NEW YORK.-The bobbed-hair
girl has been the proud recipient OF
more attention than one class OF
female young person is apt to meet
within lifetime. She has been the
center of the stage, but she has not
always known just how to dress.
She will resent this statement,
for above all other types Of girls
make herself beautiful. She is al.
ways cute and sweet looking. We
will grant her that. But, oh, some
times she falls down horribly when
it comes to the clothes she wears.
What is the use of creating all
that background of pretty fluff about
your face, only to mar it with the
wrong sort Of clothes?
And, there is still another STUN

her bob?I Do you realize that there
is every Importance in the way in
which the hair is cut? There is moth
ing more of mistake than just to
snip off the hair regardless of the

head, the poise of the shoulders and
It takes an artist to cut hair prop
erly. And any girl is taking her life
in her hands if she has the cutting
committed by any old barber along
the street. She should, by all means,
go to a hairdresser who knows his
business if she is to join the army
which is proving that short hair for
women has come to stay.
An extremely smart hairdresser,
who hobs one head after the other
all day long and every day of the
week, told me that most women had
more to face when they er Cered the
bobbing chair than they had any
idea Of. "In the first place." said
he, ''bobbed hair must always be
kept curled if it is to look like any
thing at all. Now the majority of
girls do not possess naturally curly
hair and this fact brings them face
tC face with the curling proposition,
which is expensive and takes time
and is not weatherproof."
But can't they curl their OWN"
ask I, naively.
'They cam" he growled, "but look
at the messiness of the result when
they do"
He didn't like the home-curled
brand, that was evident.
And" he continued, "only one
girl in a thousand looks we'll 18th

BObbing Not Advised
So you who are not bobbed and
are contemplating the step, think
twice before you commit yourself to
months Of short-hairedness that is
rot really becoming.
And you who already have short
hair turn your attention to the dress
ing Of yourself SO that your hair be-

be that. 1t should be so interesting
looking that every one you meet will
say: Goodness me-! I believe, after
all, that short hair is prettier than
any other sort of headdress."
Hats for the short-haired girl
are about as important as any
other part of her wardrobe.
Haven't you often seen a hat
that sWamped short-haired
girl? II your own hair is short,

pretty soon your eyes would be
covered altogether by the de-
