FLASHBACK: Vanity Fair, 1927

Then as now: These bobbed Bernices of 1927 look utterly contemporary. The top three could be matron-izing Regine's, the bottom three dis-gracing Area.

THE LINCOLN CUT This distinctly feminine model somehow suggests the rugged grace of the Great Emancipator. It is immensely popular out West where ladies are still female.

THE COOLIDGE COIF Economy is the key-note of the Coolidge Cut which still achieves a saving grace in its smartness. It lies easy on the brain, looks wise, and means almost nothing.

THE VERY LAST WORD The dernier cri in smart hair history is the scheme of complete deforestation. Alfred, the Master Marceller, having exhausted his ideas on what to do to hair, decides to do away with it.

THE TUNNEY BRUSH This fighting bob is a sure character developer. The vertical tresses with a fine hairline edge require twenty minutes of setting-up exercises, to set them up.

THE WASHINGTON A perfect coiffure for the Co lonial Dame or Daughter of the Revolution, recalling the Fa ther of his country and worn by Mrs. Daggett, the mother of twelve.

THE FOLLETFE HEAD This tempestuous arrangement is almost universal in the wide Wisconsin spaces where winds and alfalfa come high. It usual ly connotes intellect and a radi cal and restless disposition.
