THE SARATOGA WAVE,
said Mrs. Thompson. Is the principal
article now in cuiffures, and Tor II l
claim originality and ingenuity, espe-
ciaIlv for the mode by which II IS ad-
iusted or fastened to the head. \ lady
having 4 poor head Of hair, which pre-
vents her from dressing IN the prevail

braid. coil or wave without the posi-
bility OF detection. This will fully de

Mrs. Thompson then took the pins
out II by one, and smoothing the hair
