Carol was startled. She was shocked .
But the feeling uppcrmost In her mind
was not jealousy. She did not love
Nick so it was impossible to feel any
emotion Of that kind because Of his in
fatuation for another woman. What
she did feel was sheer amazemcDt that

her that he loved her, could stoop to

About Bobbed Hair

Dear Cynthia-Tm coming TO you for
Information concerning bobbed hair. DO
you really and truly think II is going
out of style? Do you really and truly
know that IL is going out? want 10
bob mine, but am sort OF on the fence and
don't just know which side to fall on.
You know what mean. the vital ques-
ton Is. ITO bob or not 10 bob" I want
to do It SO badly, and yet don't want 10
do 1t and ind out right after my tresses
have been shorn that long hair Is the
thing. Ny word. wouldn't that be rather
awful? But TO consider it seriously: |
don't think that II Is going out: I've
talked 10 several bobbed hair girls, and
they all say that they will not let their
hair grow long for Il very long time.
They have more time, especially bust.
ness girls. and that Is what um, and
every few hours I have 10 stop and see
tina, my locks are in place. wear hair
nets; my word yes. They will be the
death OF me sonC day, but AL this Is
rather beside the point They say that
they got more becoming hats, and ono
thing OF which I would like TO be sure Is
that when they go out any place. Ike the
take their hats off their hair looks
nice, and mine after take my hat OF
is rather fat. and have TO poke It W
with n hairpin and incur peoples re.
rarts about my elbows being up IN the
air instead OF down at my side. PlcaGe
cynthia, let me know, and. IL possible
let some readers give their opinion as Ia

which I hope Is not the CAGE.
WELL. WISIIER FOR BOBBED HAIR
Better judge for yourself. Bobbed
hair is passe. according TO fashions de.
cree. but the hairdressers say there Is
, no let.up in the number OF those whc
are having their hair bobbed and waved
It's all right for girls OF sixteen and
seventeen. but older than that it's better
