The Washington times., 1937-12-24
By DONNA GRACE

YOUR professional talk today will be
= more about cutting and shaping the
coiffure. We have told you Of the work
with the scissors, and while all Of the
best stylists may be expert with this
method, many Of them feel they can
work more accurately with the razor for
over the head, and the scissors for the
ends.
Those who learn to use the razor ex-
pertly, feel they can follow the contour
of the head to perfection with the keen
razor strokes. This method, however,
offers temptation to thin the ends too
much, and for this reason, we advise the
use Of the razor for the top and crown,
and also over the back, but the ends
should be done with the scissors. Always
try to have the hair the same length all
around.
Some stylists prefer to wet the hair
before cutting, as they like to see the
exact shape Of the head and it will show
the outline more accurately when the
wet hair shapes itself 70 the scalp. This

comfort as she applied bandages
to the woman's blackened eyes
and bruised face. When sent
for this time, the case-worker
naturally supposed John had
been at his cowardly homework
and beaten her again, Quite the
contrary. The woman began to
wall that she felt John no longer
loved her-"'cause he hadn't
beaten her for 10 days."
It is Of such women that the
old proverb "A woman, q dog
and = walnut tree, the more
you beat 'em, the better they
be" was written centuries ago.
And it's amazing to relate-in
spite Of bath-tubs, telephones,
automobiles, airplanes and the
right to vote-we still have that
type.
THEY'RE SUBNORMAL
Are they normal? Certainly
not. There is no reason that,
in a country which boasts
Legal Aid Societies and Domes-
tic Relations Courts in every
city, any woman should put up
with a brute who kicks her
around, as he wouldn't dare to
kick a sizable dog.
It's hard to imagine the
charm Of a wife-beater, but ap-
parently they have it and in
good measure, judging by the
number of women who write
me that their husbands beat
them and still they love them
dearly.
If the welfare Of children is
to be considered. I can under.
stand a woman putting up with
a man Of the gorilla type. But
when there are no children, and
