Mrs. Emmons Blake. . fashionable

This I discovered BY drst-hand inves-

HEAVY HAT GOES, ALONG WITH
PUFFs AND RATS.

with a stiff, heavy band to make II
set right on the pompadour.
'Now many women part their hair
and do It up in q simple. graceful col
at the back of the neck. The hat then
needs no band. and indeed y often OF

whom piled on o forest OF false
hair, puts too much weight on the
head, causing headache ana In time
bringing about . severe mental
strain. Il ovsrhsats the head and
makes the hair lose It's lustrs and
eventually fall out. When the
weight comes ON the back OF the
head, near the base OF the brain,
