THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOWN
Who is so vain that if she comes
down town when the moisture takes
| the wave out of her back hair she re-
fuses to go on the street until it is
| done over. More than once she has
/ been seen in the rest rooms with her
/ hair on curriers'. Thus does one gair
| the reputation of being one of the
best looking women in town, and thus
does she pay dearly for such a repu.
/ tation.
