TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday. March 21. 1957 Persuasion, Peroxide, Potions And Cash Required for Dye Job By GAY PAULEY United Prtsi Correspondent r.ew York (U.K) A new me" is writing today"s column. Finally I've become a blonde. 1 Pale-haired as Marilyn Mon roe. My deci sion to join the 20 million women in the n a t i ft n whn Ss Pa bleach y or f - ,'- j rinse took t . f J . '"' j much urging . i r 0 m friends, ' ' much debate with with my psyche, much peroxide and other potions at Lilly Dache's pink and gold beauty salon. Also, much cash. Whether it was worth it. 1 don't know yet. Do gentlemen prefer blondes? I can report the date rate is up. The whistles keener. First day of the new "do," the boss walked by my desk, and barked. No proposals yet, but I am comforted with knowing that even Miss Monroe was single quite a spell. This decision actually had its start several years ago when the gold of my childhood began to darken, fint into what they called brownette, and then into plain brown. You think this is easy, decid ing on a drastic change? The Na tional Association of Hairdress ers and Cosmetologists assured me some 20 million women, or 60 per cent of our ovcr-14 fem inine population do improve on nature . . . that they "consider 1 hair coloring treatments just as casually as any other cosmetic treatment." Sleepiest Nights I have news for the associa tion. I spent several sleepless nights -before Miss Dache's ex perts went to work. Would I like being a synthetic blonde? Would my hair be damaged? Miss Dache assured me it wouldn't. What would my moth er think? Haven't been to my native West Virginia for a visit yet. Our mothers and grandmoth ers probably went through the same emotional upheaval in de ciding whether to bob. Tfie technique in a drastic change to blonde-ness is to re move all the color nature gave us . . . then tint back to the desired shade. Baby blonde, Miss Dache's crew decreed for me. Had some thing to do with light skin and gray eyes. It is during the period when no hair color's left I figure beauty shops should strap us in our chairs. A girl looks like an African Bushman, turned white by a bad scare. "Lose many customers at this stage?" I asked Mrs. Rita Chazy, who supervised the bleeching. "No," she said, "by the time we get them this far, we have them for keeps." Cosily Venture But cost and time of upkeep may make me turn dark again soon. The complete change took all afternoon and cost $50 I've been scared to turn in an ex pense account. Upkeep requires less time, but costs about $20 per treatment. This, I'm told, will be about every three weeks . . . But those dark roots do show up mighty fast. The hairdressers association said cost, however, varied with both the shop and the city in which it is, located. One thing is certain. If a girl wants notice, this is one way of getting it. The double-takes have been numerous. The comments run about 75 per cent for the change; 25 per cent against. I've been compared flatteringly to Kim Novak by youn,g movie fans and Jean Harlow older movie fans. My office cellmate male took one lock and produced new words to that familiar ad vertising jingle for a certain toothpaste. You wonder where the yel- ....-,. .. .. m. ue .,gf.ir,iwp. m.

HE ADDED SILK TO SUGAR AND SPICE Custome de signer Edward ConRoy used a few pins and lots of imagi nation when he visited Japan Trade Center in San Fran cisco to drape models Francine Yerick and Dee Hardy (right) with lengths of Japanese silk.
