Elastic for the Hair.

Girls have Invented quite a clever scheme this summer to keep their locks in place in or out of the house by using the tiniest kind of hat elastic around the hair. It matches their locks and does not show. It makes a tiny ridge barely visible, where it tightens the hair, but the locks can easily be pulled up above it with a hairpin. It keeps the hair from blowing down on the neck and over the face and gives a trim, trig look over the forehead and ears., It is not as substantial as a net, but it is much less trouble to put on and serves very well for those who cannot wear the other. The elastic is tied around the hair in a tiny knot without ends.
