Silk Tops

IF you're not SATISFIED TO De
either a blonde or q brunette,
tand your hair dresser doesn't
seem to be able to mix the
shades to your ia te, there's still
another way out.
Yon can take IN with this new
vouge for silk wigs, and have
exactly the color that matches
your temperament.
If you have a fiery disposition.
something loud-turkey red or
Easter egg blue-would be ap-
propriate, or If you have quiet,
retiring nature, a gentle lilac, or
a modest yellow-suggestive OF
the primrose-is the thing.
Silk wigs have played their
part in history, so there is no
reason why the ladies shouldn't
be encouraged to wear them
egain.
Queen Elizabeth had a red one,
and she flashed it with such sue
cess that Walter Raleigh had 70
send his coat to the cleaners.
Other royal ladies from time to
time have become dissatisfied
with the natural endowment on
top of their heads, and gone in
for silk substitutes.
A silk wig, after it has served
its days on the wearer's head,
can be used to dust the furniture,
shoe flies, or stuff pillows.
Thus 1t Is much more versatile
than real hair.

Social notes are used most ex.

cially by those who have good
looking stationery. One can be
cattier under an engraved mono
gram than on a sheet from the

The parental note Is a part OF
the modern educational system.
1t is supposed to explain Johnny's
absence or Willie's hardness or
something of that nature. The
most satisfactory notes OF this
kind are written by accommodate

of the culprit, but they don't al

Few False Notes

NYOW that presidential note
~ writing has fallen into a
decline, there are only
three important brands of note
manufacture. They are classified
as % financial, (2) social and
60 parental.
The social note is the most
common, but the financial is the
most deadly. You never hear, for
example, of a financial note doing
but just one thing, and that one
thing is called falling due" And
when a note is falling due, it's
like falling dew l. e., it puts a
damper on your bank account.
We can think of no greater bene-
fit to humanity than the invention
OF a financial note guaranteed
not to fall due, but we haven't
noticed much progress being
made in that direction.
The social note is familiar to
everyone. It comes in several
forms, but usually on tinted sta
tionery, often accompanied by a
whiff of perfume. There are nu-
merous forms, running all the
way from Thank you so much
