A few supremely clever women In
every age have def1ed fashion ana pre-
vailing custom in hairdressing enough
to arrange their hair to suit their tenn
permanent and type. Nowadays every
woman with the aid of her hairdresser
providing he is a really good one
may do the same.
The only restrictions that are set to
this achievement are these: That the
natural contours of the head shall not
seem to be disguised and that for the
daytime ceiffure at least the chignen
shall net be SO large Is to prevent the
hat from lying nat against the mead
at the back.
A beautiful American woman whose
hair advancement has been spoken Of
as especially suitable and at the same
time decidedly smart Is the famous
opera singer Pcnsells. She has raven
black hair Of the glossy, silky sert, long
enough to be drawn smoothly back from
her forehead and ceiled under her LETT
ear, leaving the desirable smooth con-
tour ct the back of the head.
Another young woman whose growing
hair Is just long enough to be crossed
over at the back and fastened with two
nat, large pins behind each ear. has
had shert, rather full hang at the
front behind which the hair Is drawn
straight back, in Q manner reminiscent
Of the mode of 1880.
Bangs could net be said to be par
ticularly characteristic of the present
mode of hair dressing, but for certain
types of faces there Is no more becom-
ing arrangement than this. The impor-
tant thing to remember In connection
with bangs a. with any other details
of hair dressing at present is that they
should be very trim and definite
without any suggestion Of business.

BY MARY MARSHALL.

T%HE FIRST really warm spell" of
weather sent hundreds of wom-
en- everywhere hurrying to the
barber shops and hair dresserS
to have the hair that they had
been so patiently growing for the past
few months ruthlesSly cut off again.
Many of these women have no in
tention of permanently going back to
the bob. Simply they have decided
to have short hair for the Summer, as
a matter of comfort and convenience.
Now that there are so many interesting
ways to arrange growing hair they are
quite willing to face the question OF
letting their hair grow again next Au.
tunn in case fashion definitely turns
her face away from short hair.
Really there could be no more sensi-
BILE arrangement than this-to clip our
hair in the Spring as we would that
of a French poodle dog, and then to
let it grow again for protection during
the freedom from the annoyance OF
long hair so desirable for SWIMMING
surf bathing and Summer sports and
the longer hair that is convenient to
have in arranging the more formal sort
of evening couture.
Ultimately, of course, the question OF
long hair or short rests with the
milliners, They have made only the
most half-hearted sort of attempts to
launch hat fashions that are adapted
to the woman with more than . wtspy
sort of knot at the back of her head.
Not many years ago when bobbed
hair was still something of a novelty
school principals were known to re-
prove their teachers for appearing Ia
the classroom with bobbed heads.
Nurses in hospitals were distinctly tela
By their superiors that bebbed hair
would not be tolerated among the
nurses In training and an organization
of woman doctors adopted resolution
against bobbed hair-or in some way
or other expressed its feeling that
the new fashion was unworthy the dig
nifty of it's profession.
So greatly has the whole situation
changed since then that nurses are now
actually advised to wear their hair short
as q sanitary measure, and among busy
women generally the shert-haired ceif-
fure Is looked upon as most professional.
Short-haired, n1iddle-aged women hesi-
tate to let their hair grow lest some enc
might accuse them of trying to follow
flapper fashions.
A year or six months ago the predic-
ton might have been made that young
er women generally were going back to
long hair, and that they would event.

haired era. With many of these young
women. however, letting the hair grow

long hair was quite another thing. And

It is perfectly possible to get green

And the amusing thing about 1t Is
that, while some Americans feel that
they ought net to eat it of the cob,
visiting Europeans are eager to try 1t
that way.
After all, there really Is no way that
gTesn corn tastes SO good as on the

Whether ycu have your hats made
to order, buy them ready made, or make
them yourself, interpreting prevailing
modes in Q way that suits your type
and your purse-the fact remains that
behind the hat stands the name of
some one or another of the great
French milliners, to whose inventive
genius and fashion prestige might be
traced the line of the hat, the trick of
trimming or a method of manipulation
of the fabric. Only the hedge-podge
hat that looks like nothing at all and
that shows no trace of conformity to
prevailing fashions can be entirely
without this debt to the French mil
liner.
