HERE is an excellent point in favour of long bobs for school- girls. Long bobs are youthful and pretty, romantic and adaptable. Besides, they lead girls who have them to take more pride in their hair-to brush harder and to be more fussy about keeping it clean. You simply can't have a long bob and be proud of it if it is oily and unkempt..

Drapes, as now conceived, ara almost entirely involved with knots and bowa. Hips especially are tied up with drapes. Balenciaga thinks nothing of introducing bows to the inappileation, pairs, and such bows can be either at front or at back; Allx and Schia- parelli regulate the taut drape of the hip in this fashion. Lelong's bodices can be identified this season with some of the most individual drapery, these niso seeming to derive from the Iden of tossing in knots' wherever the draperies are crossed as they pas over the body.

tion of your natural wave and shape the hair accordingly. Many shops specialise in this kind of hair-cut.
To keep your hair immaculately clean, choose your favourite kind of shampoo and wash your hair every two weeks or so, depending on is condition to start with. Some girls like the soapless shampoos that can be used either in soft or hard water; others prefer a good soap shampoo. Personally, I prefer the Intter for regular use; and there is an excellent non-drying, olive-castle shampoo of this type that is easy to use and leaves your hair clean and spark- log.
Keep Your, Hair Clea Whether you shampoo every week or every month, you must keep your hair clean. Brushing does a lot in the cause of cleanliness, but it can-: not remove all perspiration odour, cigarette smoke and of that tend to accumulate between shampoos. There is a perfectly grand hair and sealp freshcher that will help you do that. It's a fragrant lotion, applied like hair tonic along one-inch partings.
Use cotton pledglets för rubbing the cleanser along the partings, dis- carding the collon as fast as it be- comes solled and taking a fresh plece frequently. When the entire head has been treated with the freshener, massage lærlskiy, wipe off as much molsture as you can with a clean towel, then brush the hair vigorous- ly. Your hair will look, směli and feet clean.
As a fnu! step, apply creamy wave-cot, brushing it well through the hair, so it is distributed, evenly and sparingly. Now push your waves into place and set your curls by I brushing over your finger.
