THE LOADS OF FALSE HAIR
that have worried our scalps and drained ou1
purses for half-a-dozen yea1s arc to be consigned
10 their proper tombs, and cur OWN insignificant
tresses made to do dutyby themselves. That is
those WHO can dispense with e1traneous locks
will do 30, and those whose hirsute possessioua
have beentoo limited by Nature will use as little
as may be OF somebody's else. Indeed. SO much

to repeat it in regard to hair-dressing And vet.
| IN looking back at the manner of arranging hair
1or the last four centuries, one can find the orig
inal OF every fashion that has been prominent IN
the present generation. Even the coquettish
Pompadour, " which We are prone to fancy the
famous beauty devised for The grrciug Of lar
peculiar charms, was the chief delight Of other
famous beauties two centuries ere ehe blazed
er. go unkingly a life.
The single broad braid behind turned m
from the neck and fastened with q bow to the
crown Of the head. is only repetition Of tie
way hair was done up IN 1873, when the gar
monts We know as polonaiscs we're also first
worn. So it is with all our styIca however nav
they seem to Us.
