coming almost into the eyes. On
one side of the head you will find
a small jeweled OF plain tortoise
shell comb nesting gently in a
dainty fall of waves. while over
the other ear is the major part OF
the hair.
Other women prefer series OF
waves in the back of the head with
solf dip in the front. Among
some women a low group of short
curls low down on the neck is
favored. This is especially good for
low decollete with earrings.

Especially for evening wear is
the cciffure light, artistic, and
gentle. Severity of hair dress is
outcast. The masculine appearance
has become displeasing and shock
ing. Paris from its fashionable
women, to it's fashionable hair
dressers on the Rue de la Paix and
the Faubourg Sainte Honore, is
looking for the aesthetic hair bob.
More Waves Is Cry.
Combs and curls-sman combs
and miniature curls-are coming
back to their own. Waves-perman-
manent and finger by water-are
growing in popularity daily.
To be fashionable this winter one
should have graceful series of
small waves over the forehead

Paris, France, Tuesday-Death
to the boyish bob-"la couture
garconne"- is the adance winter
war cry of the master hair-cutters
of Paris.
Bobbed hair? Yes, more of it
than ever, but not a masculine
looking head. Cut the hair, but cut
is SO that the lines and curves of
the head express feminity and
womanly grace.
For the last three Or four years,
short hair has varied from the
wide. curly, full bob to the straight
classic Joan of Arc. Every season
women have asked for shorter and

the cutter stood by, and late at
night the storm abated so that the
barge was able to anchor until help
came from one OF the Neptune Co.

The crew was taken off the barge
Wednesday morning, and the tale
of the nights battle with the storm
told by the men rivalled anything

was at times forced to save its own
ship, and for several hours neither
the four men and woman on the
barge nor the coast guards in their
inadequate craft felt they would re-

American Actresses

PARIS, April 30 GP)-"American ac-
tresses can live honestly and their
path of fame isn't barred by stars"
says Edmond Sayag, back from visit
to New York where he was amazed
by the superiority of American music
halls and vaudeville.
American chorus girls and stars also
are young, Sayag learned with sur
prise AS they are paid enough to live
and have chance to succeed, he dis
covered, they develop their talent
quickly, "and make good marriages."
When they retire, other young girls
replace them.
In France, says Sayag, who is the
director of the .'Ambassadeurs" music
hall in the Champs Elysees, things are
different. How would you have a
girl who gets SIS a month, live with
out looking elsewhere for what she
needs?" he asks.
In mechanical equipment, drill, seen
cry and cmofort, the Partisan declares,
American leaves France marking time
while it goes ahead with giant steps"
He commented on the actors dressing
rooms, each with a bathroom, while
in France most of them do not have
even running water"
