I Paris to see for myself.
And I found it was true: weare her hair long.
The New Elegant Woman
She is through with short hair, through with the brushed-back look, through with the little-boy cut. She's back to long hair, back to curls, back to hair brushed for- ward on to the face.
In Paris I went to see ace fashion photographer Rubin, and he said: "All the models I photograph now are growing their hair, pinning it into little buns high at the back, brushing wisps forward on to their cheeks."
Not an inch......Not an inch
I went to see the new star model girl from New York, red-headed, blue-eyed Suzy Parker; and she said: "When I went to have my hair done in Paris they refused to cut an inch. A year ago they would have chopped it all off."
So I went to see. Guillaume, one of the two best hairdressers in Paris, and he said: "All my elegant clients are growing their hair. They wear it fuller ut the sides, long and curled on to the neck at the back, with kiss curis coming on to the checks.
Why the change? Beenuse there's a feeling in the air that women want it that way. And in Paris there are men alert enough to sense that feeling-before women know it themselves.
Will hair grow longer and longer? "I could said predlet fashions for ten years ahead," Quillaume, "if the world were certain of its future. If we were sure of many
years of peace and prosperity, then yes, I would predict more elegance, more femininity-and coils of long hair."
HOW TO SPEND YOUR MONEY
been EXTRAVAGANT spending has scowled on for so long for obvious reasons that it is refreshing to find it defended--for a reason not olivious to everyone.
"All we artists want is a patron," said Oliver Messel. "A. money -no-object spender,

So I wonder why the same caterers don't sell it in their teashops or their corner houses, why you can't get it in the park restaurants, why they haven't heard of it in the milk bars,
