English Barristers Cling To Dignity-Lending Wigs Washington Traditionally garbed judges and barristers of London have finally doffed their wigs in the face of a sweltering heat wave. Thus the weather achieves, if only temporarily, what members of the House of Commons failed to do seven years ago when a proposed bill to ban the head coverings was decisively defeated. For centuries the British Em pire's legal dignitaries, plus a few parliamentary officials, have clug to their dignity-lending perukes or periwigs, to use old-fashioned terms. Other countries and other pro fessional groups doctors, mili tary men and clergymen long ago abandoned the custom. The British wig-wearing fraternity, however, not only carries on; it adds followers. Newly inde pendent Ceylon has taken over wigs along with British parl iamentary procedure.

Wednesday, October 12, 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUTE THREE Speaker of. the Ceylonese House presides in full-bottom perman ently, waved periwig. Clerks wear prescribed tight-curl tie backs. Comic or Tragic . Both men and women have gone in for false locks in one form or another since the days of the ancient Egyptians, the Medes . and the Persians. The Greeks designed special theat rical hairdos to accent tragic or comic roles. Roman wig mak ers imported large amounts of fair hair a hint that Roman ladies as well as centlemen preferred blondes. History-making women, from Cleopatra to Mary Queen of Scots, amassed huge wig collec tions. The Scottish queen who lost her head in 1587 had so many it was said she needed a separate coach to transport them. For men the heyday of wigs was not reached until the 17th and 18th centuries. The fashion started in France. Louis XIII, finding his own hair thinning, turned to a flatteringly luxuri ant substitute. His courtiers loyally followed suit, and the epidemic was on. Some of England's dandies, backed at first by Charles II, tried to hold out, but to no avail. Soon the King himself suc cumbed to a black, dashingly curled periwig that reached be low his shoulders. Gossips said the transformation resulted from His Majesty's fast-graying hair. Center of Storm The "wig mania" spread to the American colonies. Men of distinction preachers as well as governors and judges reach ed for the latest styles, while unbewigged Puritans railed against the ungodly practice. Wigs were attacked and defend ed in church and tavern. Bost on's eloquent pastor, Increase Mather, called them "Horrid Bushes of Vanity." But the "bushes" continued to flouish. Under such imagine ative names as "She Dragon," "Feather-top," "Foxtail," and ''Wild Boar's Back," they appear ed in curled, waved or pigtail forms, flat or in mountainous puffs. Costs mounted for daily care and periodic repairs. So did stories of mice and birds that made nests in the powdered and pomaded creations. The decline of the wig era coincided with the revolution ary period of the late 1700's, when such adornments were out of keeping with the spirit and problems of the times. From then on the frankly flamboyant peruke- gave way to the unob trusive toupe, or hairpiece as it is now known. . The making of modern hair pieces is a highly skilled and efficient business. But its clients don't go in for advertising. The first question of potential wear ers, dealers say, is whether, the piece will look real. Second, can one sleep in it? To the latter query the answer is, "Yes, but it won't last so long" CLECTRIC DQYDD I ' -tf ' c "i ! Qj i ' Yes, here is the quick easy way to freedom from washday weather worries.
