HINTS FOR THE BUSY HOUSEWIFE use by hand, which may now be obtained at very reasonable prices. It is important that these hair dryers should be of bakelite or some similar non-metallic substance so as to avoid shocks in case of a faulty lead. Brushes and Combs should be kept scrupulously clean; and wash your hair slides at the same time. How to Clean Hair-brushes and Combs. — Make a good, hot, soapy lather, or put a few drops of ammonia in hot water. Dip the brushes, bristles downwards, into the water, keeping the backs and handles as free from the water as possible. Move the bristles up and down in the water until they are clean. Rinse in cold water, then shake well. Wipe the handles and backs, but not the bristles. Set to dry in the sun if possible. To clean combs, brush up and down between the teeth of the comb in warm soapy water with a small nail brush specially kept for the purpose. THE CHILDREN'S HAIR The hair of school-children should be washed every week. They mix with other children so much that the only way to ensure freedom from scalp troubles is absolute cleanliness. Each child should have his or her own comb and brush, if possible, and should learn to keep these clean. If the girls have long hair it should be kept plaited during school hours. WHEN THE UNPLEASANT HAPPENS When your children go to school and mix with others not so well cared for as themselves, Page Thirty-six
