preparation makes it still more bland; if the hard cake is rubbed' directly upon the hair it is bound to be harsh and less bright than if the head is washed by a regularly-prepared soap as directed.
