Paris buyer.
ONCE hair was bought only by the
hair-lacking. The old. easy-going

shawls. parasols and umbrellas, and
by throwing a gold-piece here and
there he could pick up the standard
shades and qualities from poor girls
who were ignorant or hopeless.
At present false hair ~unashamed
gaily confessed. is rampant on heads
beautifully endowed by nature. The
vast hats of two years required. great
quantities of putting to frame the
face beneath them. And now that
rich woman of America and Europe
seem confirmed in the craze Of match

pile hair on hair. in great coiffures
with large hats. small hats or no

qualities has quadrupled; fancy hair

and wavy heads of hair, in standard
browns, blacks. pale blends and red
blends. 1t was his rich dealings with
the tenth girl that sent them futter-

Hair for twists and turbans! The
era of frizettes and chichis has pass

dozen little puffs around her head.
