Nearly every actress and theatrical singer
wears wigs. The real hair is done up in
number fsmall braids twisted around the
head, and the different parts Of the artificial
edifce are then attaceed to it with hair pins
or strings. Our grandmothers used to wear
wigs teWt dune piece. A well contrived

The apparent disorder and poodle-curliness
in which heads of false hair are now worn,
are necessitated BY the wig in four or FIVE
separate pieces

capricious and varies her hsir-dyes. She
also reinforces her hair with tresses fetched
from Brittany. Theresa is of opinion that
real hair is always stupid looking. The ex
coiffeur OF the Varieties whom have cited

The Latest Fashion in Carriers.
Baltimore San
There are several styles in carriers this
season, said a prominent dealer yesterday
Here, for instance, are some pretty pale
blue, white and pink ones, which are made
of ,atin-fnished elastic and painted with
roses and sprays of vines. You see they
tasten with buckles, and can be made larger
or smaller as necessity requires. The
buc kle was invented for obvious reasons
No, they are not worn in front-thst IS, not
directly in front The buckle comes lit,
tie to one side, and on the other side is a
dainty knot of ribbon, sometimes bow and
sometimes trilled.
But think these are prettier; they are
en- broidered and are usually made to order
4 wider scope is given here for the display
o. taste and originality than in the others.
The embroidery is not done on the elastic
but upon ribbon in which the elastic is en-.
cased Any design in small flowers, such
as !Orget-me-nots and trailing arbutus, may
be used with charming effect. Many ladies
buy the material and work the designs
themselves Now, here are are some upon
which the ribbon, instead of being EN-
broidered, is puffcd. Prices range from 81
to s. per pair.
DO the buckles ever come separate from
the carriers?
Oh, yes" was the reply The hand
soonest buckles are only used when specially
ordered. They are generally sold by Jew
elCrs. Some are plain gold or silver and
some are studded with Jewels. The most
fashionable now are those set with Rhine
