NEW YORK, Oct "a shop girl
turned to her sister worker behind
the counter one day and remark ed
in a tone of disgust. Mamie, you
simp. why don't you bob your hair
like all the other girls. and show
some signs of originality"
The augury for the approaching
beauty session is that Mamie will
be advised now to show the same
signs of originality by doing her
hair up again.
Bobbed hair Is doomed by the
edict of coiffeur artists in Paris. and
we, original as all the rest of the
sheep who follow their leader no
matter whittier he leads. will drag
out the old pigtail and set about
finding ways and means of attach
ing it somehow, somewhere, to the
tickle scalp again.
Might as Well Surrender.
Some of New York's best hair
dressers who have reaped a harvest
out of clipping and pruning and
permanently waving the bobbed
heads are putting up a fine barrage
of protest. declaiming in terms en-
phatic that the bob goes merrily on
and will continue so to do Gf they
have any voice in the crisis now
become internationally. But the
signs-they point, and when they
do you might just as we'll surrender
now as later. We all do eventually.
l would be willing to wager II a
Partisan edict were broadcasted to
tie up one leg and use a pearl

crutch handle.
1t were we'll that an ,overabun-
dance of humor was not incorpor-
ated into our ridiculous sex, else we
would never experience the thrill
of looping off our locks one week
and the next attempting to lop them
right back on again: yank out our
eyebrows one day and try to chase
them back onto first base again the
next, nor one season how far we
could go one way with skirt
length, how far in the opposite di-
rection the next.
Demand for Switches.
Some. others of New York's Golf.
| fure artists openly admit a short
| age of hair to meet the new de.
mand for switches and false ringlets
and transformations. This ought tc
/ provide a remunerative business II
| itself.
The present trend Of beauty
fashion gives to women a gloriou.
| opportunity to remodel herself from
head to foot. for I am told too, that
high shoes will be back this winter
and will appear in various coloret
feathers and cloths and 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 ha'r follicle to toe
nail? When that spirit departs us
we are getting ready to adopt tn.
rhythm of the well-known Chopir
tune which beats US sedately on tc
a land where the harpists wear a
| one-piece uniform or else to the
| opposite shore where there is never
so much as a hint of coal short
age.
To the Memory of NJ. Marcel.
If any on amongst us bears a
| grudge, she should look for the
one who forced the long skirt upor
US. That one Is responsible for all
these radical departures from the
| giddy freedom OF year ago. A
trip to Paris will be involved Paris
| dictates feminine hirsuteness quite
as automatically as she does ouI
dress. There the marcel wave wa.
born. educated. and raised, and ther
sent out to do missionary work on
countless thousands 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
