SHINGLED BUNGLED HAIR

Sir,—AVith reference to your Saturday’s article I crave more than an inch of space for a topic of public interest. Thanks! It is said that the glory of a young man is bis strength, of a sage his silver locks, and in intent shall we sav of a woman, her crown of splendid hair! A letter just to hand from one who knows in tlie Homeland tells me that some amusement and a great deal of dismav has been occasioned because it is believed that the Queen has said that she will not have anyone at the Court with shingled hair—a panic indeed (and may jt prove a check in our indulgent circles). AVhereas before most ladies had been mad to worship at Dame fashion’s throne, the idle, unsympathetic, topsy-ttirvy jade, bringing as tribute masses of wonderful hair, it seems those who were last in the queue will now be first—and the others will now be having their own hair made into wigs to wear at balls! There is nothing to complain about those ladies, who, having scraggy hair, had it trimmed; or tbo c e busy workers to whom less hair yvas a relief. And the expense—at least £l5 a year, and a complete outfit to match if one went to Paris. Why do not women assume complete equality (except that Dads and Mas must maintain their roles for very existence)—get clean barber cuts (thrifty husbands sav). It is said it is the King who hates it so. God bless him! AA’igs! AA’igs 1 AA’igs! Instead of beauty—and of course the' feathers and veils won’t be firm with nothing to fasten them on to. Moral: Shingled ladies, please grow some silkv hair—cutting makes it stubj,v— O r t lo not aspire to court, i.e., even the King’s Court. AVigs are fashionable in law courts, where perchance the only remaining powdered Old AA’orld graces exist. Shingling—was it old fashioned? Let us hope its career will be so short that it will be shortly.—l am, etc., ' MERE MALE.
