At the enquiry in New York into the murder of iir ilhvell,' writer 011 bridge and man about town, it came out that he was bald and wore a wig- In .his houss were found no fewer than 40 wigs. i>o perfectly made were they, and s;o well fitting, that many of his most intimate irieuds never suspected that -he had not his own hair. ''Have you ever known a man have 40 wigs?'' a hairdresser was asked. He thought, for a moment. "No," he replied. "But one ot my customers has quite a dozen. The modern wig is quite different from the crudv. affair ot a lew years ago. Properly made, it de£cs detection. Ttoe man who is careful of his personal ;:p----pearaueo must hare several wigs ; showing the growth of the hair at different stages. _ After he has been wearing the !c:ig-haired one for a day or two the remarks casually to his triends and daily :isso:-iales: 'I must get my hair cut.' Next, day he appears in a" short-haired wig which gives ercry appearauec of having been newly cut."
