per per OF St our ptematnreiy gray young women on
stylish, attracts attention. The hair ia nor

to room. Golden locks are at a discount

style. The highest priced wigs are gray, and
not black or auburn. Such Is the tyranny of
fashion that young girls with black and auburn
hair are crazy to have a bleached head.
