variations of the boyish bob. Ed.

Bridge street, Augusta. is an author
ity on this style of hair-cutting.
Many women find his sanitary par

quickly.
And, of course, children find Thu

which appeals to them. This comes
from the fact that he likes children
himself, understands them. and real
ly enjoys having them come to his
