"All kinds of people wear wigs, said Louis Lehner of Clifton, N.J. "Jersey politic ians as well as actors who want to impress the public, and a truck driver who wants to look as young as he can, or some big-shot, executive try ing to duck company retire ment policies." Wear Hair Piece Women also wear hair pieces, Lehner confided just as many womenas men, in fact. Lehner, a hefty 5-foot 7, Vienna -born wigmaker, has turned out several thousand wigs and toupees during his 12 years of doing business in Newark. The toupees cost anywhere from $75 for a small piece to $350 for a full head of hair. Wigs for the ladies-or "trans YOU GET OVER 100 OCTANE AND MUCH MORE!

Hair Boiled Upon receiving the hair Beatified Mother Seton, the wife of a Protestant pastor before her conversion to Catholicism, was a native-born New York er who founded the Sisters of Charity of St. Joseph. She died in 1821 after doing much to organize parochial schools. Beatification is one of the first steps towards eventual sainthood, a process that sometimes takes many years.

He has several hundred pounds of cut hair in 500 different col ors and three different tex tures - fine, medium and coarse. Lehner blends three or four hair colors to achieve the de sired color, since natural hair is made up of different shades. The next step is to examine a pre-bald photograph of the customer. He tries on various wigs during the first appoint ment in order to select the one most becoming. The next step is to place a paper pattern of the wig on a wooden head and trace its out lines in heavy black pencil. Ribbon is placed on this trac ing and silk lace is sewn on the ribbon to form the wig's foundation. An elastic band is fitted across the back. The wig foun dation is fitted to the custo mer on his second appoint ment.
