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

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.
