It is not prohibited that bald-beaded teachers may conceal their naked, scalps with wigs, but the unnecessary use of ar- tificial hair is barred. Elaborate hair- dressing is also forbidden.

Whether the older pupils and the teachers \will heed it or not there are abundant reasons both physiological and of common sense why elaborate hair dressing and the wearing of artificial hair are out of place either in the schools or in busi- ness or in ordinary affairs of life. : In the first place, an elaborate arrangement of the hair is almost always unbecoming. Artificial hair itself is pitiful. Its lack of life is apparent to eyery other woman except its wearer. Its use may result in self-deception, but no one else is fooled. Every woman's hair has a natural arrangement which is prettier than any artificial disposition of it. An arbitrary fashion in hair clashes even more with natural beauty than arbitrary fashions in hats and dresses. ‘A. hat is not.part of the wearer. It can be taken off or put on. There can also be a change of dress or clothes or shoes, | But hair is a fixture. =| Its color should be permanent, except for the gradual toning of age.! The sight of a woman with dark eyes and dark complexion and light) flaxen hair suggests at once the peroxide bottle. The incongruity pro-| __claims itself as with a megaphone. Incidentally frequent bleachings kill) the hair and destrby its sheen. A Style of hair dressing which is suitable to a tall, well built, mascu- line woman, with an aquiline nose and_ dominant cheek bones, is absurd | when copied by a dainty little woman with a pug nose and a freckled face. | Quite, likely the reason that the Cleveland school bbard interferes with the feminine hair customs of the public schools Is that excessive | hair dressing disturbs the school work. When a woman has spent an hour or two arranging her hair or has paid some hairdresser to do it, she feels that she is entitled to several hours of pleasing thought over the improvement. While she is thinking about her hair her recitations must suffer, Pee If women only knew how much better looking they are without artificial aid they would save themselves a good deal of trouble, time ‘ad expense. Young girls, especially of the high-school age, detract Tather than add to their good looks when they arrange their hair in"any “way_except_the simplest style or-when they tamper with dyes or cosmetics.

The natural wave of a young girl’s hair no curling iron can make: more attractive, When a woman becomes really old the same fact applies. A gray- haired woman, whose face shows the lines of a useful, happy life, whose eyes tell the story .of the children whom she has lovingly brought up, whose wrinkles are signs of her thoughts for others; whose life has been spent making the world that much better, is as beautiful as | a young girl is pretty. | But when a mere man ora whole schoo! board of him undertakes | to regulate feminine hair he had better trifle with a buzz saw. ay No. 83 to & | | nd and the Con- 3 An Uncharted Rock, By Maurice Ketten.

Bonaparte In Paris one day In 1795. Her call supposed to be for the purpose of hanking the young officer for restoring to her her dead husband's sword. But it fs probable that the visit was due to the fact that Bonaparte was a rising man ané one whom a penniless, intriguing woman who still pos- sessed some charm might do well to cultivate. If this were the true cause of her call, the act was the masterstroke of her career. For. the bashful, stern youth, who had heretofore Ived the Ife of a recluse, fell In love with her at sight and soon after begged her to marry him, The woman was Josephine Beauharnais,/9 Creole widow Theré is no reason to believe Josephine s (who {¥ buppase & sclally for Bonaparte. lohav@had thp bese ed inchis mer that she asked his advice about the match, and on ing from him of Bonaparte’s brilliant prospects accepted the officer. The marrtay s celebrated on March 9. Josephine was then thirty-three and Bonaparte barely_twenty-seyen. Josephine was the eldest daughter of a Creole lieutenant of artillery who served as harbor master at Port Royal, Martinique. There the girl was reared, her education comprising little more than dancing, singing and embroidery, and. at fifteen was sent to France to marry the Vicomte Be was dcarcely a model wife. After and recriminations, her husband journeyed to Martin- -ique, where he hunted up detalls of nis wife's early. Failidg to secure a decree, he sent Josephine back to Martinique, where she rematned until 1790. At that time Beluharnais was a member of the Constituent Assem- bly, and Josephine joined him in France. Later he was made commander of the army of the Rhine. Through one of the countless sudden turns of the French revolution, Beauharnals was executed, in 179, and Josephine was thrown into prison. On her release she found hetself reduced to pen- ury, and dwelt here and there in France, picking up a living as best she could for herself and her two children.

So, with many dramatic expressions of regret, he divorced Josephine in 1810 and proceeded to look about ‘him for a wife of royal lineage. He settled $400,000“a year on Josephine for life, permitted her .o xeep the title of Empress, and frequently turned to her for companionshifii and advice.
