WORRY ABOUT TRESSES
By the Associated Press.

LONDON. February 5. - King
Georges reported aversion to shingled
and bobbed hair is causing consider
able worry to debuta .1tes who are pre-.
pairing to be presented at court this
year.
Many of them. believing in safety
first, have been getting spare tresses
worked up to wear ss a coiffeur. 1t is
known that the King prefers long hair
to the shingled style, but court Off
Gals think it absurd to believe that he
is likely to keep shinsled or bobbed
haired women from being presented
at court.
Word has been passed that there
will be no change in court regulations
this year from those of last season,
and as long as the "bobbeds" and
"shingleds" can wear the regulation
three freathers in their hair 1t Is
thought they will have nothing to
worry about.
