easy. But 1t IL not so. We have to
exercise the greatest care in buying
hair It being absolutely necessary to
know from what source 1t has been
obtained. A great deal OF hair comes
from the ash barrels and karbage
piles You can see that material Of
this kind would not be at all desira.
BILE, vet people often wonder why one
wig costs four times as much az an.

Hair perhaps retains disease germs

that even after hair found In unCer.

severe cleansing process to which all
the material used IL subjected, still
It does not command the same price

ELEVATOR ETIQUETTE.
Rules Governing the Behavior OF Pas
sengeTs in the Gage"

Rules Governing the Behavior OF Pas-
sengers in the Gage"
When you wish to take an elevator ring
the bell until the cage appears in sight. It
Is true that in most instances elevators
move up and down continuously through
the day, so that there is no absolute need
OF your ringing; but don't neglect to ring.
The elevator man will appreciate yeur at
tention If no one else does. 1t is natural to
suppose that he loves the chattering Of the
bell. He may not thank you in words, but
he will remember you all the same.
When the car arrives at your landing
stand Immediately in front of the door.
This will prevent persons in the elevator
from getting out too quickly. Besides it
gives you an opportunity to observe hui
manity hindered in its progress-a sort of
study OF arrested development.
Don't notify the elevator man where YOU
want to stop until you have passed the
landing. Then say suddenly, 81 want to
get Off here" This will cause the elevator
man to reverse his car suddenly, turning
the stomachs of the passengers inside out
and causing them to think great deal of
you.
Don't leave the elevator in hurry.
When you reach your landing ask the ele-
vator man If he is sure he has made no
mistake, and whether or not he is certain
that number so and so is on this floor. It
may try the patience of the passengers, but
patience is avirtue and should be exercised.
1t is always good thing to smoke in an
elevator, or at least to let your cigar smoke
while you hold it in your hand. Many
people are affected as If by seasickness in
an elevator and the smell of tobacco smoke
may prove counter irritant.
Ii there are any ladies in the car of
course you will not neglect to indulge in
such loud conversation with your compan-
lon as will convince the ladies that you are
q deuce Of fellow, don't yer know. II the
ladies do not enjoy your talk You will en-
Joy 1t yourself.
Ifit be possible stick your fingers through
the wire side Of theelevator. There is no
doubt pleasurable sensation in having
ones finger broken of; and besides, it is
the business. Of the elevator man to warn
his passengers against danger. 1t will be
interesting to see If he is attending to his
business.-Boston Transcript.
