interesting Chat About Bobbed

The society editor of the Miami
metropolis writes interestingly as fol-
lows OF the increasing popularity of
"Bobbed hair" among the maids and
matrons Of the Magic City:
"Bobbed hair may be going out of
vogue in Paris and New York, but
here in Miami, the fashion center of
tnls section of the country, bobbed
halr is more popular thap ever be-
fore Miami girls are Just beginning
to know what won1 srful thing Il
IS, and all the girls With bobbed hair
must be banded together secretly in
an anti-long-hair league or else bob
oed hair is really what the chopped
haired ones say it is. For one and
all, bobbed hair is their favorite topic
OF conservation, and they can't rest
until all their friends nave it.
At card party a few days ago,
the bobbed hair topic was decidedly
the most popular. Nearly half the
women had it, and l believe by now
l most OF the others have it, too. There
were lots Of women who have been
married for years who have recently
fallen victims, and they were the
loudest and most enthusiastic boost
ers. One woman had thrown away
ten years of bobbed hair, while 9TH
ers necks never looked so long, nor
faces so wan and thin.
Type has nothing to do with it at
all, they say. Tall and short, fat and
lean, all should have bobbed hair. If
you have thick, long hair, then how
easy it will be to make it look nice,
and if you have thin. fine hair, you
should bob it in order to get it thick
er.
Some women raised the objection
that they could not keep a curl in
their hair, but that was easily over
ruled. How easy it is to put bobbed
hair up on kid curls over night
(and how comfortably and how
much longer a curl will say in short
hair than in long! I seriously doubt
this, and know marcel wave would
be required oftener if that were the
means of keeping the hair curled
Unless bobbed hair is very thick it
should alweys have curl, while long
aair can be fixed without a curl when
it is necessary.
When the idea was brought UP
that bobbed hair was not becoming
to everyone, the bobbed hair enthu-
siasts declared that it could be fixed
so that it didn't look bobbed One
woman, who has had her hair bobbed
since March proved this by showing
how she fixed her hair with a net.
Some of US had to admit that we
didn't even know she had bobbed
hair, but We couldn't see the advan-
tage of that kind
But when the weak arguments of
the long-haired women were repeat
edly moved under by the formidable
and striking remarks of the other
faction, some of, the long-haired ones
changed front. Before the bridge ses-
sion was over SO many had changed
front, in fact, that l am sure there
must be new bobbed heads on every
hand. There are two splendid argu-
ha Io; 81
er, and it is wonderful for those who
like to swim often.
Il can't bob my hair because my
husband said he would divorce me if
did, one woman said If she real
ly believes that man can get a di-
vorce for such a trivial reason, she
deserves all the unreasonable de-
mands her husband makes upon her.
know some women who could mt
wait to get to the barber il their
husbands said such tactless thing
to them. And I wouldn't blame them
either.
Getting back to the bobbed-hair
popularity in Miami, it really is in
creasing. One of the leading beauty
parlors in the city has had q wo-
men who have never had bobbed hair
come for hair cuts in the past three
weeks! Just one shop, and all new
heads-that's going some, now isn't
it?"
