DANCED DEFIANCE TO DEATH
Fair Parlsiennes With Bobbed Hair
Held High ReveIs in the Days
Of the Terror"

The most striking historical paral-
lei to the bobbed-hair craze is to be
found in the hectic days Of the French
Directory, when many extremes -four
ished, relates the Kansas City Star
The Parisienne was wearing a wig
known as the peruke blond when the
new bobbed couture came in. II was
designated "a la Yictime' or "a la
Sacrifice" and demanded cropping
or combing up OF the hair at the
back of the head into wild tangle
or dlsheveled locks over the forehead.
With such headdress had Marie An
toinette and many another Of the no
blewomen Of France gone to the gull
lotlne just previously, for flowing hair
had been found to impede the swift
descent of the knife.
That couture was quite the thing
at the notorious and gruesome Bal
des Victimes, a jolly little party the
invitation list Of which was limited to
those who had lost parent or some
other near relative by the guillotine.
The pleasure-mad throng which
danced around the ballroom that night
must have presented weird and hor-
rible scene. For each of the fair "Vic-
times" beside her close-cut, caught-up
locks, wore as other details of her
costume a scarlet ribbon bound around
her throat and blood-red shawl
thrown over her shoulders.

And windy capes that tried their slen-

And tortuous channels where their keels

And calm blue heights of stiffness and
the stars

A co Gict between the practical and
the sentimental strains of the F.oash
character is seen in certain devastated
districts which the authorities sought
TO preserve in their ruined condition
as monument to German barbari!y
and as a.warnlng. Despite the order,
a peasant returned TO his old nome and
plowed and planted his land, as he
had always done, says Springfield Re
publican. Probably m1st americans
will admire the reconstruction spirit
OF the French peasant more than the
sentimental spirit of the authorities.
