Red, White, and Purple
Wigs to Be Worn Here

the other woman, for whom the head
piece was made, was compelled to swal-
low her disappointment.
All wigs are made. not OF human hair
at all, but Of the hair Of the yak. a small
animal that inhabts foreign land. II
is naturally white and much coarser
than the human article. But some is
almost like silk. and the price TO the
importer runs up as high. il is said. as
81 an ounce. So imagine the cost Of
these wigs The price to consumers is
anywhere from s. To 500 for not more
than five ounces cf yak hair made TO
fit the crown. Some are as light as
three ounces. The lighter the safer and
better, according to sam, who explained
the matter TO a Herald reporter yester-
day.
The tango red is the prevailing
choice" said Sam. That is little
lighter than titan rcd and somewhat
like orange The purple also is very
chic and pretty. and I should not be sur
rrised If the pale pink should run a close
second. Green j. also coming ina sort
of nile green.
The colored wig has undoubtedly come
to stay a long time. Every woman likes
to match her gown with shoes and stock
ings,' SO why not with her hair? More
over, they are only for fancy dress af-
fairs. We have these only in fashionable
society. Their eXclusiveness will help

Colored wigs soon will make their debut

thought many women will spring the new
style at the Navy relief ball Easter Mon
day night
Two Washington society matrons have
had their wigs for a week, but sh-h-h!
Not a word till they bare their own heads
with the new things on to give them Il
formal introduction. The busiest person
in Hepner's is Sam Lidoff, an artistic
dyer. Sam made the red, white, purple,
and pink wigs that were worn at the
Southern Society celebration of George
Washingtons birthday Monday night in
New York.
Sam tells a story OF one New York
belle who walked out OF the New York
shop with a wig that had been made es-
pecially for another customer, and re-
fused to return il, although she had
gladly laid down so for the beauty. She
ran to her carriage as Mr.. Hepner pro-
tested and was whirled away. This
young woman thus managed to be in

That other officers will be put on trial

KOehler was the prediction voiced by a
high army officer this afternoon. 1t is
for that reason, he said. that the War
Department has decided that the trial Of
Maj. Koehler should be secret

miles long, guarded by strong sea cur
rents, hilly with sand dunes and. to look

ii is astonishingly fortified. Every curl
of the sand has been utilized and the

batteries of six ten and twelve inch
guns, and at night the searchlights of

100 women and children, and about sixty
workmen and snopkeepers form the is
