Short Hair
Is Fashion
Forecast
BY DONNA GRACE

WE HAVE been warning you
that you will soon wear short
hair IL the hairdressers have
their way. They always want
us TO cut our hair as IL makes
a change in fashion and requires
a different styling.
Short hair. they tell us. needs
much less attention than does
the long bob. II can be combed
in a jiffy and arranged by any
one without the aid Of the
stylist.
The Cause
One OF the reasons advanced
for this trend 10 short hair
styles Is 10 harmonic the
couture and new service uni
forms. While many women
may like the idea OF wearing
this nifty military or service
attire, the majority who con-
tinue TO wear the usual feminine
garb may prefer 10 retain their
natural hair length. This will be
a matter of individual taste.
1t is now impossible TO pre-
dict just how far this style fad
may reach. There have been
times in the past when the close
shingle was in vogue but even
the most ardent short hair adj
vocates are not going TO lead US
into the shaved neck horror. For
reasonable profit in their work,
stylists will spare US enough OF
our tresses TO make hairdressing
d necessity.
Feather Edged
They will leave the front
quite long. This will be done in
fanciful designs about the tenn
pies and above the forehead,
but the back will have thor
ough thinning with a graceful
feather edged finish at the
neckline.
There is really nothing new
about this short hair forecast.
You know we have il every year
and thousands love the freedom
and comfort IL affords during
hot weather. When the out
doors season is over they
again 90 back 10 their regular
coidures.
So much for short hair and at
the same time comes the Holly
wood announcement that bobs
Will be longer than ever. These
glamour artists feel that when
men are engaged in the serious
business Of military training il
is woman's duty 10 look lovely
and feminine.
No studio hair stylist can
endure short hair. so IL is safe
10 assume the beauties Of the
golden West will not be inter-
ested in the short hair edict.
Simple 10 Dress
Inc lOIk DOD u NOT ulllIGull
10 dress either. The front is done
high in either curls or bangs.
The sides at the temples, fiat
and smooth. with the back in
either braids. curls or a CHG
non. This style is flattering 10
nearly every one and suitable
for either evening or casual
daytime wear.
We believe il you have been
wearing long hair il would be
wise 10 hesitate a while before
having il cut then, when and if
you do cut II. have just a bit Of
shaping without taking too
much from the length. This
will give you time 10 decide.
You can't replace a long bob
in a years time and you can
have more cut of IL you are

Be Courteous
When You
Travel
BY MRS. C. BEECKMAN

PASSENGERS ON trains,
buses or other public convey
ances are of two kinds: those
who obviously take the point of
view that they will not show any
courtesy TO strangers; and those
who take their gracious manners
along with them.
One person is the type who
blitZkriegs his way into a train
or bus and into a seat. He or
she is supremely oblivious to the
comfort of every one else.
They brush by people with
never a by-your-leave. They give
the ugly impression that they
never heard of the words
please" or Thank you" or Il
beg your pardon"
Or are you the gracious and
attractive kind OF person who
wants to make life fair and CON-
Portable for other people? Is IL
your natural and spontaneous
a nd pleasant habit to say
please" and Thank you" and
"Do you mind?" and Il beg
your pardon"
We all have 10 decide whether
we will live our lives with a
gracious spirit, considerable of
others. or with a grumpy point
Of view. diseourteous and unkind
10 other people, When you ira
vel. you inevitably show your
design for living.

Decoration
Use Contrast
Between Rug
And Spread
BY WILLIAM X. CLARKE

BASED UPON the amount of
space occupied in the bedroom,
the bed is the largest and most
important piece of furniture in
the scheme.
It's covering should be mat
ter of prime Importance, but
too often is dismissed with a
casual throw of no decorative
value, or overtreated with a
dark, heavy spread which
weights down the whole room.
The first rule to remember
about bedspreads is that, second
only to walls and floors, they
are the largest single area of
color in your entire scheme.
1t is obvious, therefore, that
considerable thought should go
into their selection.
Plain Spread
II your bedroom is papered
with an outstanding pattern. the
spread should be plain. without
a figure which might clash with
that of the paper. The same is
true where patterned draperies
are used.
The contrast Of plain bed
spread with figured walls or
draperies will mean a balance
which will enhance both the
spread itself and the walls or
hangings.
With rare exceptions. a safe
rule is TO select a spread in
contrasting color to the floor
covering. Unless you do so, the
two large color areas matching
will be monotonous and flat.
This contrast may be achieved
by using an off-white spread.
This is especially true in the
case of candlewick or tufted
bedspreads. which are so ideally
suited to Early American, Co.
lonial and Federal schemes.
Tailored Style
The right choice in a spread
may also give gender TO the
room. For example, in the case
of a mans room, a textured,
plainly tailored throw style
spread will be long step in
the correct decorative direction.
Similarly. a lace spread with
full shirred flounce TO the floor
is distinctly feminine, and
crisp organdie spread with eye
let embroidery perfect for the
young miss.
When next you 60 TO choose
a bedspread, remember first Il
keep it plain If your walls or
draperies are patterned, and tc
contrast its color with the car.
pet. Contrast ii, but keep it oil
the same relative intensity as
the dominant tone of the room
That is, if you are working
with pastel colors. do not intro
duce a deep, heavy color tone in
the spread but keep it also
pastel.

Blend With Drsperies

And above all, do not match il
exactly to your drapery. That
is as outmoded an idea as three
piece living room suites.
Correlate it, blend il har-
moniously, of course. with the
draperies, but if you would have
interest and individuality in your
bedroom, do not start wrong by
having as important a unit Of
the scheme as the bedspread no
more than an echo and repeti-
ton Of the draperies.

 MAY OPEN BIDS
$l,OOO,OOO Tax Anticipa. ton Loan to Help Carry
 on Until Next May

Bids on the city's Si,000000 tax anticipation loan will be opened by the board Of finance Rt c meeting tomorrow afternoon. The money will be used to carry on municipal op. eratlons until the first installment of taxes for i042 falls due In May.
 Controller Thomas M, Conlon be- lieVes that the city may have to pay Q slightly higher interest rate than was the case last year when the sum of Si,iB0,000 was borrowed. Last years rates was approximately one. fifth of one per cent.
 As the city's financial situation grows more stable the need for temporary loans Of this typo is de- creasing, Controller Conlon hopes that, within q year or two, no tax anticipation loans will have to be made.
 Loans in anticipation of taxes are now required because Of wide diver. gence in dates between the time money is needed and money becomes available. The city must finance It's operations somehow from Jan. 1 to May l, but tax incomes does not begin coming in until May 1.

 ROBINSON CASE
Supreme Court Directs New Trial in Litigation
 Over Will

The state supreme court of errors today found error and ordered Te- trial in an appeal filed by LoTenz Buck of this city, against Stephen W. Robinson, executor of the will of Anna Buck Robinson.
