BOBBED HAIR.
THE FOLLY OF DENOUNCING IT.
The agitation against bobbed hair", is Decoming world-wide, and must be caus- ing great indiquation in the ranks of modern girlhood, writes John Blunt in the Daily Mail.
Ten nurses, it appears, have been sus- pended from Grant Hospital, Columbus, U.S.A., until their hair grows again, ind 300 women hairdressers in Tokyo, Japan, are conferring at a shrine and invoking the aid of the gods to turn women from the dreadful practice of "bobbing.
I feel that I can understand the motive of the Japanese hairdressers, for once a woman's hair is bobbed, what need has she of constant costly édiffures! But I an at loss to account for the action of the superintendent of Lirant Hospital. unless, indeed, it be that the bobbing) so enhanced the looks of the nurses that the temperature of the patients went up, alarmingly.
But dare say, after all, that what really upsets some people, against bobbed. Inir is that conservative streak in many of us which detests innovation! Women have grown, their hair long for so hinny generations that the world in, general has come to regard long hair as their fitting adornment and to see in any deviation from the rule a sort of brazen boldness which must be stamped out.
THE LONG-HAIRED YOUTH.
I can understand, I believe, what wumen feel about women in this respect for most men are indulgent so long as st suits the woman-because when I sed a long-haired youch I have an almost irresistable inclination to give him a ktek. I know that long hair may be an expressin of his sensitive soul or of his revolt against sccial injustice or of his tendency to write poems, but I feel brut ally uninterested in anything about him save that he, possesses long hair which ought to be cut short.
My conservative streak demands that men should cut their hair short, amel women's uservative streak · demands that women should grow their hair long- There does not seem to be very much justice about it: if a girl looks pretty with bobbed hair 1 prefer her so.

The only thing that really alters the Fashion of the nment is the fashion of the next moment. To fulminate against böbbed hair will delight its devotees, who are usually young women of spirit. More. uyer, I don't want to fulminate against Tacs. 20 it besurse in my tumble opinion, it anita sömme girls admirably. Bus that, again." won't wake it stay a day ledger than the fashion demands.
ON THE WANE,
Already indeed, it seems to be on the wane, and, as insluions of this type rün "through the world like wild fire, I don't think they need so strict in Columbus or so distressed in Tokyo. Give things a little time and we shall see long hair
again.
This sounds philosophie, but I'm asha med to say that I don't want to give the long-haired youths any time at all. I want to hurry them all off to a barber That,
presume, is the prejudice of man against man. and so I fear that my ad vice to women to keep calm will be of
little avail..
And yet I known it is wise because the one sure way of keeping a craze alive is to denunce it. Then you merely arouse stubborn opposition, and every thing is thrown off its balance and natural laws take longer to work. Ignore what you don't like about the fashions: he- ware how you draw indignant attention to them. is not that a sound piece of
wisdom:
