Paris coiffeurs
1t was perhaps with a certain
something lacking in the knowledge
of feminine psychology, this attempt
to group women in general with a
movement to shear off the locks, The
direct answer to the direct question
was: Women insist on looking attrac-
tive. Only few women look really
attractive with bobbed hair. 1t be-
comes few when they have got the
face to go with it. The face and hair
must work together. And shorS hair
is not an easy matter to keep in shape.
1t must be worked and fused over
morning and night if it is to be seen
always at it's best Bobbed hair is a
snare and delusion."
"But leave out the question of
mode" we insisted doesn't it sound
sensible that the working girl should
be able to dispense with the slavery
of long hair which she must work over
each morning to the detriment of rest
and time clocks?"
Paris Hairdressers Give
Verdict on Bobbed Style
"Ah, @@n sieur," we were reminded,
"does nos the little working girl want
to look attractive ?"
That was the end of the argument.
PaS9s hair dressers are against bobbed
aaSr. The hard, cold verdict is
peiacd "No." All that remains is to
give the decision in extenso
Among those most qualified to speak
is, perhaps, Monsieur Armand Holtz,
noted authority among Paris coiffeurs,
and, incidentally in addition, proprietor
of one of the largest French per-
fumeries, SO we'll up, in fact, in his
art that he once figured as member
OF the Chamber of Deputies.
Monsieur Holtz's ideas are backed by
others who are high in the trade
"There are women in every class of
society who bob their hair" said the
authority. "But you can't call it
mode. 1t is different in America, but
in France very few of those who are in
high society indulge in the custom. If
may say so, I'm afraid that the Gus
tom is more general among our demi-
mondaines.
Short hair is not more practical, be-
cause woman with long hair becomes
adept at the practice of putting it up,
whereas, unless bobbed hair is natu-
rally curly, it requires long time to
make it attractive. Wouldn't short
hair look frightful falling straight
down either cheek? N'est-ce pas?
"On the other hand, short hair is
much less elegant than long hair, be-
cause not every coiffure suits every
woman. The hair must harmonic to
the face. If ths;Sace is long and thin.
it is the hair that counteracts this
facial misfortune. 1t must be waved
out on the sides and in the back. Pile
hair high on the head Of woman with
a long facediable! A short. wide
face needs the opposite treatment.
And ask you how could you, how
could You do short, wide face with
bobbed hair? Mon Dieu!
Different faces, different express.
sions. different coiffures, n'est-ce pas?

OF Tresses, Is Rule Now
The best coiffeurs in Paris, The
Tribune learns, refuse to bob their
clients hair unless the client brings
the right visage along with the fancy.
Recently q young countess went to a
second-rate coiffeur and had her hair
dyed. It was SO poorly done chat she
rushes! to specialist and insisted on
having the hair cut short. II was
straight hair, but her face was not i
hair-bobbing face. The coiffeur, who
is well known among noble clientele,
refused to "besmirch his art" sAnd
| the young countess's hair soon became
| normal again and all was WE'LL" re-
counted the coifeur with earnest pride,
and she thanked him for thwarting her
