Horrors of War Growing;
Hairpins Becoming Scarce
And here is another piece of news
that will make the girls say "horrors."
There's a shortage of hairpins. This
war has just about put the art of hair-
dressing "on the fritz." Hairpins have
finally come in for their full share of
attention. Having a long list of antique jokes about being a woman's
prime solution to all difficulties to
their credit, the heretofore unassuming little bits of crinkled-in-the-mid-
dle wire have at last come to the front
and demand a dignified recognition.
Now that there may be a scarcity of
them they are becoming cherished
possessions.
All coiffure builders have announced
that hereafter when women want
their hair dressed they must bring
along their own pins or there will be
no elaborate arrangement of their
crowning glory. And the explanation
for this, worse than terrifying possibility was that the countries which
have always supplied the pins for milady's coiffure are keeping all of their
wire at home for ammunition.
