Nancy lynne Tells of a Ne,o Way OF Bobbing the Hair
She Hears of Dance in Ne,cport-Polly
Denounces Father

r HAVE some startling news for you,
i but it's true, and I must pass It
along, il seems SO droll There's a
funny new kind of bobbed hair, and it's
taking hold and everyone up In Newport
il getting quite crazy about IL and is
having her head thusly cropped. This
IL not Just rumor, I've seen 1t myself.
Those who have not had their hair
bobbed before are, Of course, in better
condition to try this new arrangement
than the others, because you see they
allow the side locks to grow long ano
keep them long, then they bob the back
of the head and draw the long side locks
down and hold them at the back over
the bobbed hair. fastening them with
jeweled barettes. / saw one or two
Iris to whom It was very becoming.
IFS not the wild fluffy looking hair
that we're used to. but It is held
smoothly in place and it shows the
sbape of the head beautifully.
Personally l think this new style Is.
much as the old, becoming to the
Younger girl, but when she has reached
fhe twenties she looks better with her
'icrowning beauty" arranged on her
head and not cut of of 1t.
But the fad is gaining in Newport
and let me whisper 1t, / saw two
women who are beyond the twenties and
about whose ears / had spied few
stray white hairs one day, and they
have had their hair done so and
gossip has it, that even the grand
mothers will take 1t up.
WHILE on the subject of Newport,
w you know there was big affair
st the Naval Training station on
Thursday night for the benefit of the
navy relief fund. Everyone was there
and before the general dancing started
Mrs. Edmund Brandt, wife of Com
mander Brandt, sang beautifully, and
little Dorothy Goss, who is you know
the daughter of Commander and Mrs.
Nelson Goss, danced several esthetic
dances most gracefully.
Among the Philadelphians there were
Miss Julia Berwind, Mrs. Robert e..
Strawbridge, Mr.. and Mrs. Carter
Leidy, Mr.. and Mrs. George D. Wide
ner, Mr.. and Mrs. Howard Spencer
Graham, Mrs. Alexander Rice and Mr..
and Mrs. John Drexel.
They are going to have a presentation
of king Dodo" at the training station
on September o.
TN WONDERING If many of the
i women who are way up in Maine
and other New England resorts will
come racing down before Wednesday to
have their names put on the assessors
lists.
BY the way. how do you feel about it
all? Who are you going to vote for
Won't it be wonderful when you are
called on a jury and have to decide
whether some one is guilty or noti
It's fine this voting business and high
time we had the vote, but good night,
did you ever realize before that your
word might be demanded to decide
whether n man or woman is guilty OF
murder, for instance? Well. the poor
dear men have had to all along. so
guess they did not like it much either.
There are all sorts of possibilities
about it. Think what wonderful story
matter there'll be especially about the
first. 1t won't be bad to have women
criminals juried by women. 1t takes q
very smart woman to put one over or
another. Well. be that as 1t may. jus,
think how far some will have to truve
if they want to vote for President. They
have to be here before Wednesday oI
send positive proof to the assessors that
they live at such and such a place O,
their names don't 90 on. And you hav,
to travel at advance rates now, too
, It's fierce. | tell you. Nancy's glat
she's home. cause she's going to vote
you can bet.
Have you seen the cute little greer
elephants the women of the Republican
party are wearing? They are of jad,
and some have celluloid ones, which arr
very fair limitations of the real article
/ wonder what color in donkeys TIN
other party will choose. 1t takes tn,
women to put bit Of color into politics

The other evening several of mother
friends came up and sat on the porcl
