The hair follicles are not properly nourished, for the arteries have become so contracted and the tissues of the scalp so hardened that there is not enough blood to feed the hair roots. Baldness begins on top of the head, generally the only part affected, because it is farthest away from the blood supply. Baldness is also partly due to man's headwear. Women are rarely bald.
Amongst the more than a score of prisoners were several women, all of whom were old hags with the exception of one, who was really good looking considering that she wore the same homely, gray homespun dress and black shawl that did service for headwear, worn by all the women of her sect. All noise subsided when the judge entered the court room.
If he opened the door wouldn't he find Bennie with a towel round his head cramming for the "exams"? For a moment he really imagined that he was an undergraduate. Then as he fanned himself with his straw hat he caught, on the silk band across the interior, the words: "Smith's Famous Headwear, Washington, D.C." No, he was really an astronomer.
Till now dignity and wrath combined had kept Billie from making any enquiries into a matter which had excited in her a quite painful curiosity. In her new mood she resisted the impulse no longer. "Why are you wearing that thing?" "I told you. Purely and simply because I can't get it off. You don't suppose I'm trying to set a new style in gents' headwear, do you?" "But why did you ever put it on?"
"How extraordinary!" said the hostess. "There must be something very good at the roof-gardens." "It has something to do with headwears," said Leonore, not hiding her light under a bushel. "Headwear?" said a man. "Yes," said Leonore. "I only had a glimpse of the heading, but I saw 'Headwears N.G.S.N.Y." A sudden silence fell, no one laughing at the mistake. "What's the matter?" asked Leonore.
I was safe in this, as the shop was really artists in gentlemen's headwear, and carried only shapes, I observed, that were confined to exclusive firms so as to insure their being worn by the right set. As to gloves and a stick, he was again rather pettish and had to be set right with some firmness. He declared he had lost his stick and gloves of the previous day.
"We are wondering what will happen," said the host, "if men go in for headwear too." "They do that already," said a man, "but unlike women, they do it on the inside, not the outside of the head." But nobody laughed, and the dinner seemed to drag from that moment. Leonore and Dorothy had come together, and as soon as they were in their carriage, Leonore said, "What a dull dinner it was?"
"Do you really?" the boys asked him, and he replied, "Pshaw! that's easy, but watch, sonny, and see what he'll try next." Meanwhile the man had taken off his tall silk hat. "You see this hat, ladees an' gents? Just a simple piece of headwear that has seen many suns and rains. No false bottom or top." And he tapped the hat to show them it was just an ordinary hat.
Cyprian behaved in an exemplary fashion in the refreshment department, and cheerfully accepted a fish cake and a mince pie and a small cup of coffee as adequate restoratives after two hours of concentrated shopping. He was adamant, however, in resisting his aunt's suggestion that a hat should be bought for him at the counter where men's headwear was being disposed of at temptingly reduced prices.
That honourable tradesman went to infinite pains before he succeeded in discovering any headwear large enough to shelter the bony casket which contained the Human Comedy." Honore de Balzac was exuberant with joy. He took his hosts by storm through his wit and good humour.
