One day about two weeks after TINS, e"on
woman in Plutarch received through the haii d
lettcr marked confidential. On opening ~
she found a neatly printed circular ahhou'i'i"s
that the celebrated Madame Geroud' la'o
Paris would be at the leading hotel In Plucarch
on the following Friday with her renowned
preparations for the hair and complexion u
postscript mentioned the fact that the Madame
was particularly successful I'm repairing an"
rcnovating false hair certain treatment which
she gave it rendering il wavy and glossy Ill
most astonishing degree. Indeed, the circular
explained that the beautfyipg Of false hair was
the NIadames speciality, and the ladies were aa-
monishcd to bring anything they had IN this
line without fail as IL was not probable that
they would ever have so good q chance again
4 simple chrOnicler of fact we are forced
TO record that q number of Plutarch ladies'
visited Madame GerOud on the appointed day
Some of them, too, carried false hair with them
we do not need 70 stop here to say how many
These were told to leave il and TO call Tor IL
the next morning. The trusting women went
away with their heads very much muliled up
though the weather was mild. The next morning
when they called at the hotel what WIS their
CONSERVATION to learn that Madame Geroud had
gone away in the night and taken all Of her
baggage with her They searched her room but
found no hair. They returned to their discon-
solato homes with their heads still muhied.
The next day was Sunday. 1t was noticed that
the congregation which gathered at the church IN
the morning was exceedingly small and consisted
mos,v of men, tnough usually the women were
in the majority Indeed, there were but seven
women present and the close observer would have
noticed that four Of them wore their hair short
and that the other three were ladies upward OF
seventy years of age. When the Reverend Mr..
Early entered he carried large leather satchel.
He set it down behind the pulpit and said (:

of this congregation to prove my
charge that number Of them wore false halC
| am in a position to do this morning. l am
sorry that more of them not present to wit
ness il. | sincerely hope that they are not kept

tinued as he opened the satchel, we will pro-
