Rats!

X KONSOOR MARCEL, the
M Frenchman who invented
~ the Marcel wave, has just
issued dictum to the effect that
rats have come back and many
ladies are wearing them. Again
woman's crowning glory is some
other woman's hair.
The bobbed hair craze, accord
ing to the monsoon, was only for
the war period. Now comes the
built-up coiffure with its myriad
Of rats.
The older residents will remem-
Der what rats were. They were
small round bundles Of hair used
as underpinning and every lady
had enough hair, apparently, to
stuff a parlor sofa. In the old
days, almost anything could be
used as rats - high school
diplomas, nicely rolled; old stock
ings, likewise rolled; cold frank
furters, old newspapers and ex-
celsior. Some blondes used ex-
celsior almost exclusively.
Switches were also popular and
are again coming in. The old
time novelists used to writei
"And her wealth Of. hair, un-
loosed, fell to the floor"-and in
many cases, 1t stayed where II
fell, II she didn't pick 1t up and
take it with her.
There were cunning devices for
the matching Of real hair with
switches and, in fact, the observ-
er was seldom able to tell which
was switch.
In the old days when witches
and rats were here before, one
newspaper report said: "Mrs.
Jones's hair turned white with
fright when burglars entered the
house and this was considered
very strange in view Of the fact
that her hair was hanging in .
room upstairs"
American women have already
taken up the rat. A report tells
us that forty-seven large bales
of goats whiskers are on the way
here from Europe to be made up
into rats. Now when you see
a luxurious pompadour you can
truthfully say: That's the goats
whiskers, all right"
