sHoRT-HAIRED GIRLS.

silly Young Women Who Have Their
Tresses Clipped for Fashions Sake.
Poets, artists and such impractical fell
lows have insisted that woman's
browning glory is her tresses, particu-
larly red, and the extent to which the
switch and false puff trade once obtain
tanned gave color to their assumed
knowledge; but it was reserved to the
Chicago girls to knock skywards the
prejudice of ages and with one snip OF
the shears depilate herself and con-
found the sticklers after precedent. The
precursor of short hair was the ''shing-
led bang, which, necessitating frequent
and regular attention aC rne hands of
the hair-dresser, accustomed the girls to
tonsorial attention. Next the fashion
of wearing ones own hair to the exch-
sion of some other woman's accustomed
society to the contour OF the cerebellum
and madeit difficult at ten PAGES to de-
termine whether the fair creature wore
her hair long or short when hat COW
cred the crown of the head. And so it
came to pass that the sound of the
shears was heard in the land and the
raven, chestnut blonde and golden
tresses fell like chaf before the wind and
,womankind had new craze to occupy
itself with. ~.
eve have all kinds" said Dollard
the hair-dresser. = Some have their
bangs cut clear across, some slanting,
some have them long and some short,
but nearly all have them all save the
'dudincs'-the, awfully English girls
who. promenade with the islims who
wear imported clothes. They
are the girls who wear ugly
tailor-made tweed suits, with tight
fitting sleeves, swing an umbrella, sway
the body at the waist, locomote in gem
tlemen's shoes and drag the hair back
from the middle of the forehead and let
itgo frowsy over the temples. The
American sort of girl goes a great deal
on the hair-dresser and has her hair
trimmed regularly. Some have il
curled by us every other day. Those
who wear those sweet little curls on their
neck, Just under the smoothed-up hair
that is carried to the top of the head,
have them trimmed. | can't tell you
why women cut their hair short. Neither
can they and you need not ask them.
It's the correct thing and that settles il,
The last few years fashions IN female
hair-dressing have ruined the hair trade
Very few switches are worn now. Much
hair is a disadvantage, and false frizzes
are almost things ofthe past. Manyla
dies donot even carry off their locks after
they have been cut. Some save them
with the idea of some day having them
made up. Undoubtedly many womenim
prove their hair by having it cut, be
cause they give the young hair chance
to grow, relieve the scalp from undue
heat and have more attention paid the
head than customary. Women who arr
contracting bald spots dom take kindly
to short hair, but, then, fewer womeI
than men get bald, and those that d,
have the bulge on the men, for they can
disguise it so neatly. With the depar
ture of false hair dyes and patent lotion
are going Hair restoratives, one am
all, are nothing more nor less than dyes
and people are learning to leave then
alone. Yes, hair crop harvest is at it
height, and it viii boom the hair trad
when big coiffures come in. IL take
about eleven minutes to clip off three
feet locks, and half as many years
grow them. "--Philadelphia Times.
