The Ancient I;luo Laws just Revived I'm
tho Transvaai Republic.
Ladies who have been accustomed to
hcighten their charms by the wilcs Of
the toilet table had better keep away
from the Transvaal. They would not
be long in Pretoria before they got into
serious trouble. The second chamber
of the volksraad has passed and sent I'D
to the first chamber masks and dis
guises bill, which will press severely
upon ladies (and gentlemen, too) who
are not physically what they seem.
Whoever wears 4 wig, for instance, and
is caught in the dreadful act, may be
tined ten pounds or sent to prison for a
fortnight.
An exception will perhaps be made in
favor of actors and actresses while
they are on the stage. Presumably it
will also be an offense to wear masl,
or go about on stills; but those are
amusements in which people do not
want to indulge every day. With all
the details OF this highly moral bill we
are not familiar; but If it prohibits
wigs, it must surely condemn that
artistic heightening Of the complexion
to which SO many ladies are (perhaps
erroneously) supposed to owe some
thing. The Puritan fathers of the
Transvaal may as well do the thing
thoroughly while they are about it.
