Fashionable hair in Paris now is
dark mahogany shade. 1t is said to
be far more beautiful than anything
hitherto accomplished in the way Of
changes from the natural hue. says
the.&ew York Press. Nor is the proc
ess OF transformation so difficult as
was the following of hair. Probably
because the mahogany hue now in
vogue so much more nearly resembles
the natural dark coloring of at least
the Frenchwoman's hair. the little ir-
~regularities in the working of the
chemicals are not noticed.
