THE LONG-HAIRED YOUTH, I can understand, I believe, what women feel about women in this respect for most men are indulg: ent so long as it suits the woman because when I see a long-haired youth I have an almost irresistible inclination to give him a kick. I know that long hair may be an expression of his sensitive soul or of bis revolt against social injustice or of his tendency to write puems, but I feel brutally 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, and women's conservative streak demands that women should grow their hair long. There does by not seem to be very much justice to its own bewilderment. about it: if a girl looks pretty Very learned and clever, mon with bobbed hair I prefer her so, are ofien wrong-headed when and, in the same way, I believe that they are faced with the ordinary many longhaired youths are con-questions of life, and jump to con- sidered darlings by romantic clusions on data which, in their own subject, they would regard as ridiculously inadequate.

The only thing that really alters the fashion of the moment is the | fashion of the next moment. To fulminate against bobbed hair will delight its devotees, who are usually young women of spirit. More over, I don't want to fulminate against it because, in my humble opinion, it suits some girls admir ably. But that, again, won't make it stay a day longer than the fashion demands.

ON THE WANE. Already indeed, it seems to be on the wane, and, as fashions of this type run through the world like wildfire, I don't think they need be so strict in Columbus or so distressed in Tokio. Give things a little time and we shall see long hair again.
