"BELLE" BRITAIN ON HEAD DRESSES

"BELLE" BRITAIN ON HEAD DRESSES.
Belle Britain is down on artificial head
dresses, as worn by some ladies she has
met with. She writes like sensible wo-
man. IF she was man, she could not

woman like the natural glory of clean
soft, simply ARA aged head of hair. IF
[ were man, should almost feel as if
would like to put my baud on such a head
smooth it, pet it, kiss it, and ask bless
ing on it. But huge mass Of braided
conceits, stuck full Of pins and artificial
flowers, looking like a spread eagle in front
and spread peacock behind, smelling of
greese and curling tongs--ugh''

sadness of the ocean?' Soon one little
girl raised her hand, flushed with the

mittee man, proud that the examiners
should see tho talent of their system.
The little expounder, after one or two
bushes, said Why, the salt fish, sir"
This natural cause hadn't struck the com
mittee.
