Filipino Girls
Slo,U to Adopt
BObbed Hair

MANILA, June 3.-While Filipino
girls, in small numbers, have for
some time shown tendency to
adopt European dress. it is only re.
Gently that they have ventured into
the field of bobbed hair. Only a
few so far have yielded to the temp
tation to clip their long black locks,
but many predictions are made that
the custom will grow because of the
comfort afforded by short hair in
this tropical climate.
Parental objection is very strong
against the innovation, as the Fill
pino woman takes the greatest
pride in her long thick hair which
in many cases reaches to her an
