who have nothing to do with bangs; that

manner Of Clipping hair which he admits
is pretty. He (old many talks of the past,
With it's girls with such sweet, innocent

boys were only too willing to be in their
company. Well, IS all this not SO now:

one with judgement enough to decide a

nous brought fifty cases and took receipt for
