THE VALUE OF GRAY HAIR.-It might
be that ladies who look with so
much dread on the first gray hair would not
so depreciste its value, could they but realize
the enormous sums expended for Its use. For
instance, In our own city n much admired
wifo of q very prominent official tsaid lady
of silver hair paid for one braid the sum of
FOO in Paris. She, wishing short time since
to purchase q like one, went to = prominent
hair-dresser in this city, who informed her
that for half the above sum one superior
could be procured. Not q Partisan one, tits
true, was obtained but the luxuriant locks of
once aiiluent lady who was compelled to
part with "woman's glory" to procure the
necessaries Of life, while the more fortunate
possessor for the sum Of $50 Is credited with
having such lovely suit of hair.
