time when women combed their hair up

things IN 1t to keep it up
Now. he thinks, they don't even bother

kind Of q fancy knot on the back Of
their heads. And by any bye it works
down over the lady's collar and little
wlsps stick out where little wiSps should
not be, and the whole bunch of hair be-
comes a sight to yeX the soul of neat
and beauty loving man.
