She came into q dingy little shop on
d street, where an old colored man keeps
a scissors grinding establishment, and
after furnbling for some moments beneath
her apron, in the folds OF her dress, she
drew forth long, vicious looking razor.
by signs and motions and a few words
OF broken English. she explained to the
colored man that she wished to have the
steel sharpened.
She was about forty years old, perhaps
and as could best be learned she went

or, upon whose face grew beard that
for many days had not felt the keen edge
OF the tonsorial artists weapon. Surely,
it could not be for him that the razor was
to be made sharp.
The old scissors grinder thought perhaps
IL might mean suicide, but saw 70 cents In
the job and made noinquiries.
The sequel, however, to this somewhat
singular occurrence lies ID the fact that
there is certain class or Polish women
who, when they marry. shave their heads.
They never allow the hair to grow out
again after entering the state OF wcdlock.
Once every month the razor is applied and
the scalp laid bare. There are less than
half dozen Polish women In Washington
who follow this quaint custom. and the
woman in the scissors grinders shop was
one OF them.
NOT UNIVERSALLY FOLLOWED. .
The majority Of Polish women donotheed

their sisters for the folly. but nevertheless
the custom prevails. and in their native
land, among certain class, has large
following. 1t is said that the reason why SO
few OF these women are seen in America
is that the Poles, who leave their own
country, are, If not more prog ressive, at
least not content to follow in the old rut.
The origin Of this peculiar practice is
shrcuded In mystery. as all such ancient
customs are. Some say it is legendary,
