HAIR-PIN PROBLEM

HAIRDRESSERS LEARNING TO DO LONG HAIR Tt is evident that certain hairdressers are taking the long hair revival seriously, to the extent of giving demonstrations of how a head of hair should be dressed. Short, hair has reigned supreme for several years, and in that time hundreds of girls who have adopted hairdressing as their vocation in life have learnt nothing of the uses of hairpins allied with art. Their training has of necessity been limited to dealing with cut hair, which involves a deftness in wielding the scissors, wav-

ing, shampooing and “setting.” The last three will always need a special study as long as hair is allowed to grow at all, but with what a difference when hair is long! The hair-pin problem will take a separate and complete training, and to help young hairdressers to learn something of the way in which they should be put in—that is to say, the way hair of nny length below theregulation shingle or bob, should be put up with the artistic finish of a professional, at least one big firm has commenced giving tuition by means of practical demonstration. After that, if there are enough longhaired women to practise on in the meantime, those who grow their hair later should be able to get their locks dressed in any stage of growth, by fairly experienced hands.

ATTRACTIVE PARCELS People are paying much more attention to the way a present is wrapped than they ever did before. There is something personal about the article given, §ven if it is quite useless to the recipient, when it is done up in a dainty parcel or box. Coloured or white tissue paper is obtainable at so many stores that there is no excuse for crushed paper being used, and tied with a length of ribbon, the little parcel has an intriguing look about it before it is opened.
