women with luxuriant tresses of all

countries are now making it illegal for
a girl to sell her hair or for an agent
to buy it. The supply in consequence

hair are trcbling. A series of sue
cessful experiments point to spun
glass as the most effective substitute
for human hair. Wigs made from spun
glass are wonderfully light and fine
and the texture soft and beautiful It
is easy to produce any shade desired

featured at will to suit the fashion OF
the moment. The imitation is SO
