A HAIR-DRESSING COMPETITION.
A hair URKSSiNCi competition took place recently in Paris. Thirty young woman with long blonde tresses sat down in the hall of the Grand Orient, and for the space of about 45 minutes the lingers and hands of the perruqniera were busy among their locks. The first prize of £20 and a cross for professors was awarded to a M. Nessi, while a pupil won a gold medal and £12 for twining out the best coiffure in the shortest space of time. After the competition, "Fantasias" in hair design were executed, old styles being temporarily revived or new ones exhibited to the delighted gaze of a crowd of coiffeurs and their friends. The proceedings were terminated by a ball, in which the victorious barbers selected the prettiest of the damsels who had been operated upon, and danced away with them until the small hours of the morning.
