About Bobbed Hair SY tho Editor of Woman's Page: Dear Madam I am a young girl of twenty years of age and I nm going to havo my hair cut in the bobbed fashion. The reason I am going to havo my hair cut Is that I do a lot of athletic work, mostly tennis and Bwim mlng. My hair Is not so very long and It binders me very much. I have tried a hair net,' but it was not suc cessful. I decided on having it bobbed, ns bobbed hair would bo very becoming tome, nnd do you think It would be nd'vlsablo to havo my hair bobbed? I live In the country the most of the time, Which 'would bo the most pref erable style of bobbed hair for a girl nf mv ace? Would the bobbed style with straight bangs bo more suitable for a girl like me? MIS8 ATIIliETIU UIUIj. You must dccldo for yourself whether or not you would like to bob your hair. It is hard to fix when it gets to the awkward length, but per haps the pleasure you will get out of itin tho bobbed state will repay for anr annoyanco later. I don't believe I would have bangs cut, however. The prevailing modo is to part it on the side, with tho top piece drawn toward tho bhek. Tho balr comes just about a half tnch or so below tho cars and fluffs out, turning up a little- at the ends. By the way, there have been so many questions about bobbed hair lately it would be interesting to havo tho views of some of our readers on the sub ject. Should or should not girls cut their hair?

It is' a much simpler matter fjir me to tell you for what this plug, or what ever it is, is used than to describe its appearance. You sec, it is nn electrical attachment which should prove very convenient; for instance, if you use nn electric iron, you probably nttach it to the light socket overhead. This means that whenever your Iron becomes too hot you stand on tiptoes to turn off the current. And tho same holds true of any electrical appliance you attach to the light overhead. Reaching up is so inconvenient to say nothing of the separation of one's waist and skirt, This,plug, then, equipped with n but ton, fits .on the wiro wherever you want to place It. Then when you want to turn off tho current temporarily, you merely push tho button within easy reaching distance. The price of this plug Is fifty-five cents. If It be true that as you embroider, you think of the person for whom you are embroidering, nnd sew all sorts of lovely thoughts nnd wishes for her into your work, then surely the most de lightful thought and wishes would go into tho tiny garment you embroider for your small child. That the little dress Itself is unusually dainty nnd appealing would merely make your work doubly enjoyable. The dresses I have discovered then should indeed prove n delight. They are soft little garments of white with delicate sprays of flowers and leaves to bo embroidered in white or pink or blue, if you prefer, and they come in sires from two to four years. The price is but sixty fivo cents.
