BY ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer

An oval or heart-shaped face begs
for bang, so the hair-stylists say.
And so believes Broadway,s nellie
Fisher, "On the Town" dancer whose
elfin charm rivets as many eyes as
her twinkling feet.
That's why she gathered a fan
shaped section of hair from the
crown. and trimmed it just long
enough to be curved gently under.
"A bang is also good to mask a
high forehead, like mine" says nellie.
"and to make cleaner-looking hair
line"
AS for upkeep of the hair-do
which goes with a bang, nellie says
it's the easiest of all to swing. All
she has to do is to wash it often
such simplicity demands the most
in cleanliness-and roll up the ends
which her hair is drying.

Shoulder Straps
Shouldn't Show
BY NEA Service

It's legitimate for one set CT lin
gerien straps to show through a
transparent blouSe or lacy dress top.
but if there are more that fall apart
and make a peep-show, they should
be lined up with lingerie loops sewed
into the shoulders CT every peek-a-
boo top garment that you wear
The preferred choice of finicky
gals we're not saying this is
necessary but we know the effect is
nice-iS to use Shell-pink straps,
which look more like flesh than
lingerie, beneath this seasons sheer
tops.
One girl I know who thinks that
ftraps should never be obvious un-

ribbons on slips and bras with flesh
