IN T ESSING-ROOM The Fashion of Bobbed Hair Is the Fashion on the Wane ? Its Advantages and Disadvantages A Good Shampoo. MANY of the fair-sex »>he parted with fchmt long tresses when bobbed hair first became fashionable are now somewhat disturbed as to whether the wearing of short hair amongst' women about to recejve its death-blow. Dorothy Cish, for one,is glad that her mother and sisior Lillian would not let her cut hers. The majority of curly headed damsels willi whom I have talked 1 1 1< ■ subject over candidly admit that it will be a sorry day f*»r them when field,; and capricious fashion absolutely compels' them to return to the trials and 1 1 ibultit ions w hich long hair entails. Although hairdressers are doing their very utmost to force it out of fashion entirely by gentle insinuations that bobbed hair is fast disappearing and by " pushing " false hair and transformations, to be worn until the genuine article has reached its normal length, they are only succeeding with a few, who possess bottomless purses, and to whom a few guineas spent on a transformation means nothing. The Advantages and Disadvantages. THE average business girl cannot afford to buy a transformation, nor does the idea of wearing one appeal to her for all her soul revolts against this artificial mode. She has enjoyed the many advantages of bobbed hair so long that she is loath "to lose then, again: There are many things to be said in its favour, l'irsi take bobl>ed hair from a health standpoint. It growtj more luxuriantly, ami it has more gloss and wave. Long hair, on the other hand, requires much more attention, and to look and keep it tidy it needs to be done up two or three times during the day. Tlien. again, the girl who has long Mid thick hair often suffers from very severe headaches caused by its enormous weight. This is one of the penances which disappear when the hair iv cut short. I do not infer that the girl who weals short hair will for ever escape a headache, but she is not. at least, subjected to those w hich ale so eauset 1. Windv davs have lost their terror tn the maiden who submitted to the shearing of herlocksand, moreo\ er, she enjoys to the full that rollicking freedom and lightheadedness coupled with the feeling thut, since bobbing her hair, her whole appearance has changed for the better; for a halo of golden or nut-brown curls tends to add a certain charm which no amount of care in the choice of a coiffure could attain. My strong advice is, to those who have had their hair bobbed, and to whom the wearing of it is a decided improvement, keep it so, for 1 firmly believe that the majority who have discovered it? blessings are unanimous for its becoming a permanent fashion, and it is only by unity amongst, those who are at present wearing it that short hair can have a lasting reign. All the Difference. EVERY girl wishes to make the most of herself in the eyes of her sweetheart, and I have never as yet beard of any member of the opposite sex condemning the girl with bobbed hair. They are exceedingly critical, especially towards any fashion which they think makes a" woman unfeminine, and are quick to use that frequently deserved term, " aping the man." There is a decided difference between a man's closely cropped hair and a girl's winsome curls, sufficiently short to give a graceful pose to the head, so that if your brothers agree that you look simply ripping, you may be sure that any compliment from >ottr lover is sincere, for it is not in the nature of brothers, even when grown to manhood, to be polite to their sisters in matters of persorml appearance; so if your brothers approve, you may take it for granted that the style suits you, and can. with an easy conscience, swell the ranks of those who are determined to make bobbed hair resolve itselt into a permanent fashion. A Good Shampoo. HKR K is a timely hair hinl for those who havo not " bobbed." The frequent use of a fine comb for the hair is fatal to the scalp, and should be condemned, as i( causes the hai»s to fall out. A well knov. u cinema star told rue that she never used a fine comb, but always used a home-made shampoo about once a mouth. She used to cut up half an ounce of some good soap into very small pieces, and add it to a quart of hot water in which had been dissolved one ounce of carbonate of soda anil one ounce of spirits of wine. This was perfumed with her part icular scent. The hair should be rinsed well in clear tepid water and dried with warm towels. Boots Laced or Buttoned. HAVE >ou ever noticed the cinema artistes' boots or shoes ? Of course they always buy the best quality, being the cheapest in the end, but they know the secret of putting them on. Very few people know how to lace their footwear in the right way. The lace is generally pulled hard regardless of the fact that the shape of the boot is being altered, and that they will feel uncomfortable when placed on the ground. The heel should be well down, and (he toes able to move about. Lace the boot tightly over the instep, tightening by degree", so as to keep the foot weH in the boot. Laee them comfortably round the leg, as pressure is very bad for the heel. Proceed in the same way with buttoned hoots, Miss tbe first two and button to the ankle: then come back to the first two buttons, and finish with the top pari" of the boot. This method will enable the boots to keep their shape till thev are worn out. . ■ A Dresser DORIS MAY, the dainty Ince star, wearing a delightful negligee of silk and lace.
