the stage. and, indeed, why should they
be, when so many young women have
bea ut iful hair? The smooth, dark
brown tresses Georgia Cayvan wears in
almost any part are her own. Helen

fact, and very heavy. tombstone Ben

II brushed sieekly back IN shiny Jane"
fashion, all the curl being suppressed
That queer little pointed growth in the
middle of her forehead belongs to her
very own hair, and she is d wise girl to
show it. "Oh, yes, of course, she pins
on all those circles of close braids at
the back. and they hide the little knob

gave these hirSute facts to the sun.
But it is there, else the curls would
begin to ripple and James sleek head

hair, and lots OF it. She seldom wear a
wig. Annie Russel'S hair is a so #,
pale blonde. just a pretty shoulder
length. 1t was her own hair she wore
in Elaine and in EsmeraIda. though
most people thought it wig. Beatrice
CamerOn's hair is about the shade of
Miss RusselPs, soft, and nearly the
same length. If she wears a wig it is
almost always made the same colo as
her own hair. Fanny DavenpOrt'S hair
is not heavy, and by day the harsh vel
low dye hurts it, though very pretty at
night. Odette Tyler has this shade of hair,
| and Sydney Armstrong. l have heard
that Clara Morris has red hair. Usually
she wears wigs. Modjeska's ha ir is

J rich dark brown, and she has plenty of
| it. She seldom covers it with a wig.
! Handsome Emma Sheridan always

Jansen's hair is dark brown. In The
OOlah' she wears a short wig of the
