A smart Topeka woman went down
town to beauty shop the other day
to have her hair washed and dressed
The beauty doctor put up her locks in
elaborate fashion highly pleasing to the
vanity of her patron, until she found
her hat didn't fit the couture. In
fact, she couldn't get her hat on. She
asked that her hair be put up differ
emily. Another trial was made, but
still the hat wouldn't go over the new
ly dressed hair. The patron was in
despair, fearing to be obliged to go
about bareheaded the rest of the sea-
son. But the beauty doctor thought of
way. She has her shop in one OF the
big stores, and in suggesting a remedy
for the trouble, she led the patron into
the millinery department and advised
her to buy a new hat to fit the reno
waited head. Our heroine bought TIE
hat, and her troubles appear to have
| just begun; for she isn't onto the
twist of the new hairdress, and If she
expects to wear the new hat, it would
appear that she will have to have her
hair dressed to suit it till the spring
comes, gentle Lulu, and she can get a
new bonnet.
