where, oh, where has all the hair
gonef" Is the question that arises in the
minds of the curious when they see all
the round heads and long heads. fat
heads and other varieties that once were
adorned with puffs and curls, rompa-
dours and psyche knots. not to mention
| the rats" and rolls that made up a
foundation for all the above mentioned
varieties Of hair dress.
The question is not, however, what has
become OF the bobbed hair to be seen
in any direction one may turn, but what
became of the part OF the hair removed
to produce the bob"
That's easy remarked cynical
man. They leave it at the hair stores
and the hairdressers make it up into
switches and puffs and sell It to some
repentant one who discovers too late
bobbed hair was not meant for the whole
feminine sex, regardless Of size, shape
or age
"All wrong" declared Thomas W.
Smith. who, for four years, has been
cutting Off and putting on and waving,
where no wave ever was, the hair of
Indianapolis women--and men, too.
PRIZE FIGHTERS
LIKE MARCELS.
Mem" exclaimed the unbelieving ques-
TONER.
Yes, indeed" responded Mr.. Smith.
| Lots of them-actors, prize fighters, de-
partment store clerks-you would be sur
prised lin the words Of Eddie Cantorl TO
know how many OF our best beloved
matinee heroes pay SO much per curl Tor
their marcel. And the prize fighters
think how valuable 1t is for them to have
a wave that won't come out"
Wont even o prize fight take It out,
he was asked.
Neither a fight nor a bath. nor any
thing else that Is commonly considered
fatal to false curls. ! have had only one
customer whose curls lasted only two
weeks. He was handsome young
Apollo who clerked at the silk counter In
one OF the department stores In town.
That ought not TO be harmful to curls.
What happened TO themi' the inquirer
questioned
THE county shaved them OF for him.
He got so busy keeping up with the
styles he took to stealing silks and was
sent away to the penal farm. And then
It was goodby curls. The countw didn't
seem to care hang II he had paid out
his money--or the stores money-only
couple of weeks before to acquire that
wonderful wave"
"But the women-what becomes Of their
shorn locks? he was asked. do they
leave them here or sell them to you after
you cut them offs"
WOMEN VALUE IT
ABOVE REAL WORTH.
Neither one" he said. I'm the first
place, women seem 10 feel their hair IS
OF much greater value than II really is
| Il the hairdresser, at least--even II more
| than 5000 Of them have had their hair
| bohbed IN my shop alone during the last
| fodr years. Some Of them want to sell
| il for much more than II Is worth to US,
others carry It home and treasure It in
/ the top dresser drawer against the time
when they will need il as a switch to re-
/ inforce their short locks. Then they
| bring it in and have it made up.
II. is never as successful, however. as
| hair that Is grown for the purpose
Most Of It has been shampooed with
| soap. very little Of it is naturally curly
and no one but the original owner would
| think il valuable, anyhow"
What DO you mean by hair grown for
the purpose? Who grows it," he was
asked
Peasant women In Europe. They make
