BY CYNTHIA GREY | It is a law of nature that opposites are attracted to one! another and for this reason girls should not bob their hair) if they wish to retain the interest of “the only, man” is a theory advanced by a man reader. | Another correspondent takes another view. Bobbed hair,| | cigarets, etc., are but external things and have little or no | l effect on the thing we call “personality” which calls forth| | love, writes another, Following are the letters: Dear Miss Grey: The letter in a recent issue of your; | paper signed “Ho Hum” expresses my sentiments exactly, | so I want to emphasize what he wrote. As to the question, should a girl have the same privileges | as a boy, I say yes. But for beauty’s sake, girls, don’t muti-| | late your feminine charms by cutting off your hair. Why?) Because it is a law of nature that opposites attract each | other, while similar objects repel. The easiest way to demon- | | strate this is with the poles of a magnet. | Likewise, a girl is more attractive to a boy tf she is differ- ent in appearance as well as in temperament. I can sympathize with the young man who broke his en-} gagement when his sweetheart bobbed her hair. Altho I was not engaged to a young lady, I was keeping steady company} with her. Then one afternoon when I called, she appeared | with her locks shorn off. My desire to be in her company} ceased as abruptly as tho she had turned into a boy, so I a going with her, because my attraction for her had been illed, Some girls have camouflaged their hair to some degree by using the curling iron, but the straight bob actually causes me to experience a feeling of repulsion, while the girl who rigs herself cut in hiking suits and wears them on the slight- est excuse is little more attractive to me than a boy. I am not a woman-hater. #1 have expressed my honest opinions, and if this letter will cause even one girl to retain her charm, either by influencing her not to bob her hair or allowing it to grow out, I will feel well repaid. And in writ- ing this, 1 am expressing the opinions of other boys and men of my acquaintance. CACTUS WHISKERS. Dear Miss Grey: A person sign.
