A couple of hairpins works loose and drops to the floor. "Excuse me, Ma'am," says I, "but you're goin' to lose the inside of that French roll if you keep on." That fetched her out of it in a hurry. Grabbin' wild at her back hair, she sat up and faced us, with no signs at all of real weeps in her eyes. "I won't live in the country, I won't!" she states explosive. "Why, Mabel dear!" protests Mr.
