And for this reason it continues to exist in spite of ihe numerous and persistent propne sies that it would be nothing more than a passing fancy. The very short mannish bob, how ever, is a thing of the past. Closely clipped hair at the back of the neck is no longer smart. With the more feminine cloths of today it is only natural that coiffures should devel op in a corresponding direction. A croped boyish head would be quite incongruous with our very formal, long, flowing evening gowns. Soft curls, twists and rolls are cer tainly more suitable and mere graceful. But these feminine effects may be achieved with the long oh as well as with long hair so that it is not necessary to go through the hideous ordeal of letting the hair crow. In any case a small neat hat Is still desirable—even if the hair is long. More Feminine Bob. For the woman with a medium length bob. who can wear her hair off her face, a very smart and mod ern effect can be achieved by comb ing it straight back from the fore head and leaving a series of soft curls on the cheeks as a frame for the face. Another is parted in the center and loosely waved towards the back of the head over the cars, giving a madonna-like appearance. This is also done with hair parted on the side. Both coiffures give the effect of long hair from the front. For the bobbed head in the eve ning. many hairdressers are using a close twist of hair or a narrow band of curls that fastens across the back of the head, looking like a tiny chignon. Now Coiffures For Growing Hair. Therp are a number of amusing ways to coif the growing hair. Shoulder length hair, loosely waved is combed back from the face be hind the ears and the ends are tightly curled and held in a smail chignon at the nape of the neck. For the in-between stages a charming and youthful coiffure is obtained by curling the ends up Into a toll across the entire back of the head, leaving the curled side lia>r somewhat shorter, Sometimes a softly waved fringe is worn with this type of hairdressing. For hair that is shoulder length in back and short at the sides, a very chic coiffure is achieved by bringing it tight, across the back of the head and fastening it behind the opposite ear with a tiny comb, over which the little ends are curled. The hair around the f^m is softly waved. One of the most Important things in hairdressing is to study your head and determine the lines that are most becoming . s well as smart. If you are in doubt about this yourself there are many experts hairdressers today who specialize in individual coiffures and can tell at a glance Just what lines you should follow. This Couple Loves After Many Years — Kansas Couple Soon Will Hold Celebration Of An niversary. Strong City, Kas.—Way back In 1854, when divorces were almo. t unknown and the vows which sweethearts pledged on their wed, ding day were unbroken save by death, a shy 15-year-old maiden became the bride of a boy just, two years her senior—the playmate of her childhood hours. i>owr. rs jnov, 2 approaches, Mr. and Mrs. B. M. Huston, in the twi light of their lives, look forward to celebrating their seventy-fifth wed ding anniversary. As they look back over their yea:’3 of devotion to each other try to un derstand the change which nas tended to make marriage a thing of the moment to be discarded at Reno a few months later if unsatis factory. Huston, who is now 92 years of age. shakes his head and says, "Di vorces were practically unknown when we were young. When two persons took the marriage vows they took them for life. I do not un derstand why so many young folks go to the divorce court now unless it is t hat modern times are very dif ferent from those of the fifties.’’ And the bride of '54 cannot under stand why love dies so quickly now. "We have lived together for nearly 75 years and never have tired of each other,’’ she ventures, as she fondly regards her aged mate. Although Huston retired as a far mer 20 years ago, he still is active, and most every day his neighbors see him making his way from store to store with a market basket, pur chasing the groceries for his wife. She still cooks three meals a dav bringing her total of meals prepared since her wedding day to some 75, 000. Diamonds, which custom decrees are the appropriate gift on such an occasion, are costlv, but their friends are devoting considerable thought to the gift problem, since they rea son It Isn’t often in these modern days that an opportunity comes to pay tribute to a love that has sur vived throughout 75 years.
