The Neatness of the Bobby Coiffure

There is a certain pretty primness about the Bobby coiffure, besides its suggestive of youthfulness, to account for its ever-growing success. This particular style is developed in several ways but all of them are, first of all, neat. In them the hair seems to be carefully arranged and put in place—to stay in place. One cannot imagine it blown about. It is. in fact, pinned down with many small pins and further confined with a hair band of some sort This manner of dressing it helps the coiffure to fulfill what is required of it. Of course this quality of neatness carries with it the impression of refinement.

In this style the hair at the sides is either cut short or dressed in such a way as to appear “bobbed.” It is said the hair is benefited by being cropped, if it is thin, so that those w;hoso locks are scanty may sacrifice some of them to the style without regret. But where the hair Is abundant this ia. £ot to be considered. The cleverness*of the hairdresser must be relied upon to dispose of the extra Jeagth by curling under the ends, or bv combing them out of the way and substituting some acquired short hair for them. This is one of the styles in which long hair is more difficult to handle, than short hair. And it invites the use of extra pieces because they need only to be very light and are easily adjusted. In the picture given here the coiffure is shown with the hair waved and part-

ed at one side. The ends are turned under and pinned up to make the bobbed effect. A band of velvet ribbon holds the hair about the face in place. If short enough the hair may be turned under across the back or arranged in a series of puffs. Longer hair is coiled or braided and pinned low, against the crown. JULIA BOTTOM LEY.
