But this persifaRe got only one of
those looks that said in any language.
"On your way" So I saunters down
to the coiffeur and peeks In the door.
There Is big blonde in the chair with
an oporto blanco nose and she Is get

he could say 1t, because the blonde also
has a moustache which figure she
will want to have waxed after she gets
her boyish bob and that would take
some time because 1t looked like very
refractory moustache.
So I goes down to the Cafe of the
Pines to get an aperitif and see II there

1 know ou," and 1t was Moe. Any
time he gets from under derby hat
that comes over his ears he thinks he
Is disguised or travelling incognito like
the Prince of Wales.
So Moe and I have a couple OF
rounds of aperitifs and Moe wants 70
set them mp again. but told him l
had TO 20 over and get the hair cut.
To be sOciabIe Moe said that he
cure, providing the manicure girl was
not too hard TO look at.
When we get there see big fellow
with one of those spade-shaped hedges
on his chin getting It trimmed. We
start to sit down and wait, but the
coiffeur says something in French. He
says that you have to make an appoint
ment because he is occupied for most
Of the day." Moe explains.
Tell him I'm next and that's all there
Is to IL, said firmly. That's the rule
at all OF the best barber shops"
But Moe explains that this does not
go in France. When you want a hair
cut make an appointment the same as
you do when you want tooth pulled.
So asks Moe to have him give me
the next open date which Is half past
IA O'Clock and we 20 back to the Cafe
of the Pines to get few more aperitifs.
Before ] come TO Juan les Pins some
body tells me that Frank Ward O'Mal-
ley, who used TO be a newspaperman
himself once. was hanging out in the
burg. ask the bartender II Mr..
OMalley has been around, but he says
that he does not comprong Monsieur
OMalley. Which makes It look bad all
around, because ! figure that this can
not be a first-class bar or Mr.. O'Malley
would have been in. In the old days
you could not keep him out OF Jacks
| which is saying a whole lot.
! "Or Maybe O'Malley ran up too much
| on the slate" Moe suggested, land is
| sort of laying low for a while. These
| fellows won't carry you along as long
! as they used to at Lipton's or Perry'S.

60 MOE and come back ut half past

on account of the aperitifs, which al
ways make him feel that way. But he
is game and says that he will stick II
out and see me through the hair cutting

The chair is empty when I step into
