CORRESPONDENCE.
-MODERN .MAIDENS. (To the Editor.) Sir, —My apologies to the fair sex for transgressing over the borders of mere man’s domain, hut the sheer necessity of making some protest, goads me to exclaim, aloud through your valuable columns. 1 refer to the wholly uncivilized fashion the modern maiden follows in barbarously lopping off the bounteous gift of silken glory wise old Mother Nature has endowed her with. Indeed, I may say that even in the most barbaric tribes the women invariably prized and took infinite pains in the care of their locks. I ask these rash damsels to pause for one second in their mad stampede to the raaims of Ugliness, and picture Venus do .Milo or Dante’s Beatrice arrayed in an Eton Shingle! Calamitas Calamitatis!!! I appeal to those ladies who yet have hair to refrain, in the sacred name of Beauty, from following the crazy customs, of their misguided .sisters. 1 am. etc.. AESTHETIC. March 30th, 1926. bmpbwwww txarairarnaHwaatHßa
