as clever in their tricks as their

through them.
The singing and dancing of the
American Four is so we'll done

NETWORK, Dec. 13.-Ah-h-h-
h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h! That's a SIGH
of relief.
But wasn't it terrible while it
lasted?
We can all get together-the
men who disliked it but We're
fooled by it, and the women wfo
wore it because everybody else
did-and give three loud happy
"goodbys' to the false hair.
If you'll notice. the women are
cheering even more lou lily than
the men. False hair really
wasn't nice.)
But the whole foolish business
is now slipping rapidly back into
the past, and were coming out
of it like a fever patient out of
bad dream.
Madam Polly says all this good
news is true, and she ought to
know, because along Broadway, in
the very heart of the theater dis
trict, where fashions in hairdress-
ing are born and die, Madam
Polly's word is considered final.
THE false hair business is dy-
ing by ounces" said Madam Polly.
Then she explained:
Last year the rat weighed
five ounces, the curls weighed
eight ounces, and a braid weighed
four ounces. Just think! That
is over a pound of hair. OF courss
it helped business. We sold great
quantities of hair. But 1t was
not nice, clean fashion by any
means. 1t would not be pleasant
to describe it. 1t is not even
pleasant to think of it.
But women have at last come
to their senses. In truth, they

YULETIDE FAIRY TALES E sSn G G0ns
FATHER AND MOTHER AND GRANDPAP AND EVERYBODY
THE FAIRY WORM THAT TALKED.

Fro NEARLY orning The Very
Rich Man had dug and dug for
angleworms beside the Canadian
lake. Jean Baptlste Carpenter
whose father used to be a fisher
man, but who was dead, and
whose mother was very, very ill
had also been digging for worms
in the hope that if he found the
bait for The Very Rich Man he
might get some money as a re,
ward to pay for medicines to cure
his sick mother.
But no worms could EITHER
find. Not one!
At spot where angleworms
were ALWAYS plentiful, there
were no angleworms!
So Jean Baptist stood beside
the water digging in the ground
with his brown toes, greatly wor-
ried.
And The Very Rich Man paced
up and down the lake casting this
fly and that FLY; but it seemed
that the Canadian fish wanted
COMMON WORMS-and the man
of dollars grew angry.
Jean .Baptiste's little face was
half hidden by his great pleated
straw hat. He was still digging IN
the black soil with his toes, which
were actually becoming sore from
the scratching, when at last he
saw a worm-A FAIRY WORM.
And the worm TALKED.
Jean Baptiste," said the worm
in very plain words (French-Cal-
adam patois), "you may have me. y
81 have walked" ("walked,"
mind you, and a wormy, 81 have
walked all the way from your
mothers house to this place, and
I know your trouble; and The
Very Rich Man may have me TO
put on his hook and catch a fat
black bass"
Jean Baptiste leaned forward to
pick up the little pink worm and
rush to the man with it; but when
his hand was within a few inches
of the self-sacrificing talking
worm, Jean Baptiste remembered
that if he hid as the worm told
him to do, tha~worm would DIE.
So instead, he tenderly picked
up the worm-gathering half
handful Of dirt in which the worm
might lie-and told the worm:
az shall go to The Very Rich
Man and tell him what you offer
ed to do; and you MUST tell him,
too. And then the man will help
US take care of my. good mother,
and you shall still remain alive,
and the man will feel better; and
/ am sure that shall" :
"All right" said the worm in
French, and away they started.
And The Very Rich Man mar
'veled at the generosity of the
worm and the smartness of Jean
Baptiste, and he took great pity
on Madame Carpenter; and now
there is a nice little cabin where
once stood the fisherman's mis-
cradle shanty.
, And the Fairy Worm
All, he was not worm at all,
but an Angel from Heaven who

To. save their hair they must cut
it, and many women are having
their hair cut shoulder length.
THE most hair that woman
can wear in these days, and be in
mode, is four ounces. This comes
in the form of half-moon or cap
curls. And even then no woman
will wear this unless she has very
little hair of her own.
"A soft looseness is what the
new styles demand. We can say
farewell to all the tight hair
weaving that made a woman wig
gle in her seat at the theater be-
cause she could not scratch her
itching scalp.

MAJESTIC (Grand)

The wonderful exhibition of the
hypnotic powers of Pelham Is the
leading feature of the bill at the
Majestic this week. Pelham s
powers were exerted on ten boys
called from the audience, and in
one exhibition one of the boys,
while under the mesmeric spell,
was placed like a human bridge
across the backs of two chairs and
three men stood on him without
bending the body.
Though "Those Three Boys
are not billed as headliners, they
received the biggest share of the
applause of the audience. They
deserved it, for their act OF dane
ing and singing, accompanying
themselves on the guitar and
mandolin was really classy A
humorous. feature was the farce,
'''The Wise Mr.. Con-"

brought in the shouldsr-length
hair. The hair is curled loosely
in large curls. Not even one hair
pin is used. Only a woman who
has followed the ridiculous styles
in false hair the past few seasons
can realize what delightful
change this is. 1t is airy, clean
and thoroughly sanitary. If the
curling is properly done the ei-
feet is very pleasant.
THE false hair business has
dropped off within the past few
months and the change has an
doubtedly been disastrous to false
hair merchants. 1t has also been
disastrous to scalp doctors. But
it will be a blessing to women"

Eczema is not blood disease
on this point medical authorities
agree. 1t never proves fatal, and
is generally found in those who

be treated by external means.
Poslam has probably accomplished
more remarkable cures of this
and other skin diseases than any
remedy known. 1t is applied d.
rectly upon the disorder. stops

heals the skin. After suffering

Merely a small quantity of pos
