TRESSES HEAVIER:
DIAMONDS FEWER

Fashionable hairdressers are having
the busy time Of their lives this winter.
Not for a lOnE time have heads been

Nor in years has so much false hair
been worn and the work Of matching
artificial and natural tresses together
begins early and snds late. Plain bands
Of gold one above the other and poised

tresses, have been in evidence at the
