Caps and FlariDg Ears,


Many years ago grandmothprs mad"
dainty little caps of muslin. silk or lace.
and these adorned the heads of all in
fant>.. both by night and day. After :,
TIM" baby caps went out of vogue and
no substitute WAS ever cuntrived to re-
place them.
This seems like quite an unimportant
statement. one which may merely recall
to the memory of some few elderly po-
pie that baby caps were worn long years
ago.
But let us ask: How many p.opI. Il.
you notice of the age of ~ years or
Whereabouts. whose earn f1arp away or set
off from the head! How many younger
peoples ears grow close, or on lin.
parallel to the head?
Is it not a strange thing to note that
i'll all these years of study into the means
of improving and beautifying the human
face and form, no philosopher has given
attention to the falling away in grace of
the human ear:
Indeed. it is only lately that a device
was offered to restore the contour of the
head by forcing the ear hack into position
and all because baby caps went out
of fa~llior-thosr little caps which kept
the tiny ears i'll place until nature held
them there through growth.
