said the good girl She had been sitting with her hair
spread out to let 1t dry. Now she began to set up
the couture.
She separated 1t all into three masses. One fell
over her eyes and down in front. And the two others
fell down each side respectively Then she reached out
for the false, the universal Paris "crepe.'
With its little comb she fixed the 3'crepe' some
where at the crown of the head She fixed each end
of its band that protruded slightly beyond the comb
with a hairpn each side. It parted into three
swelling kinks-one swelling each side and one in
front.
Jeanette fetched up over ono Of them her left
hand mass Of hair combed very smooth. It hid the
kinky crepe and "bouffed or swelled, beautifully;
