Bodied hair recruits that have
recently been added to the throngs
Of the short.haired in Washington
are Mrs. Clara Sears Taylor, Dis

John Proctor. A generation or two
separates Mrs. Taylor and Mrs.
Proctor, but the haircut IL equally
becoming.
Mrs. Taylor was induced to have
her locks shorn by her young
daughter. Mrs. II. X. Reynolds, who
made the appeal at q most oppor.

Mrs. Procter's husband, II I am

This does not mean that all

Many may be very Indifferent
toward achievement in that sphere.
It comes as a matter of course.
For politics is being given so much

their place in the social sun IL
they eschew politics and its works.
Consequently they sign up and
thus give a social significance to
