IS THE SHINGLE DYING?
Is the shingle dying out? So many assertions and denials nave Doen made recently that the question was put to women passengers on the Otranto by a Melbourne woman reporter. They answered that its popularity was as high as ever on the other side of the world, and that it would continue for another 10 years at least. Even Miss Bonnie Goldhill, one of the many pretty Australian girls returning on the Orient mail steamer, who has her hair Eton-cropped, admitted that the shingle was still triumphant in spite of the many campaigns against it and the efforts to reintroduce iong hair. ‘'The shingle,” Miss Goldhill said, "is, if possible, gaining in popularity overseas. Tho Eton crop, its greatest competitor, will not displace it. The Eton crop will not die out, but it is so severe that it is not suitable to every girl. I know plenty who would like to have their hair cut, but they know quite well it would not suit them. That is where tho shingle succeeds. It suits practically everybody. Those whom the Eton crop suits will continue to have their hair cut in that fashion.
