There is a certain pretty primless
about the Bobby coiffure, besides its
suggestive of youthfulness, to account
for its ever-growing success. This
particular style is developed in several
ways but all of them are, first of all,
neat. In them the hair seems to be
carefully arranged and put in place
to stay in place. One cannot imagine
1t blown about. 1t is, in fact, pinned
down with many small pins and furth-
er confined with a hair band of some
sort. This manner of dressing it helps
the coiffure to fulfill what is required
of It, OF course this quality of neat
ness carries with 1t the impression Of
refinement.
In this style the hair at the sides
is either cut short or dressed in such
way as to appear "bobbed" 1t is
said the hair is benefited by being
cropped, If it is thin, SO that those
whose locks are scanty may sacrifice
some of them to the style without
regret But where the hair is abun-
dant this is not to be considered. The
cleverness of the hairdresser must be
relied upon to dispose of the extra
length BY curling under the ends. or
by Gombing them out Of the way and
substituting some acquired short hair
for them. This is one of the styles
In which long hair is more difficult to
handle. than short hair. And it in
vites the use of extra pieces because
they need only to be very light and
are easily adjusted.

and hard winter so they say. Chestnuts
