on i i r-r-n I Those Men; Dye Gtiap Sunii? Crfce men lair roo! NOVEMBER 3, 1957 Part 7 WVX ff nrn tt ineir LIJ Society Art Theater Music 'A By Eleanor Page FEW weeks ago women who dye their hair discussed in this space, the pros and 77 cons of bleaching with everyone in favor, it seemed! They wound up their observations with the suggestion that we also talk about men who dye their hair. Well, it's: not vanity alone that persuades. a man to tint his hair. He'll do it to obtain a job, because he's going with younger girls," or because he has a wife with young ideas. These are the mafn reasons that bring customers to a.

men's hair studio operated by Tom Bayard, he says. Permanent waving and hair trimming arid styling, in addition to tinting, are mainstays of Mr. Bayard's business. However, Mr. Bayard says, he doesn't get much word of mouth advertising.

Men who dye are close-mouthed. Bert Hicks, actor, prepares for hair tinting to remove the gray that shows plentifully in several places in his hair. First, Mr. Bayard removes the gray from the front and top of Mr. Hicks' locks, leaving "man of distinction" appearance.

Final step is to darken gray at temples of Mr. Hicks, brother-in-law of movie actor Mario Lanza, giving more youthful look. ..1 What a man has to go thru to get his hair to look right! Bruce Clark, Naperville business man, wears a crown of curlers when he gets permanent from professional hair stylist. 1 They're not limited to any one profession or trade, this men's salon operator added. Truck drivers as well as business men, male models, actors, entertainers, and many teen-agers come tor his establishment at 64 W.

Randolph. There's a special technique to giving a man a permanent, Mr. Bayard said. It must avoid curly ends but have a wide, loose wave with enough body to be manageable women will go for that, Men don't like loud shades in tinting, continued Mr. Bayard.

They use it more to cover up gray hair. Or, if a man is 90 per cent gray, he'll leave the sides gray and touch up the rest. It's difficult to tell whether a man dyes his hair, and if he does, he has to keep it up carefully," he said. Dyed hair can't be worn too short or the tint job would show up in a week. Men whose hair is thinning find that tinting it a couple of shades darker makes it look thicker.

That's because the light, fuzzy hair on the scalp takes the dye and looks bulkier. Mr. Bayard gets lots of what he calls frantic cases." They're usually kids who come in a day or two after they've tried bleaching at home, and want to geU)ack to nature. Teen-agers favor the Tony Curtis type of ringlets on the forehead apparently they don't want to look like egg-heads! This pomade makes your hair look young again, like it did before it turned old and gray," an advertisement aimed at man's vanity. "A bald head plus wispy white hairs over the ears add years to any man's appearance, and especially to mine," said a top hair tinte'r for women.

He uses a sulphur compound to bring back the natural reddish blonde coloring of his few hairs. It is so natural that one of his customers of 20 years wouldn't believe his hair is artificially colored. I look 65 if I don't keep my hair darker," he continued. And it's simple to do at home. I just rub the compound in my hair every day for the first week, then increase the intervals between applications to once a week." Among well known Chicagoans who dye their hair is a bank vice president who stains his mustache to match, and an industrialist of advancing years who combs his few remaining hairs across the top of his bald pate.

A Chicago belle tells of ah Atlantic crossing on which a fellow passenger who tinted his locks found that the sun and sea air turned his hair green. After that he did. his romancing indoors," she said. "The time to find out how you look with your hair dark again is when you're out of town," said a graying bachelor. I'm going on a Mediterranean cruise; perhaps that will be 'the time for me to try that expensive stuff my wife bought for me which is supposed to turn my hair back to its natural color," a benedict answered liim.

On the other hand, a long time dark haired bachelor became white headed in near record time soon after his marriage a few years ago. With his hair white he looked more nearly of an age with his bride, their friends figured. And sometimes a felloio goes bald for one reason or another. You can read about one tcho did so by turning to Kathryn Lorings "Have You on page 3. A The ordeal over, Mr.

Clark's hair lies in neat curls, except for the casual one that intentionally is allowed to fall over his forehead. Another exponent of this sort of hair style is movie actor Tony Curtis, who finds errant locks make him popular with teens.

iryi INSTALMENT VIII By Agatha Christie By Agatha Christie Ine.l AS LUCY went out of the room carrying the coffee tray, she heard the old man say, Slick young woman, that, always got all the answers. Cooks well, tho--and she's handsome kind of girl." Lucy Eyelesbarrow took a light iron out of the set of golf clubs she had had the forethought to bring with her, and strolled out into the park. She began playing a series of shots. After five minutes or so, a ball, apparently sliced, pitched onto the side of the railway embankment. Lucy went up and began to hunt about for it.

Now and then she played shots from the embankment down into the grass. During the afternoon she searched about a third of the embankment. Nothing. She played her ball back toward the house. Then, on the next day, she came upon something.

A thorny bush growing about half way up the bank had been snapped off. Bits of it lay scattered about. Lucy examined the tree itself. Impaled on one of the thorns was a torn scrap VMWSW-' 1 sw1 f- tt HIV tlli.IH'-.. Wl i.

Miss Marple was sitting beside the fire busily crocheting. Lucy sat down in the chair facing Miss Marple. Well," she said, it looks as tho you were right." She produced her finds and gave the details of their A faint flush of achievement came into Miss Marple's cheeksr "Perhaps one ought not to feel so," she said, "but it is rather gratifying to form a theory and get proof that it is correct! She fingered the small tuft of fur. Elspeth said the woman was wearing a light colored fur coat.

Quite right. The police will want to check exactly." "You are going to the police with these things? "Well not quite yet. Miss Marple considered. "It would be better, I think, to find the body first.

The half she had snipped off she put in an envelope which she had in her pocket. She came down the steep slope searching for anything else. She thought she could distinguish a kind of track that someone had made walking thru the long grass. But it was very faint. It must have been made some time ago and it was too sketchy for her to be sure it was not merely imagination on her part.

She began to hunt carefully in. the grass at the foot of embankment just below the broken thornbush. Presently she found a powder compact, a small cheap enameled affair. She wrapped it in her handkerchief and put it in her pocket. She did not find anything more.

On the following afternoon, she went to see her invalid aunt. The door was opened by a tall, grim looking woman, dressed in black. She eyed Lucy in suspicious appraisal as she showed her in to Miss Marple. Miss Marjjl was occupying the back sitting room. It was Twins Deborah (left).
