PROUD OF THEIR HAIR.
THE WOMEN OF HOLSTEIN. "NOT ONE BOBBED HEAD.” The North German State of Holstein holds a unique record in that there is not one 'bobbed head to be found among its native women. If the traveller succeeds in discerning a short-haired representative of the gentler sex, he will find that she hails from elsewhere than this former grand duchy. The Holstein women, who are famed for their beauty, pride themselves on their thick blonde or brown tresses. Even the girls of school ago wear long braids and object to cutting off what they arc taught is womanhood’s crowning glory. Far from advertising their ability to clip women’s hair, the barbers ia towns like Kiel or Ploon display beautiful braids and curls in their shop windows as an inducement, to women whose hair is scant to pad their natural crop.
The women are up to the minute in other fashions, such as short skirts and silk stockings, and they subscribe to fashion journals as avidly as do their sisters in the rest of Germany.
