Vogue remarks
The American society for prevention
of cruelty to animals is justly censur-
able, that with the many hundred or
thousands Of dollars it has received
for years from requests, donations,
membership and dog license fees, It
did not long ago stimulate invention
| by the offer Of prizes for inexpensive
and easily Adjusted devices to enable
a horse to keep it's footing on slippery

longs to four women, Mrs. James B.

When the break was discovered in the
old liberty bell, he was employed 10

Hats and Wigs.
Much has been said and written
about the abandonment of large pic
ture hats. Practically no one so far,
for certain occasions, is wearing any
thing else. A last seasons hat oc-
casionally, in order to make it over,
has been secured, no one seems quite
but when the price of smart hats is
taken into consideration and supply
in the humor, with the winter hegira
so imminent, to order new set. Con-
sequently the large hat, the medium,
whether cloche or bell shape, or
turned up at the side, and the newer
hat, with high crown and narrow
brim, as well as small toques, farquis,
etc, are all met with at social func-
tions. That the spring hat will re-
verse all this and make a more dis
tinct change is to be expected and
welcomed as every change is.
So many of the best-dressed women
have recourse to the "posticbe" or
false hair front that no one nowadays

cally considered the same enemy-lurk-
ing in the marcel wave, so long in
vogue, leads to the conclusion that
wigs are TO be the next step in the
life of present women of fashion.
Whether it be wigs or not this false
hair mania has seized upon women OF
all ages, regardless of the natural sup
ply of hair they may possess. Hair
dressers make no secret of the fact
that many OF their clients keep their
heads dressed for two of three days
at a time. Theirs is the secret, as To
whom the women are, for no one so
far can detect it,
Japanese women have their head
blocks, we know Can 1t be that our
women have borrowed The idea? The
excuse given is want Of time. Lunche-
ons, bridge. afternoons, dinners, daI-
ces, a few hours to sleep and tie day
is over.
