as to be talked to- He believes the right to
talk rests solely upon himself.
Hair don't cost much does it, remarked
the reporter.
Mr.. Muller turned and looked really
startled that any man i'll his senses should
make such remark. Then reaching down
into drawer he took out switch of beauti-
ful hair three feet long and as fine as gsssam-
en-
How much will you give for this?' he
asked.
Tne reporter declined to buy, but thought
thing.
Zone hundred in gold, said Mr. Muller,
and he laid the switch back in its place.
THE WARNING PRICE OF HAIR.
sHair costs like the devil" continued he
land IN tell you all about it. 1t brings all
the way from four to thirty dollars all ounce,
according to its length and quality. SO yeu
| see it is sonletimes worth more than its weight
| in geld. This is more than you can say of
| anvthing else 1 know of. These short switches
you see are cheap things and are made into
rats and curls and Cos, four dollars All ounce.
When hair gets two feet long it begins to
command price and real Eue hair IS worth
ten dollars. Every inch over two feet adds
dollar to tho value of the hair per ounce,
and every inch over three feet five dollars,
measured to the EXTREMIST point. Hair that
has a natural wave or curl to it and is pretty
long commands fancy prices, like the switch
first showed you"
WHITE HAIR.
81 suppose this white hair is the cheapest |
of al? p asked the itemizer.
"Guess you amt very we'll posted con-
tinaed Muller. as he took down bunch Of
white hair about foot long.
Now here is some pure white hair and if |
you want it you must pay thirty dollars an
ounce anywhere you go, and Not darned
cent less. The reason it is SO high is because
it is picked cut of perhaps ton of human
hair. White hair to command a high price
must be of uniform iineness. Now there is
big difference in womens hair and then lot
Of fine hair has been serted ont it must be
graded according to it's 6neness. This is an
awful job, and in France where most of the
hair Of commerce Comes from women are en-
ployed to grade the hair and they can tell the
grade hair belongs in by touch of the
finger White hair comes high because old
people when their locks become white take ;
little care of them.
SURE ENOUGH ROMANCE |
Where does all of this hair come frem?'
''Oh most of it comes from France. The
peasant girls come ia and sell their hair when
It gets long enough The finest hair We get q
comes as rule from the peasant girls of
Southern France. In the north it is coarser.
they say that hair designate peoples temper :"
sent and guess that's so too, for the real
upeiine hair comes from the upper crust.
Vow here is switch of the finest hair | ever
aw and il is worth over hundred dollars
Sow let ME tell you where got it. About
en- years ago man came along here who was
AIKEN sick. He sent for me and said he had
whisp Of hair he would like to sell me- This n
as the ene see how glossy it is, and over .
hree feet long Well l bought it for Fifty
ollars and the next day he sent for me again
nd says he: I guess I'm gone up. That
air has history attached and it Came from,
le head Of a countess who Was worth mil
ens.
