MONSTER HEADDREssES.
Women at One Time Wore Fleets OF
Vessels In Their Hair.


Marie Antoinette had a passion for
extraordinary headdresses. One struc
ture that she invented was forty-five
inches In height and was composed of
many yards of gauze and ribbon. From
the folds sprang punches of roses, and
the entire ediflce was surmounted by u
waving plume of white feathers. 1t Is
accorded that when Maria Theresa re-
ceived a portrait of her daughter wear
Ing this headdress she exclaimed:
This is no daughter of mine! 1t is the
portrait of an actress"
The Duchess de Charities, determined
to surpass the queen, designed head
dress two inches higher. 1t was made
up OF many plumes waving at the top
Of q tower. Two waxen figures, repre-
senting the little Comte de Beaujolais
(the brother OF Louis Philippe) in his
nurses arms, were worn as ornaments.
Beside them parrot picked at plate
OF cherries, and the wax figure of
black boy reclined at the nurses feet
On different parts Of the tower were
the initials of the duchesse's husband,
her father and her father-in-law, made
from her own hair.
At this time France and England
were at war In a naval engagement
the French frigate Licorne struck her
flag. but the Belle Poule, another
French vessel. crippled the Hector, an
/ English man-of-war. As the French
men were about to board two English
vessels bore down to their consort's
assistance. and the Belle Poule sailed
away. The English fleet returned to
Plymouth with two prizes, the Licorue
and French lugger.
The French, although they had lost
frigate. proclaimed victory. The
queen and her women wore headdress-
es that represented the Belle Poule I'M
der full sail blowing sea of green
game in pursuit of the English frigate.
THIS construction was known as the
couture Belle Poule."
The wife of an English officer living
I'm Paris deemed the headdress an in
suit to the English navy and deter
mined to resent It, At the next public
occasion therefore she appeared carry
ing on her head FIVE English line OF
battle ships, French frigate and a
lugger. An arrangement Of silk and
gauze represented Plymouth harbor.
which the English ships. with their
prizes, were entering. Each vessel car
ried streamer that bore its name. and
on the edifice at the back the wovd

beads.
The audacity OF the spirited English
woman struck every one dumb except
the chief OF police. who invited her to
cross the frontier at her earliest con
