Does any lady ever look into . hair :

the greater part of her time IN judiciols i
seclusion. Here shall be u woman with
small, delicate features, . small head;
aud of small stature. Instead OF max
ing the most Of the natural beauties 4
with which she Is gifted, she frizzes and
cuts and GYMS her front hair into all
sorts of uncouth forms, aud surmounts
her back hair with an enormous bali Of
somebody elses tresses. ..s,..ssa ..s.
The lady appears To have two heads,
one (the artificial) considerably larger
than the other. Tho hat has to b0
perclIed on the nose, and most pre-
poster.us result is presented. However,
there is Que virtue about the chiynon--,

rous OF trying To lead people to suppose
that the potter's knots Oh their heads
are composed of their own hal: would
be useless. For the hair iressers, anx-
ious to advertise their wares, hevc rem.
dered that deception MI impossibility.
Their shops are full Of chignons. CHG.

somebody el-e's hair. Men have their
faults. heaven knows, but in matters Of
this sort they show II II little more sense
than women. It Is fashionable to wear u

Feminine taste is a grewsone thing

that a sudden change might find ladies
with their hair, whether scanty or
abundant, plastered down tight to
their heals. So it was wi II crtnOiine.

the whole, it may be said that tho
tyranny Of fashion is worse than it was.
