HEADS AND TALES. HAIRDRESSING IN HISTORY.
A mournful little lyric appeared the other day in a literary column on the theme that romance died when women. cut off their hair-as though they had not cut it off and on, ever, since hair. started A search in social history shows that nearly every new mode of hairdress-
ing has been castigated by men on its except for first appearance, though Eleanor of Aquitaine, who promptly this solved her marriage with Louis VI, when she found he had a monk's face instead of a prince's women have let the strange things men have done with their heards and moustaches pass with little comment. There is, do recorded domestic censure of Aaron's beard, which "went down to tho skirts of his garments," or of the lautail. beards of the Plantagenet gentlemen, which needed wadded nightcap for protection during sleep because, heavily stiffened with gum, they were wont very badly to scratch.
The literature. of hairdressing, mostly in the French languge, has to be lis entangled from the history of surgery, for it was only in 1745 that barbers. ceased to be surgeons, and the device they adopted was reminiscent. The fillet which encircles the barber's pole recalls the bandage, and the basin the vessel which received the blood. As barbers, they dropped very rapidly in the social scale: The great hairdresser Legros, Art de la Coiffure des who wrote Dames Francaises," was also a cook, and Fanny Burney, as our finances is extremely low, hunted out a quite good hairdresser who was prepared to do her hair for ninepence, and even in that sho hoped to get threepence off Fashions in hairdressing, as in everything else, have gone by contrasts. After the huge Elizabethan wig came the small knot be hind, with fringe and Finglets, in- trodued by Henrietta Maria; the little knob on the top of the head worn in the reign of George I, yielded to the monster erection of powdered and poma tumed rolla Which was constantly cat "ching in the chandelier; the close ring- lets whose aim was to give a "poodle- like appearance" gave place to the spreading chignon; the Madona, part- ing and bare forehead to the Piccadilly fringe.

Strangely enough, - the rageous hairdressing freak, such as that of the year 1779, which could only be arrived at by Monsieur Lr Friseur mounting a very high pair of steps, has never been visited with such condemnal tion as the shorn head. Lady Mary Wortley Montage can hardly bring her self to tell her friend Lady Rich that fo Paris the women have become so mon strously unnatural as to wear their hair! short and curled round their faces; the battle in the year 1753 between the cut bob and the long bob " was really be tween modesty and shame," according to a bishop; and in the reign of Victoria girls who were obliged to lose their hair during fever wore caps while it was growing again. to hide, said Miss Earle, their "distressing gentleman-like ap- "pearance." Perhaps nothing shocks the. modern feminine mind more than the readiness with which quite young Georgian and Victorian ladies would take to caps to save themselves trouble. "I have made myself two or three caps." writes Jane Austen, aged twenty-three. to Cassandra, and. they sve me a world of torment as to hairdressing. My longer hair,is plaited up out of sight, and my short hair curls well, enough to want no papering"
THE SADDEST STORY. Women have eat off their hair for many reasons. Valentine de Milan, when her husband, Louis d'Orleans, was assasinated by Jean Sana Peur, cut off her hair and laid it in his tomb, and such a high standard of mourning caused mach discomfort to all the other widows. of the period None of the charms of Sarah, the famous Duchess of Marl borough, were so fondly prized by her warrior, lord as her superh hend of hair, whose colour, sho preserved, un- changed by the constant use of honey- water. One day the Duke dared to oppose Sarah's strong sovereign will, and as she sat considering how she could. plague him most the "hright thought occurred that it would be the heartiest Texation to see his favourite tresses cut of Instantly she cropped and laid the tresses in an ante-chamber he must pass through to enter her apartirent. He came calm enough to provokes saint, neither angry nor sorrowful. Concluding he must have overlooked, the hair, she ran to secure it. Lo. it had vanished. At the Duke's death she found her beautiful ringlets careful laid by in a cabinet where he kept whatever he held most precious. Of all the ad stories in the literature of the hair this is perhaps the saddest.
To the reasons for which women have cut off their hair-apite, grief, poverty, waywardness, whim, eccentricity-it is only perhaps to-day that there may be added the bong-fide plea of convenience and practicality. Short hair, declare short-haired women, means twenty reinutes more in only twenty-four hour day. It is a time-saving device! There are harsh critics who any that women are cutting off their hair to look like -as though anything could be less masculine than the modern feminine silhouette with its ideal of being able to get through the keyhole Certainly vanity can base nothing to do with the (Continued at foot of neck Øglumu.)
