Setting a Hair-do in Russia Vvie had mny flrst professional rhairdo in Russia - and It was somrething! Since my owýn hairdresser, Nellie Cavallo of Akron, Ohio, had asked me ta flnd out how Russian hairdressers' wor-k, and because long dlays- and nights on trains, planes, and boats had lef t my hair in a sad state, 1 decided teY try a haidresser in Yalta, swiank Russian reszort-towýýn on the Black, Sea made f amous by the conference of the Big Three powers, writes Helen Water- lieuse iniPThe Christian Scienceý Monitor. The hotel coinbin ationi inter- preter anti desk clerk, a woman of course, admnitted she wasn't too sure where I could flnd one. "4Most of us do our own hair here," she said. However, dlown oni the "board- wvalk" which corresponds to the tine at Atlantic City, I found la bus:y shop, witlT customners. at ing-and seven operatars work'- ing at seven chairs with four mfanicunirsts' tables at the sidie. A cashier sat in an inclosed booth like a theater-tlieket boooth. It could have been any Amen.- ican beauty shoip at first glance. Then 1 began ta notice the- weird equipmnent. Strange antennalîke couls and wires were sprouting frrni the heads of the waomen- who ap-. parently were gtigPerman- ents. .1 found even in Moscow -cold weaves" are unhecard of and the 0ld machine waves, plus plenty git old-fashioned marcels done with a curling iron, are the rule.

The wasli was per- formed with a teakettie filied with bat water at a nearby sink gnd pauredi over myý headi as 1 sat iigainst a tin wa sh bastin ai- fair. 1 tried ta explaîn "bobby pins" but tbey were unheard of, My blond Young operator utsed aid- fashioned curlers with elastie bands. I noticed each operatar kept lier own utensils, curlers, etc., in a small suitcase. Women swaddled in the sheet dryers were gossipit,g , suppose, as al wamen do in beauty shops. They soon discovered I was un-1 able ta catch a word and foal- Iowed mie curiauisly1 back rýta my ehair as the blond girl began combing out my Iocks. First thing 1 knew 1 had an- av-dmiring audience surroundIng Me, twTo deep, And mrucli ta my amnazemrent, the operator was catching on ta mY Poodie cut and doing a cred- ftable job at it, despite the fact dhat a"] Russian womnen wear their hIai r long, or fil og and mostly combed sgoothly1 bac~k or hanging- in frîzzes aroun'd their faces, l'il choose hairdressing Aner- ican style I'm sure-but at least 1 was "qileen for a nîglit" wheni 1Ivient ta a restaurant later for dinfler and was given a seat of luonor at a table alone, close ta th-e tbree-piece orchestra. Ineidentally, the hairdo is the One thing F'ie toilnd reasonably Priced in this country. Peering juta the ticket booth .1 asked the eperator what was eny bill "Four rubles, 18 kýopei," she replied. That's about $1.25 - in mny miciney. Incidentally, Soviet womren use no cosmnetics, not even a tcfh ef ïlistiak Key To The Suez Crsis -nuIL ' ently s.11a SYRIA Tabr~z Tcheran , ERMANSHAH E~.
