Locks is Sensible Thing for Business Girl Some people'have begun taking bobbed half seriously. A few of them, apparently believing that the absence of long tresses outside the head leaves the Impression that something Is lacking within, have Informed the world that bobbed hair and business efficiency didn't mix. Several railroad offices have taken the same position as the Chicago, department atore, which notified the feminine employes that they must either let their hair grow out or be let out themselves, and all manner of people are carrying the controversy to that good old democratic form the' free for all column In the newspapers. TTHat the Editors Bear. And1 here are some of.

the things' they wrote the editors: "Bobbed haired girls' may' not vapia and silly, we don't say they are, but you can't get around 'the fact that they look that way. And, naturally, a girl that appears frivolous Is not wanted in business, even though she may actually be serjous "Girls have a right to wear their hair anyway they fit, so as It appears neat and nd only a vapid and silly person wotld think for one minute that because the hirsute adornments were short snappy, the owner was "Uobbe hair is Just one of those foolish fads that that crazy crew down In Greenwieh Village started. The women around the country really ougnt to know better than to Imitate them, but you know how young girls are tney like to take up new things, and you can't tell them anything. Maybe the offices that are putting a ban on bobberl hair will teach them a lessongoodness only knows, they need it." "Bobhed hair Is not a foolish fad. It Is the most sensible way for husiness girls to wear it.

They don't keep looking at the mirror all the time, and it gives them a chance to type a letter all the way from the 'replying to your favor' to the 'we beg to remain without having to fidget around trying to keep strands from tickling the ears or blowing in the eyes." Difference of Opinion. "I don't know what this younger generation Is thinking about. No girl wltn any claim to being serious minded would consider for a minute that bobbing her hair improved her appearance. I always say that if the Lord had intended for women to have short hair He would have made them that way. It's Just one of those fads, though, and there i no use worrying about it the girls will soon get over it and come back to tiiclr senses." "Certainly the girls of our day dress more sensibly than their mothers did, and bobbed hair Is one of the most sensible parts of their appearance.

It is cooler and more comfortable, and you don't have to stop work every few minutes to do It up. It requires only a few minutes' attention each day and always looks fresh and neat, and this gives a girl more time for serious reading and things. that are always crltclzing everything new get on my nerves. If some of these mcn had ever been cursed with long hair, they would think twice before trying to tell the young girls how to dress." And so it goes. In New York the anti bobs have confined their campaign against abbreviated colftures to writing their opinions and talking about them.

A few personnel directors of large con cerns have said, with the precaution of requesting that their names not be used, that they were seriously considering regulations against bobbed haired types. But that is as far as the matter has gone. Some of the masculine employers gave up hope of regulating it, when iUABif. K. ED GAB Secretary i the center.
