The trouble is that these days not enough mothers are loaching their daughters to make wigs.

To meet the requirements of "Joan of Arc," Fredericks styled Miss Bergman's hair into a very short bob. It's unfortunate, he said, that women are copying it.

"They're going to get bored," he warned, "because the minute you cut your hair very short you limit the number of things you can do with it. Miss Bergman would not have hind her hair cut unless the story absolutely demanded it."

A great many women, actresses and otherwise, who fell for the short haircut now are rushing to Fre- dericks. They want some new hair to cover it up.
