The Glory of woman.

Sew York, was that of the Marquise Con-
cep,ion Montslyo de Querve of Cuba She
stopped Tor month at the Fifth Avenue,
,ast fail with her husband, the Marquis
her parents, and brother. and ten servants.
The Marquise de Querve was one Of the
i,sosi beautiful women in the world. She
was tall, straight as an arrow. and her fig
ire exQuisitelv modelled The guests at
the hot | would watch to see her go into
Mallard's for hon bons, and gentlemen
would bribc her maid to tell when she was
going out riding. that they might see her
enter and leave her carriage. She seemed
perfectly unconscious of her superb beau
~, and made no attempt to enforce it by
using her wonderful dark eyes. which
were childlike in their candor. Her COM
plex.on was soft and pure as a white rose,
her lips finely curved, and bright white
teeth. AMI her hair" here the enthusi-
astic hairdresser paused to take breath.
"Anl her Lairg" asked tine writer.
'Was eighty inches lopg-ovcr two
Yards il was tremendously thick, and of
lovely FURNISHED brown, fine as thought,
and when Loose fell in great ripping waves
onto the floor. Ii was such weight and
ere that she wished TO have it cut off, but
her husband, who was very much in love
with her, was proud of it, and would not
listen 10 such an idea i used to dress it
for her every day. and when took the
pins out, after first putting a linen cloth
over the crrpet. it would fall in perfect
cascade, and it was difficult to comb and
brush it without tumbling over it The
Msrquise liked simplicity, and wore the
plsinest colffuTe imaginable-two massive
braijs wound round her shapely head and
fastened with diamond dagger; over her
forehead a few short wavy locks-not
banks, understand. She never asked my
price, but gave me a S. gold piece when
1 finished every merning."
'Is that the Usual price:'
"Oh, no; 81 or $l50 is the customa-
~ charge, but then it takes only twenty
minutes or half an hour to dress an ordI-
nary suit Of hair. 1t took me full hour
10 comb and brush the hair of Mime. la
Marquise before L could braid it. and the
braids had to be as smooth as tin, and as
even as if woven by machinery, to please
her,
Are there many people who can boast
of such tresses Z"
e mo, indeed; perhaps il is only once
in lifetime you see hair of such extra
ordinary length, though know of one
other lady, Mrs. H., of Cincinnatti-It think
her husband is an editor-who has still
longer hair-over seven feet-and so thick
that it was labor of ingenuity to do it up.
1t is light brown in color, and silky in the
extreme, but there is such quantity of it
that it was impossible to follow any fash
ion in it, arrangement. Luckily it was
becoming 20 Mrs. II. to wear il in the only
style II could be easily arranged-that is,
twisted lightly and coiled round and round
her head until it reached her forehead and
dropped on the nape of her pseS Like
most women with magnificent hair, she
never had credit for it excepting
among 1er friends, and have heard people
, say tnat she wore enough false hair to stock
a s.o,e"
Do You know any one else with such
hair z"
"Miss II. has hair nearly as remarkable
IN length that Is, six feet, and more
beautiful in color. Her hair looks like
god in the sun, and has the glihmer of
satin 1t would take me nearly the whole
morning to dress the heads Of mother and
daughter, and my back and shoulders
would ache to distraction, afierward."
"Do Amerlcan women as a rule have
long haira'
"No, thH do not. The climate here is
very bad for The hair, and, of all civilized
countries in the world, 1t pays less atten-
uon to 1t. American ladies have great
idea of looking nice at the time, while
French and English women are much more
bent on the preservation of beauty than
temporary gain. The only women in this
country who have a proper valuation of
their hair are in the South, where great
pains are taken in brushing and arranging
it; consequently they have the finest heads
of hair in this country"
How is it about actresses 2"
"There are few who can boast of lux
uriant locks. Louise Pomeroy, l think,
comes foremost her hair is as fine as
spun silk and heavy as lion S mane it
reaches to her knees, and is of a natural
golden hue. Adelaide Detchou has beau
tiful hair. i have heard people say that
they would gige 80 cents Just to see it.
Like all actresses who have fine hair, .he

but sometimes she makes bungle in TAX
ing the comb out, and the act looks so pre-
medltated that every one laughs. C4the-
rine Lewis las an abundance of long, thick
hair, which she shows off to advantage;
and Sarah Jeweit used to have a fine lot, |
bet she wears wigs so much that no one |
knows whether she has any left or not. ="
''Do actresses ever have their hair |
dressed?"
a. No, not for the stage. Twenty years |
ago every theater had its hairdresser. but |
the perfection to which wigs have been |
brough. has put an end to that. Every
star has her collection. Fanny Daven-
port has the most valuable: it is worth ST.
SOCIAL shades of blonde, bronze and red.
Clara Morris and Miss Kellogg havsa pretty
good variety. All the prina donne Lave a
number, except Gerster, who has false hair.
Patti does not care much for wigs. but she
is exceedingly particular about her own
hair. She has it dressed every day, and
speaks centemptuously of Nilsson, whom
she calls that uncombed woman, because
she twists her yellow locks up any way"
"How are New York ladies about hav
ing their hair dressed?'
Many OF them are very particular.
Some because they think it adds to their
appearance; others ~ the comfort of it.
There is Mrs. s., of the Buckingham, for
instance. She regards it as necessity
for lady who has any regard for nicety.
And there Is Mrs. S. s.. at the same place.
