Discipline for UNRULY CURLS

PRESENT-DAY hair styles--all curls and rolls--

are attractive enough. Trouble is to keep them going. The better they look when you leave the hairdresser the more they seem to go to pricces in a cumple of days.

There is a knack about keeping curia trim, uratip set. First you must be prepared to spend at least ten minutes every night firing them when you go to bed, however late it is and tired you are. Brush your hair firmly across your head, not straight down,

Then comb out each curl with a fine comb, taking each curl as small as you have the palioner for. Be careful to fix the curls the way you want them to sit. Pin them flat on your head--twa pins put crossways to each curl,

HE fact that there is

a shortage of short- hand-typists in Lon- don will come as a surprise to many overseas business girls. The rate of wages as quoted by some employment agencies-23 a week for a. junior shorthand - typist twenty years of age is also unexpected.

re-

One employment agency ports that it has no junior train- ed shorthand-typists between the

of seventeen and twenty-one on its books, and has

ages

a long list of vacancies awaiting such girls.

Two reasons are put up for this shortage. First, there are few girls In London between these ages, as they are the children born at the end of the war, when the birth rate was extremely low, especially in girls. Second, fewer girls want to typists; they prefer other more in- dividual and artistic jobs.
