Hair Cut Short
On the subject Of cutting. Miss
de Gez. who has been responsible
for Alice Marbles chic hair-dos for
years, has some very positive ideas.
The hair length. she insists, Is as
important as the length of the skirt
and varies with each individual &C
cording to the shape Of the head
and the nature Of the hair itself.
When Alice recently started to
play professional tennis matches,
sing at night clubs and make per-
sonal appearances on the stage. a
real problem confronted the hair
stylist. The question was how to
make Alice look attractive on the
court, where short hair Is essential
but glamorouS enough for her other
public appearances at the same
time.
She solved It by cutting Alice's
hair three inches long all over the
head, keeping the neck clear and
free 30 she Is not hampered in her
play. This length she finds not only
versatile to work with and fashion,
able. but functional as well. The
shaping Of her hair outlines the
