THE WHITE GARDEN by Stephanie Barron
Book Quote: “Harold is quite free of certain hypocrisies regarding our national character—that gentlemen are honourable, that allegiances are always clear. That there is a right way of living and a wrong.

Cut for a 1940s hairstyle...I recently had my looong hair cut into a 40s layered style using some cutting diagrams from the "1940s Hairstyles" book. I'm very pleased with how the cut came out--with my thick hair it's about the length of the "Middy Plus" style. This is also a cut that works well for modern wear as well; I can style my hair in a contemporary way for days that I don't have the time to set curl without a problem!
