Vegetables Plus Hair Set New Look for Coiffures

By ELVA CHARLTON Correspondent If you would like to keep your head while everybody else is losing theirs, pamper it with a new vegetable hairdo. I don't mean to extract the vegetable juice and rub it on your head. I mean actually have your hair set in one of the vegetable styles, new crop variety: Artichoke, asparagus, spinach, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower or mushroom. The new pampered look must be cultivated, too. This guarantees you all kinds of things. You no longer have to worry about your husband not noticing you, or your failing health or looks. Instead you can be sure you have lost your mind. Who needs their mind anyway the way the world is today. But suppose you follow my advice and have the mushroom do. You are convinced you have done something for yourself. You feel fine. Then you go to bed and wake up with the spinach do instead. Now you frighten the children and the dog just sits up and howls. Your family really must take action. Comb it? The comb won't go through. Stand in front of the electric fan to cool off and you now look like broccoli with hair four or five inches high. There's nothing to do but cut it all off. Shut your eyes while you cut. Grope your way to the bathroom, wet the comb and comb it all forward on your forehead. Voila! — asparagus do. Nothing to do now but wait for the ambulance. A recent article goes on to debunk the "Old Wives' Tales." There's no such thing as "I was so scared my hair stood on end." "Don't blame the red head for her flaming temper." "Her hair turned white overnight." Yet we see these things happen all the time. But I'm all for the hair stylists and the fashion designers who are trying to shock women out of their lethargy. Women have always been alerted to be conscious of their looks during world emergencies. It's supposed to lend the stabilizing factor to the men. A husband can now go off to the armed forces knowing that everything at home will be all right. The children will probably survive, he thinks. At least with his wife so conscious of vegetables, they won't starve to death. LETTUCE MUSHROOM
