The Mysterious Swiich-An Explanation
More startling than Lucid.

The danger OF wearin. falls, hair Is illus
trated in a new and torcihle way by III" re-
cent experience of Massachusetts dame.
Fancying that her natural charms required
artificial enhancement. she innocentlv par
chased one OF those mysterious and tale
like appendagcs for the female head known.
we believe, by the technical name of
switches" 1t was Il switch equally
beautiful and becoming. and for brief
space all was hair and happiness. But
presently madam began to feel an I'M
pleasant sensation about the throat every
time she assumed the foreign locks-n
point of fact. a choke. She would. in her
own strikin. and piscatorial language. get
as red rs IA boiled lobster. and gasp like a
pOypus.' dreadful symptoms which dlSap-
peared as soon as the switch was removed.
What was this mystery no mortal could cx-
plain, SO madam, being n true Boston
woman called IL medium. and the "mcdi-
UNI called II spirit from the vastly deep.
Then did this spirit unfold long and rN-
cui s;ve tale which, condensed. was to the
effect that .'she was the woman from whose
head the hair had been cut, just after size
was-hung.'-and that a choke would a.
ways attend the wearing of that particular
switch. Furthermore, this instructive
spirit observed that all false hair retained
more or less of the personality OF its
original owner and that this was the cause
vi much insanity and many criminal lido
svnrracics in womc... Which is an rXpla-
nation rather more startling than lucid.
