Bobbed Hair Disappearing !
''One Of the most remarkable features
OF the convention" stated Miss Miner in
closing was the absence Of hobbed hair .
among the delegates. Although there
vas the largest attendance ever a one
OF our conventions this year only ono
delegate had bobbed hair. which shows
tho fad is gradually losing it's hold over
the girls and young women OF our Coun-
try This Is more unusual than ever
when you take into consideration that
the attendance this year was close tn
800. Indica point to the fact that
next years convention will he the larG-
est and best in the history Of our or
ganization." a
