ASK THESE BEAUTICIANS
ABOUT THE VICTORY BOB:

heard, but folk. it pears to me
that those long, flowing locks are
on the way out! They simply
aren't svelte with that khaki or
rich olive drab uniform which |
see SO many Of our leisure-ti time
women wearing these days. Then
girls you must keep up your APP
pearance in or out Of uniform.
Take it from this columnist, if it's
a facial you seek, then let Lygo-
ria Mayor in the Rosenwald
Garden Apartments beauty shop
do the job. She's terrific.
And if it's personality

English ... hair-styling, Stormy
Clarke has the key and I don't
mean maybe! Now, do take me
seriously, because both these
beauticians are tops in their
profession, no matter what beau
ty aid is on your program.

GOSSIP

All gossip is hyperbole,
A strand of truth stretched too far,
A little knife thrust verbally,
That cannot help but leave a scar.
Gossip is the idle's way
Of seeming wise and oh so sure, oh,
A sign by which some folk convey
That they're an information bureau.
Gossip is the clanking chains
Man rattles in his neighbours attic,
To hide some skeleton life contains,
He turns free speech to static.
Gossip is the Monday hash
Of many things folks wish they knew,
AS long as we can spice the trash,
Who cares if it is false or true.
Gossip is the grand sensation,
Telling tales, not knowing why,
But who puts truth in conversation,
Will never have much to deny!
