Tammany Hall or Terry Out.
Prom the Chicago Herald.
"Queer craze this" unused a South Side
hairdresser as he bowed and scraped a
styllshIy-dressed woman out of the big
front door OF his establishment. "Time
was when woman gloried in her tresses,
but she doesn't glory any more. Strange,
TOO, that this mania should become so vir-
ulent just as winter is about to set in, and
at time when most women used to want
all the hair they could pile on without
disgusting the men folks about the house.
But it is the style, and don't see why us
dressers should grumble, for every custo-
mer means 70 cents in our pocket. Now.
let me think a moment. Yes, ii was Ell
len Terry who started the craze. Rose
Cleveland, the Presidents sister, was
probably the first 10 catch the fever, aud
rom this lady the contagiOn has spread
until now nearly every city and town IN
the country has large number OF we'll
developed cases. Neither the young nor
the old is spared. Why, last week a
woman about 4S years old came here and
threw herself into one OF the chairs ike a
three-times-a-week shaver. Did she want
her hair cut? Well, / should hurry TO
reply she did. ! run the shears around
and up and down the back OF her Uranium
until found some wrinkles back OF her
ears, and then ! stopped. In a modest
sort of way told her OF my discovery and
recommended a mixture have for remOv-
ing the burrows OF time. Why, sir, that
woman was 80 Inundated that she left
orders 10 have her tresses made into a
wig and switch, and only yesterday saw
this lady prOmenading on State street
with her hair fastened on with pins, nets,
and strings.
ooh, this epidemic Is just great. Let
me tell you NJ another funny case over on
he West Side. The wife Of wealthy
man came home one night with her raven
locks wrapped MP in a newspaper which
she carried under her arm. Al the table the
the servant 'piped OFF her mistress, and
was stricken with the malady. Next day
the girl climbed into n BARRIERS chair and
paid 30 cents for Tammany Hall hair
cut. Then she was proud. She WeltZed
into her basement abode with reckless
hurrah, and got dinner with a masculine
dash When the mistress behed her
clipped servant she few into n jealous
passion, and, just 30 wound the poor girls
heart. dOnned her bureau-drawer switch
es and pompadours, and IN this head
gear she may be seen almost any day
looking daggers az the humble barber shop
across the street
ATS sad, though, when red-headed
girl catches the fever. This young lady
is all right with long sunset tresses; but
with them or the back Of Der head looks
like a brndle door step rug. Then, be-
sides. If freckles have been hiding around
her neck aud ears they are bound 10 come
out and cause comment.
~ predict a great and immediate craze
for hair jewelry, wigs, aud switches.
Whau the fnorcfirV gets down ten mr.
twenty degrees below zero you viii see
these young women coming around here
for hirsute blankets and the like. l over
heard two doctors talking with an under
taker the other day. One Of the medicine
men said that he was confident that the
short HAIR craze would result in a large
Increase IN catarrhal affections, and the
undertaken bowed low and divided an ap-
pie with his companion
