"BINGLED" HAIR.

Bingling, a cross between bobbing and shingling, is the latest hair-cut for women, says a writer in an exchange. It has coano so suddenly that many women, laced with the humiliation of being out of fashion, are hiding their shingled heads in the sanctity of their boudoirs. They aro ringing up hairdressers, begging to bo bingled, and tho hairdressers can only reply with dignity: ''Madam, wo cannot binglo everybody at once. Seen from tho back, tho "bingle" looks like a shinglo except that the hair is grown a little fuller and cut away sharply in tiho neck. A front view gives tho impression of a bob, tho fluffy side pieces falling softly over each ear. In general effect, it is less masculine and more becoming that the shingle, while tho "dish mop" appearance of tho bob is cunningly eliminated. Tho chief difficulty about tho new fashion is that nobody can be bingled in a day. It has to'bo grown, ami those who aro severely shorn must wait a week or two until tho ear pieces curl softly over tho cheeks. Nevcrthedess, there are many bingled women iu London to-day, though how they have achieved it without notice from their women friends is a mystery.
