BISMARCK MAN TELLS HOW GIRLS
SHINCLED HAIR BACK in 1885

The girls in Bismarck who worry
through their first great adventure
in shingling-thcir hair-need not
think they are doing something new
in the history of feminine adorn-
ment.
For back in 1885 the girls wore
their hair shingled-cut just like a
boys hair. Rev. G. B. Newcomb of
Bismarck today offered proof Of
this. He displayed an old daguerre-
otype of five girls who attended the
same boarding preparatory school he
attended back in Dundee, New York.
There is no mistaking the picture.
The shingled hair is there.
The dresses of these daring young
college girls of the day were some
what different from those Of today,
however. The Mother Hubbard craze
was on. The picture shows them
with long dresses, flowing from a
woke Just below the shoulders. The
Mother Hubbards were popular then,
Rev. Newcomb says. Women used
to appear on the streets in them.
They were popular for afternoon
strolls.

shingled hair, but pronounced bangs

Shingles was quite general among
the girls, Rev. Newcomb said, but

he said, and then the girls went

Over $4,000 in cream was
handled by the Mott branch
train in one day, according to
Casey Jones, mail carrier on
that line of the Northern Pa
cific. He says that $40 cans
were handled on Monday of
