''Next!' said p!quant AZ d rather pretty
girl with Il towel in one dimpled hand and
Iazor III the other. She glanced down q
Inc of eight customers who were awaiting
their turn in the new barber shop In
Broad street, near Wall, New York. "A
Young man with delicate golden hair, care
fully parted III the middle, jumped ND SO
quickly that he let fall his eye glass. lie
dropped into the empty barbcr's chair and
crossed his feet convulslvcly on tho stool.
Three barber chairs were ranged along
side this one; at two of them young ladies
were shaving Sims and ut the other q
pretty brunette was Gyeing black the

were the twenty thousandth time she had
shaved some one, put one arm around the
top OF the chair, at which the young man
with hair like an autumn leaf wriggled his

encouraged the fair barber TO talk, and she
ratified away about the new style of fall

shaving was finished the young man ling

them carefully in, when :hey tlcklcd the
young customers under the chin with their
finger tips in rubbing the lather into the

many Of the young men offered dolla

overcoats and were ready to 90 cut. Theil
astonishment was great when they learned
that only the ordinary fees were charged
Some said 1t was equal TO night at tn,
