FASHIONS IN HAIR

PARIS WOMEN SEEKING “ BOBS " The revival of long hair as a fashion for women has had its brief day iu Paris. No longer shall one, see the slightly untidy appearance or the roll of tight little curls about the nape of the neck of a woman whose. hair is neither bobbed nor of a reasonable length. Paris hairdressers are being besieged now with clients all asking for a complete “ bob.” “ It is very significant,” said a leading hairdresser, “that women are now coming to us not to ask us about the latest fashion, but definitely to ask us for a haircut. Fashion has become a secondary ■ importance to convenience. “ When the Victorian fashions came in it was thought that long hair was necessary. Well, very few women have the time to devote to th© proper arrangement of long hair. It is too much trouble, especially as the latest little hats, which reveal so much hair, show up any untidiness about the head. “ Fashion must combine both the elegant and the practical. Long hair is not practical in these busy days, so it must go. “ Women are revolting against the decrees of the so-called Paris fashion dictators. The revolt, I am sure, will spread.”
