citement through the crowded courl
room. The girls story was of frequent

LATEST ECCENTRIC CRAZE
OF PARIS Is COLORED HAIR

So the result is hair to match the
gown.
In the popular French capital can
be seen pink hair red hair, cherry
color hair, mahogany color hair, green
hair, blue hair or almost any tint
one could imagine. Bowman 81 Co.
are showing in their hair goods de-
partment and windows schemes of
