How SHALL WE WEAR OUR HAIR
Something must be done, and. that quickly,
or we shall have all our ladyships scudding
under bare poles. The mandates of fash
ion have been over severe for three or
four years and now we are paying the
penalty OF our devotion. Eugenie's hair
Is getting thin on the top of her head
Well, she has plenty of company in that
afilction, if that is any comfort TO her.
The waterfalls, cataracts, rats, mice and
the thousand other diabolical contriyances
OF hair-dresscs, have all tended to one OBJ
,'ect-to strain al the roots of the hair BY
lying and twisting in every possible way.
The natural consequence is the downfall
of The glory of woman What shall we
do! Go back the fashions of shepherd
simplicity, and wear our own ringlets over
our shouderss Ala. for us who have
locks Ike unto the needles of the pine tree,
and whose tresses have as much spiral ten
dency as the most rigid of pokers Who
VIII come to our relief, for the waterfall
oppr' sseth the brain, and the headaches
are prevalent among Us. Let some hair
dresser arise who viii free us from this
bondage, and great will be his reward.

men disguised with masks, were upon him.

welcomed by croSds of people who came
