And even in the last year the hair habit has {n- creased by leaps and bounds, according to Miss Blanche Lewis, a colffeuse, whose establishment on Forty-difth street 1s patronized both by IMfth avenue and Broadway. ‘ “Bvery woman in New York who pre- tends to be well-dressed wears at least one piece of false hair,” asserted | Mies Lewis, positively. “Most of them | Wear more tham that. ames “The prejudice agatnst weartng hair that grew on somebody else's heal wa: swept away five years ago when puffs came in.

And if that sum represents the dealings of a single com- Dany, you may Just figure out for your- eelf the total amount of feminine ex- penditure for rats, puffs, curls, braids and ewitches in this year of 1913.
