Powdered wigs soon bore a strong association with royalty王权 and nobility尊贵 in the country, and this attitude spread throughout Europe and followed early settlers to the New World.<br><br>The powder in a noble's wig was not purely aesthetic美的 but served a practical purpose as well. <b>The first wigs were made from the hair of horses and goats and were never properly cleaned due to the limited technologies of the day. </b>As natural products, they also tended to attract lice. In an effort to ward off the bugs as well as mitigate the stench臭气, the wearer of the wig would apply a special powder before wearing it, and men also frequently shaved their heads beneath the wigs to help discourage lice（louse 虱；虱子~~mouse mice） from taking up residence. Recipes for the wig powder varied, but the most popular preparation was a combination of finely ground starch scented有香味的浆粉 with essence of lavender or orange flower薰衣草和橘子花. Powdered wigs became a staple of formal dress events in the 1800s and remained a symbol of class and refinement优雅 until nearly the end of the century. <b>In recognition of the history of the hairpiece, some English high court officials continue to wear wigs patterned after the powdered coifs to this day.</b><font color="#39b54a"><br></font></div> <b>polish</b> : rubbing a surface to make it smooth and shiny <b>iron the newspaper</b><div><b>iron: </b>to make clothes, etc. smooth by using an iron （用熨斗）熨，烫平</div> <b>Why did newspapers need ironing?</b><div>to dry the ink so it won't get on your hands, and to get the creases 褶皱 out to make it easier to read.
