If I may be permitted to express a preference in the matter, I would like to have my hair in order." Madame de Noailles closed the door, and turned stiffly to the first lady of the bedchamber. "Oh, no," said Marie Antoinette, "I will not trouble my good Madame de Campan today. Did my secretary fetch the hair-dresser from Paris?"
I took the room, purchased an old table, two chairs, got a pole with a red stripe painted around it, and the next day opened, with a sign over the door, "Fashionable Hair-dresser from New York, Emperor of the West." I need not add that my enterprise was very annoying to the "shop over the way" especially my sign, which happened to be the most expensive part of the concern.
"I have no doubt that it would accord charmingly with my physiognomy," said the emperor, once more indulging in a peal of laughter, "but to-day I must content myself with the usual European style. Dress my hair as you see it, and be diligent, for I am pressed for time." The hair-dresser reluctantly obeyed, and in a few minutes the work was completed and the artiste had gone.

For mother has had a milliner come to the house, and a dressmaker, and a hair-dresser, and whatever we have any knack at she has made us learn well, some one thing, and some another.
And I hope," added Miss Jessamine, desperate with the results of experience "that the General knows that Boys will be Boys." What mischief could be foreseen, Jackanapes promised to guard against. The General arrived, and for the first day all went well, except that Jackanapes' hair was as wild as usual, for the hair-dresser had no bear's-grease left.
He got up at three o'clock on summer mornings, and in the winter-time he was always dressed by five, at the very latest. "While his hair-dresser was at work, he opened his most important letters. After that, he attended to other business affairs of the country. These things were done before eating or drinking.
Willa, meantime, had plowed her way through the slush in the Park on her early morning canter, and surrendered herself listlessly to the hands of her hair-dresser.
