three qualities to obtain 1t is comparatively simple to
accept or even to promote liberty and equality in the

THE UNIVERSAL BOB

Bobbed hair is the great eveller 1t recognizes
neither class age The other day three generations
of family in Washington, d. c., had their hair bob
bed The abbreviating process started with the 20
year-old daughter continued with the 50-year-old
mother and ended with the 80-year-old grandmother.
1t only stopped there because there wasn't any great
grandmother to shear.
Youth as usual, protested against such radicalism
on the part of age. But the grandmother insisted that
she had just good right to be comfortable" as
her daughter and granddaughter, which was no more
than the truth.
1t does make confusion, in way-ths short hair,
in combination with short skirts regardless Of age.
Present styles abolish age in women, but what does
it matter? woman is old as she feels, and occa-
sona of youthful restoration is better than pill

Moreover any woman of 10 or 30 should be proud
of bobbed hair, if for other than that 1T

about that style of hair-dressing.
