WRITER TELLS OF
ART IN COIFFURES
It's interesting to not? tn Stefan
Zweig's “Marie Antoinette” how the
coiffeurs of the day reflected tlie ac
tivities of the woman of the period.
Just as do our own, Antoinette Don
neMr comments. In the Chicago Trib
une.
.tells how the coiffures of
tiie ill-fated queen's era wore built
“The second great task of llie
queen's hair." we read. "In superb
style a great artist, one Monsieur
Leonard, drove a six-in-hand every
morning from Paris to Versailles to
practice his craft on the queen with
comb, washes, and towels. Inventing
new devices from day to day.
“Just as Mansard, the far is ar
chitect, surmounted the houses built
•by him with tiie artificial roof which
goes by his name, so dhl Monsieur
Leonard construct above the fore
head of every lady of rank a tower
ing edifice of hair decked with sym
bolical ornamentations.”
The hairdressing operation Itself
4s described by Zweig:
“To begin with, by means of huge
hairpins and a lavish expenditure of
stiff pomade the hair was strained
upward from tiie temples like a
huge, flaming candle, about twice
the height of the pointed head dress
of a Prussian grenadier; then. In
the free space. IS Inches above the
eyebrows begin* tiie artist's plastic
panoramas,with fruit, gardens, homes,
panorams, with fruit, gardens, houses,
ships, the sea in a storm, the whole
motley world modeled with the comb
on the summit of the ‘pouf,’ but
tiie eveqt. of the day had to be sym
bolized in this superstructure.”

Popular Myth About
Goats Was Exploded

idea that goats eat tin cans, shoes
and discarded newspapers is just
“another myth” accord.ng to
Evert S. Thornteldt, who operates
a goat ranch on the Mt. HoIIy

“A goat is the cheapest of all
animals to feed," he said. “I used
to keep cows but found that goats’
milk was more nourishing, so I
changed to goats.
“I can feed 12 goats on the
same pasturage required for one
cow. But don’t you believe the
stories you hear about goats eat
ing cans and old papers.”
Thornfeldt came to Ney Jersey
from Minnesota where he used to
be a dairy farmer.
