Rats" Are Cheaper.

New York Dec. 17.-According to a
New York dealer and importer Of hu,
man hair, the women of the country
will receive a Christmas gift in the
way of substantial reduction in the
price OF rats" puffs, switches and
other devices for adding to the crown.
ing glory of femininity.
The reason for the reduction is that
the market has become glutted with
hair following the wholesale amputa
ton of queues and top knots which
has been inaugurated in China and
Korea. 1t is estimated that nearly a
million Koreans have visited the bar.
Der since their country was annexed
by Japan, and nearly all the hair has
been shipped to America and Europe
During the last few weeks hundreds
of New York Chinese have parted with
their queues, and this has also served
to augment the supply of human hair
to be used in the manufacture OF
rats" switches and puffs for the
adornment of the ladies of the land.
