Let no one gather from this that
hair-pulling is or the increase. The
facts are that the view Of London hair
dressers, coiffeuesses and beauty ply
sicians is sadly accepted by the pro
fession here as the horrible truth.
Thanks to puffs. rats, wigs, switches
and other artificial formations that ex'
clude the air from the scalp, they say
the glorious tresses Of the American
woman are fading away like mists be

The most remarkable feature OF the
situation, as seen here, is that while

live in constant dread Of seeing q
woman come down the street with
nothing to pin her hat to, the business
men who manufacture and supply the
ai%r-excludlng accessories see no such
danger at all.
At Hepner's It was said recently;
THE idea that transformations and
other coifures press upon the scalp
and impede the circulation Of the
blood to such an extent that the hair
roots are killed is ridiculous. It would
take a much harder pressure than that
to have any effect on the hair, espe-
cially as these artificial aids have
nothing to do with the main portion Of
the scalp. They generally are built
upon masses Of real hair and have no
contact with the scalp"
There are several hairdresslng es-
adjustments in Twenty-fourth and
Sixteenth streets where this attitude
is not accepted. There is also one UNI

Sixth avenue, Just above Twenty-irst
street. where a tall woman, far, far
from bald, told a reporter that New
York women are rapidly losing their
hair.
And it's all the fault OF the 'transi
formations and puffs they are wear
ing" she said. IF they would bring
their natural hair to establishments
such as this and let it be treated nat
urally there would be no trouble"
