their own natural hair. The cavaliers
had long and perfumed lovelocks. and
though the Puritans had been called
roundheads. their hair waved, also. over

long locks.
But in 1875 wige had become COM

while other ministers proudly wore them.
Wigs were called horrid punches of
vanity, and hundreds of other disparag-
more popular. They varied from year
to year; sometimes they swelled out

turned under in heavy rolls. or hung in
braids and curls and pig-tails; they

"drop-wig." etc. They were bound and
braided with pink, green. red and purple

very hot, and very expensive, often
costing what would be equal to 800

Little children wore them. 1 have

Girls and Their Interests
CONDUCTED BY HELEN H. FErrEn.

DR.. Spencer reiterates what other
western women have stated, which is
that men and women work on a more
comradely, matter-of-fact basis in
the west than they do in the east.
Men are just as considerate, but all
I business relations between the men
and women are on strictly business
basis. minus some of the super
delicate frills that still exist in the
east. 1t is not considered an un-
forgivable breach of etiquette for a
woman to discuss money in plain
terms.
As far as fappers are concerned.
DR.. Spencer is for them without any
she believes firmly in the doctrine
that girls should be brought up as
boys are brought up-to do some one
, KIND of work very well-so that after
marriage, if the girl is not naturally
of domestic disposition. the home
! will not prove a prison full OF drudg-
| cry for her. She should be able TO
go ahead in her chosen profession
and be capable enough at it to hire
! efficient help to take care of her home
| burdens.
Too many girls nowadays just
! lose interest in their work when
they get around the marrying age"
! said DR.. Spencer. They think they
will have to give it up anyhow when
they marry. SO why try especially
/ hard TO succeed at 1t now? They
! don't look ahead and see what misery
| is ahead of them and their husbands
| if they don't know either housework
! or trade or profession well enough
/ to make real success of one thing
J or the other. Therefore, I like the
! fiapper type of girl because she is
at least frank, wide awake and full
J of initiative. She will not sit down
and be miserable. She will find
! way out"
Dr. Spencer is a tiny little woman
reminds one exactly of a very pert.
bright little sparrow. She is full of
energy and ideas and very broad
minded and youthful in the truest
| sense of the word. She had to give
up the practice of medicine. her pro-
fession. because her health wouldn't
stand the strain of such work. and
for the past thirty years she has
been one of the most earnest advo-
| Gates in the west of the interests of
women and girls and the befterinG
of conditions of all kinds for them.
