Women’s Hats and Baldness

A despatch from London declares that there must be some change in women's hats or women will become bald; that as grass turns yellow under a mushroom, so women's hair will lose its color and deteriorate under the gigantic hats which are now the mode. A specialist declares, "These enormous mountains of millinery shut out the health-giving sun and air; and then, too, they present such vast surfaces to the wind that they tug against the retaining hat pins like a kite on a string." He declares that the finest heads of hair in the world are to be seen in the South Sea Islands, where the women fish with uncovered heads under the rays of the sun and pour cocoanut oil on their hair.
