1t is at least to be said in their
favor that they went into privacy

And they know not shame.
And why should they" exclaimed
one young thing. who frankly admits
that she'd rather do" the nails of

III the Lord hasn't seen At to en-
dow a man with curly locks. and he
thinks he'd rather have curly hair
than the kind that strings all around
his forehead and over his eyes. why
shouldn't he go to beauty parlor
and have 1t marcelled?"
No longer do the beauty parlors OF
Washington have to depend on the
patronage of the female OF the species
to keep the wolf from the door. II
the truth were known-and it is here
with made known-the time of Wash
ington beauty doctors" is in some
places divided about ffty-flfty be-
tween the men and the women.
1--WE have many men to come in
for marcels." said a girl in a
popular down town shop. And
there's this about it, when they come
once they usually come back for
more. No man, Of course, wants his
hair marcelled this week and straight
as a poker the next. So in this case
a customer one time means a customer
for many times to come.
ITO keep the hair marcelled as It
should be 1t is necessary to have 1t
curled about twice q week" she con-
tinued. "Some men-it all depends on
the quality Of the hair-can get along
with one good marcel a week.
II remember one particular in
stance-one that struck me rather
humorously-which came to my no.
tice. There was a man who had been
coming to us twice a week for months
for a marcel One day he didn't show
up at the appointed time. We all
wondered. But it wasn't long before
we received a frantic call from one of
the hospitals.
'eThe man was i'll at the hospital
and his best girl was coming out to
see him in the afternoon, and all the
| curl had come out of his hair, and 1t
would never do for the girl to dis
cover that IL wasn't naturally curly
and couldn't we send somebody out
to the hospital at once to give him a
marcel? We did"
And IL you have gathered from the
| foregoing that "marcelling" is the
only thing these seekers after beauty
go into beauty parlors for. you're all
wrong. There's something else
much else. One of the principal
things that lures them Into the net OF
beauty doctors" Is the recent inn
provisation of eyebrow plucking. The

ington who have their eyebrows
arched and plucked regularly al
beauty parlors.
IT'S an awful job" said one girl
upon whom has evolved the task OF
plucking the brows of more than one
aspiring young man. Every time you
pull out one little hair they squirm-
n lot worse than women-and they
make the most awful faces. But
they're game. They always come
back"
There are men, too. who, in addi

marcelling process, always ask for q
