More and more young girls and women
are adopting the bobbed nair fashions
so that most of the beauty parlors
which do permanent waving now
make a speciality for permanently
waving short hair. The unfortunate
part of this is that short ha:; has to
be cut about once a month so that the
wave is constantly being clipped off.
Otherwise the tendency is toward
very sophisticated type of hairdress-
ing: for instance. the hair pulled back
from the face as much as is becoming
and drawn to a knot that is quite high
in back. This IS a style that looks
very well on young girls and is almost
the only style that looks well on the
women with a weak or undeveloped
chin. Unfortunately it is a style that
makes a woman look a little older.
Hair is being waved more this sea
son than ever before. This TOO is I'M
fortunate because waved hair makes
q woman look older than straight
hair. But the waving this year is done
very lightly, that is, instead Of short,
stiff and artificial waves. the hair is
done very loosely indeed 1t is far
more becoming and far more natural
than the old method. If a woman
wants to initiate this at home, she can
do so best by moistening the hair and
rolling strands of it around very soft,
thick kid curriers'.
Fortunately no artificial hair is used
Hairdressers tell me it IS the position
of the knot, rather than its size, which
makes it fashionable

OCEANS HARD TO IMAGINE
People of the Middle Ages Found 1t
Difficult to Conceive Extent
Of Waters.

Eratosthenes was right; the earth
was globe. But what philosopher
ever imagined that 1t was so large !
Homer was right when he sang of the
mighty flood" but he was thinking
Of the insignificant Mediterranean
What poet had imagination enough to
picture the vastness Of the Pacific !
Many had surmised the truth. but none
had realized it's extent. When the
caravels of Columbus had sailed and
returned the wise ones Of the Renais-
sance were astonished by the story
brought home. It seemed impossible
that there could be so much water.
And still the girth Of the seas was
uncomprehended. 1t was only when
Magellan's Santa Vittoria had circum-
navigated the globe and dropped an
Choir in the Bay of San Lucar that a
realization of the world Of water be-
gan to dawn. The Atlantic was as
tonishing enough in all conscience !;
but the Pacific was overwhelming and

kind of a tunnel should connect
Richmond borough with the other
boroughs of the greater city Will be
shown 1t a meeting of h combined
civic bodies of Staten Island, Brook
Ign and Queens to be held at Bor-
ough Hall, st. George. Tuesday
night, December 10. The meeting
has been called to tax action
against the moving of the proposed
Broollyn-Staten Island tunnel so
that connection with this borough
will not be cut off.
a committee has also been named
in the meantime to a upon Mayor
Hylan and members of the board of
estimate in the matter. Plans for
the meeting next week were started
at the November meeting of the
s ten Island Civic League hen the
rumored tunnel changes occupied
practically the entire discussion of
the meeting.
Various speakers at that time
brought up the report that the New
York Port Authority is planning to
change the present tunnel route to
u from Brooklyn to GreenvIlle,
Jersey City and the Port of Newark.
1t was declared that plans are being
laid to have the present tunrel bill
passed by the last legislature amend
ed as soon as the 1922 session of the
state legislature is convened. A
change such as this would cut Staten
Island off from tube connections.
The meeting pm December 10 will
be attended by the Staten Island
Civic League. the Staten Island
Chamber of Commerce. the Brook
lyn Chamber of Commerce and
other civic organizations of Brooklyn
and Queens. The Long sland or
CARNATIONS are working il conjunc-
ton with the Staten Island bodies
against the proposed change. Under
the plan of the Port Authority the
tunnel between Long rIslandS and
New Jersey will miss Richmond
about 1000 feet. The Chamber of
Commerce is working hard to afford
a Staten Island connection with this
tube, thus giving an outlet for its
of its new municipal piers
and steamship lines.
