A QUEEN'S HAIR
Queen Elizabeth of Belgium—through her official spokesman—denies that she has had her hair bobbed. The denial is entertaining.
"If her majesty looks as though her hair were shingled," says the royal statement, "that is because of the skill of her hairdresser, who is able to make the queen's hair appear as if it were cut. But no shears have touched her hair."
This is reassuring. Most of us have been unable to sleep nights from fear that the Queen of the Belgians had joined the flappers with a bobbed bob.
But Elizabeth is plainly slipping. Any woman with enough regard for the prevailing style to disguise her hair in imitation of it isn't far from hirsute perdition. First thing she knows, that queen will be thrusting a pair of shears into the hands of a maid of honor, and shutting her eyes.
