Chinese women are not only ahead
Of American and English women in
the matter of suffrage, but there are
many who say they have a more at
tractive manner of arranging their
hair than have Europeans or Ameri-
cans. At any rate, the Chinese hair
band is being extensively worn. The
colorings of these bands are very ef
fective. Blondes generally choose q
band with a background decorated
with flowers and butterflies in natural
colors, while the brunette favors a
pale colored ground appropriately de-
