for the two or three weeks be-
tore Easter tho barbcrs-the pro-
sressive ones who have mastered
oreadfully ovcrworkcd. Women
teoso who had never been bobbcd be-
iore--seemed to be impelled by some
strangely contagious desire to have
lhcir hair cut At first it was dill
cult for the barbers-feverishly ply
ing their long -bIadcd scissors and
electric clippe rs-to understand this
mad impatience to become bobbed.
lhcn they learned that the women
we're really not to blame. II was the
,,nluiners who bad flooded the mar
vet with hats that never in the world
any woman whose long hair was
Still with her. 1t was the very ex-
ceptional woman who solved this
problem by having her hat made to
9rder. The more obvious thing to
10 was to have ones hair bobbed.
In one city of about two and a
han million two thousand were
noobed a day. And these were new
victims, not just the old bobs who
wanted to be trimmed and curled
fo- 1 inns rate 1t would not take long
LOT every woman in the country to
oe rid of her hair. Tho only thing
mat would save us from this calam-
iity-or bleSStng-is to have the mil
liners recognize that the world of
women consisted of the unbobbed as
Well as the bobbed-women who
wanted their head sizes as large as
nad been customary in the unbobbed
rays. And this is exactly what the
mliIlners now have done
Moreover, there seems to be a
growing disposition on the part of
really Well dressed women to have
their hats made to order. Even when
You have your head bobbed your
mead may not be exactly the size the
mlliners have agreed on for the
average hat
Meantime new fashions have ap-
Peared in the way of bobbed hair. In
idct, if this mode of arranging the
halr is to continue in favor with
mart women there must be changes
of style from time to time. One of
the newest ideas is to have the bob
cut in d point at the back, thus OBJ
waiting the unpleasant effect of the
neck closely shaved at the back
some women seek to depart from the
ordinary by having a mans barber
cut their hair and wear it brushed
OF the face quite smooth and sleek.
New and decidedly piquant is the
straight bob with uneven ends-a
style that should be affected only by
the woman who really is young and
OF piquant features.

BEAUTY. CHATS
Eyebrows.

The eyebrows often lo.ok as though
they need to be brushed and combed.
They spread in a strae,gIy and hap
hazard fashion over the eyes: they
do not lend beauty to the expression.
they detract from it. You should
brush your eyebrows at least twice a
day, and oftener if when you powder
your face you get powder on them.
You can purchase eyebrow brushes,
or, if you don't want to go to that ex-
pense, you can use an old tooth brush
At the present moment eyebrows
set well above the eyes are consid-
cred the most beautiful. II you
haven't this sort, you can do a great
deal toward achieving the effect by
brushing all the hairs directly up
ward and then running the eyebrow
brush or the fingers lightly over the
top of the hroW$ to draw the ends of
tho hairs together.
If you want TO strengthen the eye
broWS, pull them the way you do your
hair, catch a. number of the hairs be
tween the thumb and the forcfinger
and pull gently, repeating this until
you have gone the length of each
eyebrow. This pulls out the weak
hairs, which you want to get rid of
