HEAD-DRESS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 338,101, dated March 16, 1886.

Serial No. 153,506. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, MARY A. PATON. a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Paris, county of Bourbon, State of Kentucky, haveinvented new and useful Improvenientsin Head-Dresses or Wigs, of which the following is a full and exact description, reference being had to tbe accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, in whichvtion to the head of a lady.

Figure l shows the application ofiny inven- Fig. 2 is 'a front View of the head-dress, and Fig. 3 a perspec tive View from the under side of same.

My invention consists in the combination, with alare or hair foundation having its outer surface provided with human hair, asin the ordinary construction ofwigs and head-dresses, ol' similar hair secured to the inner side ofthe foundation, the latter hair to be of sufficient length to extend beyond the edge of the foundation, so as to be combed or brushed in with the top hair, and rolled or turned back therewith, thus entirely hiding the edging` of the foundation and imparting to the wig or head dress a more natural appearance than hereto fore attained in the art of making saine.

The accompanying drawings contain illustrations of my improvement as applied to a ladysheaddress, showing saine fashioned into a combination of baugs," n, and "pompadour7 b. In this instance the under hair is secured to the inner surface of the foundation c, at or about the center of the front portion thereof. The width being about equal to that ofthe pompadour desired, the top hair at each side of the pompadour is brought forward over the edge of the foundation and made torest on the temples of the wearer, thus forming the bangs above referred to. The hair has a natural appearance, and can be combed in with the hair of the head and secured with the ordinary fastening thereof. It dispenses eutirely with the unsightly net, and does not require any wire or other hard substance to keep it in shape or position. The hair is well `ventilated, and being softis of butlittle weight; hence it does not hurt the head, but can be worn with the greatest comfort and ease in all kindsof weather. The hair can be dressed on the wearers head by simply running a oo mb through it and combing at the sides as though it were thenatural hair ofthe head. if the ponipadour b is not becoming to the wearer, it can be transformed Ainto beautiful bangs by simply bringing the hair of saine to the front and combing down on the forehead with a wet comb( This invention is durable, as well as light, and when properly placed on the head the closest observer cannot detect it from being the wearers own natural hair.

Having described my inventioirwhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,

is- Y ,Y

As a new article of manufacture, a headdress or wig composed ofa lace or hair foundation having its outer surface covered with hair in the usual manneignin combination with hair secured to the inner side thereof in such manner that the hair of the two surfaces may be brought together and combed, substantially as described.

[n testimony whereof I afx my signature in presence of two witnesses.

MARY A. PATON.
