artists openly admit a shortage OF hair
TO meet the new demand for switches
and false ~ringlets and transformations.
This ought to provide a remuneratlve
business in itself.
The present trend of beauty fashion
gives to women a glorious opportunity
to remodel herself from head to foot.
for l am told, too, that high shoes will
be back this winter and will appear IN
various colored feathers and cloths n
satins to tone in with the elongated
skirt And is it not half the fun of
living and working TO be able to renew
ones self from hair bolicle to toenail!
When that spirit departs US, we are
getting ready TO adopt the rhythm OF
The well known Chopin tune which
heats us sedately on to a land where
the harpists wear a n piece uniform
or else to the opposite shore where
there is never so much as a hint of
coal shortage.
To the Memory of M. Marcel
If any one amongst us bears a
rrduge. she should look for the one
who forced the long skirt upon us.
That one is responsible for all these
radical departures from the giddy
freedom of a year ago: a trip to
Paris will be involved. Paris dictates
feminine hirsuteness quite as autocrat-
ically as she does our dress. There
the marcel wave was born, educated,
and raised, and then sent out to do
missionary work on countless thou
sands of American heads.
And it might be noted in passing,
that this year in that same city there
will be accorded the memory of NJ.
Marcel. Grand Knight of the Curling
Iron. a celebration of the fiftieth an
niyersary of the famous wave upon
which he rode to fame and glory.
ices grande artistes with the brush
and comb and tong never did approve
of the chopping block system since
the days of revolution. Unless the
lady's hair is naturally curly, she has
to spend more time than ever in the
coiffeur's chair, and unless her face
is the face that calls for bobbed hair,
not all the kings coiffeurs nor all the
kings men can make her as attractive
as an artistic arrangement of her own,
attached locks.
More Trouble Than Long Hair
Thus mighty rulers dispense with
| the economy of time, labor and becom-
ing arguments:
Bodied hair is q snare and a delu-
| sion,' said one brave with a scalp In
his hand to which he was applying the
marcel doctrine. 1T is much more
trouble to keep it looking well-it
must be worked and fused owe morn
ing and night and during the luncheon
and during the show. Aren't women
always fussing with it and worrying
if it is all right?
Yes. and how many faces have you
| seen that were improved by it? Not
many. Only a few women look well
with bobbed hair. 1t is not elegant.
That's the answer" he said, with
finality.
As Mamie's friend would say. Lets
be iligant. We gotta be iligant like
everybody else"
Different Faces, Differene Colffeur:
An American recently returned from
Paris tells me some of the best coil
feurs in Paris refuse to bob a eli
ent's hair unless she brings the right
visage to the slaughter. They refuse
to "besmirch their art" as one put it
If this brand of conscience had beer
put to the test on more of our Amer
lean heads, the bobbed mode would
have remained longer, l suspect. Blu
what visages have been carried to thu
clipping parlor with the fancy! Girls
whose greatest hope lay in the def
trick of making the hair help the fac,
out where it was weak and wanting
older women, with short, fat necks
emerging from the clippers han,
neither a thing Of beauty nor a JOY 70
long. Pile hair up high on the hea'
of one like that, and she might havI
emerged triumphant uber allies.
No. you cannot apply Stephen De
catur's right or wrong to a Who'll
country of heads.
Different faces, different expires
sions. different coiffeurs, nest c
pas?" say the dictators.
