Ending its five-day convention
last night, the National Hair
Dressers and CoSmetologists AsSo-
citation elected Emile Beauvais. Of
Emile, Inc, 1921 Connecticut
Ave-, this city, president. He
was not a candidate for the place,
but was drafted by the delegates.
Mr.. Beauvais succeeds c. w.
Godefroy, of st. Louis, who has
been president for the past nine
years.
The newly elected Officers were
to meet at the Mayflower this
afternoon and designate Godefroy
as managing director. The 1881
convention of the association Will
be held in Milwaukee.
Richard Klein, of Detroit, win
ner of the award setting the style
for "the next years bob," left
for home today in jubilant spirit.
He has been hairdresSing for
more than 20 years and won over
many competitors. The model
used by Klein in his successful
demonstration Of the new bob
was Miss Bertha Boucher, Of the
500 block G st. s. E., this city.
Klein and Miss Boucher received
congratulations throughout yes
terday.
Miss Boucher is an attractive
blonde, as were most of the
models used. but convention
judges said the style Of the bob
and not the color Of the hair,
was considered in the award to
Klein. The new bob does away
with the "shingle" cut and is a
compromise between long hair and
the "n1annish; bob" It is fluffy
and comfortable with just enough
hair left to tie at the back and
to cover the ears.
