BARBER BOBS;
FATHER SUES
Irate Parent Seeks Damages
For Shearing Locks of 18
Year-Old Daughter
Paris.—Bobbing hair without pa
pa’s consent Is a dangerous busi
ness In France.
Just recently an Irate parent
brought suit against a Paris coif
feur who cut oft his daughter’s
locks without first getting the au
thorization of the father. The 18
year old girl In question had been
waiting for a long time to be rid of
her woman’s glory. But papa, who Is
a prominent deputy, forbade hei
■ternly to touoh the sacred hair on
her head. She didn't; but one day,
when father was busy at the cham
ber, mademoiselle hied herself to
the coiffeur’s and said:
"Cut ’em off quick!”
When tho deputy came back to
fala house there was a nice little
scene with daughter, and then he
proceeded to the poor barber, who,
of course, was unable to repair the
trouble. The father at once began
legal proceedings; and now the
barbers all around the city are
wondering what to do. They con.
tend that they can only follow or
ders given them and with that their
responsibility ends. It will be a
difficult matter, Indeed, if It becomes
necessary to eract a written permla.
sion from the parent or husband
every time the hair is wanted short.
The truth of the matter Is that
before the affair can be settled there
will be no occasion for bobbing
locks, for the wheels of fashion turn
! fast—especially In Paris.

acter. Some of the land has proven
