Younger Set
Still Prefers
Long Bob
BY DONNA GRACE

IT'S NOT so long ago that we
told you all movie stars would
continue TO wear long hobs. In
way you can depend on this con-
tinuing as a permanent Holly
wood style.
Long hair accents youth and
this is reason enough for its
popularity. But now. from Perc
WeStmore. we hear OF short
hair trend II will mean that
many of them will really wear
the shorter haircuts but no
really beautiful long hobs will
be sacrificed. 1t takes too long to
grow them back again.
Smart New York Stylists have.
at last, convinced a number of
women that nothing is quite so
smart as the trim, rather short
length when il comes 10 artistic
hairdressing and il is true that a
really trim line can be better
expressed when there are no
long ends.
Long Bob Preferred
The younger set. with few
exceptions, still likes the long
hobs. They are not interested in
the formal couture, which they
feel is too mature.
We believe one OF the reasons
for the hairdresser's dislike for
the long hobs is the too casual
styling. Some girls have the idea
that this style needs less groom
ing. They think they can comb
il out and with,a fluff here and
there Sook as il they had been
70 the salon. But this can be
done only when regular groom
ing has trained il 10 conform
with the accepted styles. Special
shaping and end perTnanents are
necessary for all smart styling.
Shape Hair
Then with plenty OF brushing
they will be sure 10 have the
kind of halos that are definitely
disturbing 10 the heart of the
adored one in uniform.
Hair TO be appealing must be
sparkling. clean and have just a
suggestion Of floral aroma. A
lemon rinse assures that clean
smell and the perfume may be in
the light spray of brilliantine.
Fastidious girls who take time
TO brush and wrap their hair
every night have little sachet
pads in the net wrapping. This
is the best way to perfume hair.
End CurIs
Curriers' may be used for ends
when the hair is inclined 10 curl
naturally. Some girls depend on
this method. especially when
they like 10 keep the top of the
head smooth.
The hair is dampened slightly
and wrapped smoothly about the
curler. II usually takes a few
hours 10 set the curlS so many
do them before going 10 bed and
leave them on all night.
Wear any length that suits
your type or fancy but keep the
hair well groomed and you will
be in style.

With winter weather still be-
ing felt, strong squadrons of Ger
man fighting planes roared across
the Strait of Dover this week in
what British news agencies be-
lieved was the start of the nazi
luftwaffle's spring air offensive.
This was foreshadowed by Satur-
days patrol Of small scale day
light raids.
Most of the Germans were
turned back, however, by Bril-
fish "Spitfires" and anti-aircraft
guns, Hull was the hardest hit of
any of the British ports this week.
Adolf Hitler confirmed rumors
that he was ready to mobolize
half of Europe for a knockout
of Britain, beginning next
month. He declared that he will
unlease unlimited submarine
warfare.
Attention is still centered on
the Balkans, and the British le-
cation quit Bulgaria as the Ger
man army began it's large scale
occupation of this country.
Just how much interference
Turkey will tolerate on the part
of the Germans has not yet been
decided.
British naval quarters yester-
day promised to meet Hitler's u
Boat "blitz" by means Of new
secret methods for discovering
and tracking down enemy sub
marines.
The Greek army in almost four
months of war has captured TO-
900 Italians and will not cease
fighting until the Italians are out

reply to the speech Sunday by
Premier Mussolini, who represen-
ted Greek losses as heavy and
