RIDICULOUS FAD OF FASHION
Description Of Head-Dress Worn by
Women Some Centuries Ago Ap-
pears Almost incredible.

Fashion plays constant pranks with
a woman's hair. Addison says In the
Spectator of 171S: There Is not so
variable a thing In nature as a lady's
head-dress; within my memory / have
known II to rise and fall above 80
degrees" In the reign Of Henry vi.
ladies wore horns, having en- each side
ears so large that when they would
pass through the door OF a room IL
was necessary to turn sideways and
stOop. II was judged necessary to en-
large the doors Of the Chateau de
Vincennes. The correct single for the
hair was IS from perpendicular. which
entailed great strain upon the hair
growing from the forehead Little
thought Of what We call cleanliness
or even decency was present at the
hairdressing of that day. Not only
was the hair left untouched for a most
revoltingiy long time. but materials
were used In the dressing Of the hair
and making the rolls Gas Anna Green
Winslow related). which were most
incredible. The Boston Gazette of
May. III, tells Of a young woman
driving In Boston streets who was
thrown from her carriage and her high
tower partly torn OF. II proved to be
stuffed with yarn. tow, wool. curied
hair. and even hay.

TRIED TO TAKE
HIS OWN LIFE
Anthony Abello of Putnam
Jumped From Bridge Into
River at Manchaug
Rescued By Relatives.-Now In Mas
saehuserts Hospital At Wor-
cester.

Anthony Abello. who was commit
ted to the state hospital at Norwich
last week Monday for ten days obser-
walton, was given his liberty at the
request of relatives and taken to Man
chang Sunday. Monday afternoon,
while he was out walking with two
brothers-in-law. he jumped from a
bridge into the river in an attempt to
take his own life. He was rescued
by mis- friends and later was commit
ted to a STATE institution in Worces-
ter.
Abello, as told in last weeks Pa
triot, was taken into custody in jew
EFT City, where he appeared minus
much of his clothing, which he dis
carded as he ran down the railroad
track from a work train on which he
was employed He was brought to
Putnam and examined by physicians,
who found that he was mentally de-
ranged. He was committed to the
state hospital at Norwich for ten days
for observation. Last Sunday num-
Der of his relatives and friends came
to Putnam in an effort to get the man
out of the institution that they might
care for him. The party, numbering
nearly Is people, finally went to Nor
witch and Abello was turned over to
them. While it was known he was
mentally unbalanced, it was said that
he was harmless.
After being delivered to relatives
the man was taken to Manchaug.
Monday afternoon he had been lying
down but got up and said he wanted
to take a walk. With two brothers
in-law he started out. As they were
passing over a bridge that spans the
river, Abello complained of feeling
warm and began to take off his cloth
ing. Suddenly he ran to the side of
the bridge and before his friends
could reach him had plunged into the
river below. The men with him sue
ceeded in getting him out and doe
tor was summoned and he was resus
| ticated. Later he was taken to the
| Worcester institution.
The man lived on Church street
with his family and had been working
on the construction train that makes
headquarters in Putnam. He was con-
tinually taking off his clothing, and
while at the police station here feared
he was to go to the electric chair.
