LONG HAIR OR SHORT ? OPINION DIVIDED. (XXXITX9 PRESS ASSOCIATION—BT ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH—COPTRIQHT.) LONDON, September 2. Women apparently are almost equally divided regarding the retaining of shingles or letting their hair grow. Continental experts attending London's Hairdressing Exhibition at Westminster hope that the Exhibition will solve the problem of dressing growing hair to conceal its half-way awkwardness. A Viennese coiffeur declared emphatically: It will be long in future. My countrywomen will be tired of short hair and will be taking up the oldfashioned bun. A Londoner insisted that a medium shingle of sensible length would hold sway for a long time yet. He admitted that the Eton crop and short shingle were definitely out of favour.— Australian Press Association.
