Sees One Growing After Several Years
of Careful Plucking for Beauty

because those eyebrows had
camera culture. She didn't have
to use her eyes or her voice at all,
she just radiOd with those eye
brOWs and got more service than
a guest that could talk five lam

LOOKS INTELLECTUAL.
It was a great shock to me to
meet one of my old pals I'm q
lunch counter the other day. The
last time saw her her eyebrows
were mere daslles over each eye,
but now they are a cOupla bump
ers. She actually looks intel
lectual. Besides raising 'em she
pencils 'em and eI0ngates 'em on
each side almost to the ear.
They are so thick she has to hang
wet paint signs on 'em to remind
her not to put her hat on till they
dry.
When I left home you'd have
to look for her eyebrows with q
telescope when you shook hands
with her. Now you can see 'enl
across the lobby with your naked
eye.
She wouldn't be a bad looking
girl now IL she would quit burn
ing her eyelashee off Iightin'
cigarettes.
We've always had q bond of
sympathy.
She parts her teeth in the
middle and / part mine on the
side and we don't like either
way.
IL there's gotta be a cOWIick i'm

/ don't know whether to cuiti-
vate my eyebrows again or not.
1t would be just my luck to have
one eyebrow grow out curly and
the other straight.
I guess I'll just keep on nOwin'
'em and let well enough alone.
