WOMEN are beginning to wear their hair in the new upward position. I have been approached by many women during the last few days concerning the problem of changing their hair style, so I think that certain basic rules should be laid down…,

If you want your hair to have that sleek, well-kept look you have so greatly admired in smart women, keep an old silk handkerchief with which to polish your hair after you have thoroughly brushed it.
