The world was SHOCKED when the
first slit skirt made its appearance,
when the fussy, fancy gowns came
into vogue, ana Che shock thst came
when the tango originated and spread
itself into all parts Of the universe
was supposed TO make the nation
shock proof. But, alas, it II not so.
Society, the public everybody. is
shocked at q recent innovation Of
woman the wearing Of colored wigs.
These are used effectively with SINH
larly colored gowns. This new fad
began its career about three weeks
ago in New York having been i'm
ported from Paris, and has spread as
far as San Francisco already.
The fad followed the appearance Of
several society women in Newport
with powdered nair. Not to be out
done. other women of this clique de-
cided to find something more attrac-

powder, but as this is difficult to re.
move from the hair. and when ap-
Piled does not givs brilliant hue

match their gowns.

ionable eastern society woman gave
a big party. She featured the affair
by giving the larger part Of hel
guests surprise in presenting ten
young ladies', among the foremost
young society women of America, in
attractive colcrsd gowns with wigs
done up IN the fashionable styles and
colored to match the gowns

Women frequented cafes adorned in
hair of many colors. The newspapers
gave it the necessary publicity and

to women as everybody IS doing it.

at bill calling for $50 for pink or
green wig and after scrntinizing the
bill closely has thoughtfully muttered
to himself the customary, We'll, I'll
be -" and wondered if any limit
can be placed upon the actions Of the
present day woman.
From every indication there IS no
hope for woman Absolutely none.
