This, however, Is not official, for this dressmaker will neither affirm nor deny the ru mor He will jump For the last six months white hair, whether given by nature or by the liberal use of the powder puff, has been the rage In Paris, and there Is no telling but what In a year from now we will re gard with unmoved countenance hair of azure blue, rose, pink or violet Who can tell?
