Crowning Tip. Growing importance of bangs in the current style picture induced Lanie Harper series to adopt a special ruler-straight variety correctly proportioned to her face by New York hair stylist Victor Vito. Bangs can artfully be employed, says Mr Vito, to create the perfect oval face illusion by camoflaging too low or too high foreheads. Fluffy curls of varying length balance the thin, long face, and a billowing top-forehead cluster can well compliment the round face. c.1940
