realize that well cared for hair is
supremely important. Try this ex-
pertinent some time: Ask u girl
which one of q group of women has
the best hair and the chances are
she will pick out q girl with u lux
lrious growth OF naturally curly
hair-ask a man and he VIII pick
some woman whose hair is very we'll
dressed and which has the appearance
Of having been habitualiy well cared

Fashion now makes compromises
between hair that is long and hair
that is short. Beyond a doubt. the
hair must be closely arranged-no
place now for enormous rolls and buns
of hair sticking out at the back or pill
ing on the top of the head. Even if
such things could pass muster SO far
as hair fashions go, they would make
It quite impossible TO wear fashion
able hats.
So, whether you are long-haired or
short, you must not have too much
hair. For this reason women with an
abundance of hair get their hair
dressers to thin out their locks, and
this is really very beneficial. Some
women have the back of the hair
kept short and only the sides are al
lowed to grow. The side pieces are
drawn down and around the back of
the head. the strand from one side
being neatly folded over the other
and held in place by a fiat comb
or pin of some kind.
There seems to be one occasion
when the long.haired woman has the
advantage and when the short-haired
sister misses her lost locks. This is
when she is dressed in conventional
riding costume and wants to wear a
derby or tall silk hat. These hatS-it

that it has devised a practical method
for eliminating this water, and il is
now commencing TO develop the

nH ton of hair length rather
i Il woman looks bit scornfully
on tho woman who has had
her hair bobbed or shingled--or else
she feels a species of amusement. The
short-haired woman becomes at once
n propagandist-she is an unpaid
booster of the Associated Women's S
