E=5SEHSBHSMB^HHaHBSSBSMS=aS55H?SB? MUST HAVE BEEN BURDEN Wonderful Headdreeeee Worn' by Ladle* of the French Court Some Centuries Ago. Women often spend much time in arranging or "dressing" their hair, but this part of a woman's toilet is not carried to such an extreme as it was two or three centuries ago. Ladies have worn "puffs" in quite recent days, but these were as nothing in the matter of elaborateness to the "puff" or "pouff" in vogue in the court of France when that court in the sixteenth, seventeenth and part of the eighteenth centuries was the most splendid and sumptuous in Europe. Then the headdress most in vogue wus a "pouff." The hair was raised as high as possible over horsehair cushions, and the structure was ornamented with objects illustrative of the tastes and the history of the wearer. As an example, the duchess d'Orleans on her reappearance at court after the birth of a son and heir, had on her'pouff a representa- ! tion in gold and enamel of a nursery, showing the cradle and the baby, a nurse and a number of playthings. Mme. d'Effmont. thp dnr> dp PipIjp 0 1 " " V lieu's daughter, after her father had taken Port Mahon. wore on her pouff a little diamond fortress, with sentinels on guard, and those sentinels, by means of ingenious mechanism, walked to and fro. RELIC HUNTERS ARE FOOLED Only Imagine They Are Securing An. tlquitiea Which They Purchase in the Turkish Empire. There is a law in the Turkish empire prohibiting the exportation of relies and antiques more than one hundred years old, and the fact that it is on the statute books gives rise to the common practice of ottering spurious articles to the tourist. Real objects of art or of sufficient age to he of value are rarely to be purchased, and the general desire of the visitor, therefore, seems to be to obtain stones or pieces of clay from the sites of ancient ruins, or bricks with inscriptions. The former can probably be obtained, but they are practically valueless, as one piece of clay from Babylon is quite like another from Mosul. Bricks from either of these places that are known to he genuine are unobtainable. Even the Ocrman excavators, who until recently were at, work, were only allowed to photograph the antiques wmcti tliey found, sending tlie originals to the National museum at Constantinople or to some other place designated by the Turkish government. < TAKE NO CHANCES.
