climax came this morning, when she altered
her hair. She has always worn it in the

simple coil behind. Oh, sometimes she
would change the position of the coil a
little, so as not to look really queer, but
not with any real interest in the new styles
such as most of us had. This morning it
was plain that she had had it up in papers,
