Show A XUW DANGER FROM W EARING FALSE IlilK. The dancer from wearing false hair i illustrated in a new and forcible way V'7 the recent exix rrienee of a Ma-a-ciiasctw dame, l'aneung that her -itural charms required art;Ue:al cn-c'har.tmut, cn-c'har.tmut, she- innocently purchased one ,.t tu. .so mysterious and tau-uke ap-pondanos ap-pondanos for the feuiile head known. we be.ieve, bv lhe Uclimeai name ot Switch.' It as a "switcii cqasl.r beautiful and becoming, and for a brie: space all was hair and happiness, but pre.-ently Madame tesran to feel an unpleasant un-pleasant sensadon about the throat every time she rssumed the foreisrn locks in point of fact, a choke. She would, in her own striking and piscatorial piscato-rial language, ''get as red as a boild lobster, and gap like a porpus'' dreadful dread-ful symptoms which disappeard as soon as the "switch" was removed.
