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. The

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"
