"Charming; perfectly charming," Mary replied, vaguely; the tears were near her eyes. "You must come again, to-morrow, and do it under my supervision. It only needs this, now." She thrust two heavy tortoise-shell pins into the coils on either side of Mary's head. "Those beautiful pins! I am afraid I shall lose them!" "But they are yours, mementoes of the new era in hair-dressing.
But on one side of the narrow door she could make out an incongruously ornate and showy cigarstore; on the other, an equally unlooked-for woman's hair-dressing and manicuring parlor. In the one, indeed, you might sedately purchase a perfecto, and take your peaceful departure, never dreaming of how closely you had skirted the walls of the busiest poolroom south of all Twenty-third street.
The latter moral revolution seemed to have been accepted as submissively as a change in hair-dressing; and it even struck Bernald that, in the case of many of the assembled ladies, their convictions were rather newer than their clothes.
As a great amount of time is expended upon hair-dressing, and as no one ever thinks of wearing it in its natural state, and as nothing is more under the influence of fashion than the hair, it has become by consent of all an accessory of great importance. Will any one affirm that it is a matter of indifference how the hair is dressed? Whether in plaits or bows?
Shorn of her hat and her elaborate hair-dressing, the lady was no longer showy, and Saterlee, out of the tail of an admiring eye, began to see real beauties about her that had hitherto eluded him. Whatever other good qualities and virtues she may have tossed overboard during a stormy and unhappy life, she had still her nerve with her. So Saterlee told himself.
Whose boots were they, she wondered. She then became aware of a swishing sound next door a woman, clearly, putting away her dress. It was succeeded by a gentle tapping sound, such as that which accompanies hair-dressing. It was very difficult to keep her attention fixed upon the "Prelude." Was it Susan Warrington tapping?
Not being an adept in the use of that refractory language which Young Japan would so like to flatten out and plane down for vernacular use, the Japanese barber is not always happy in executing the English legend for his sign-board. The following are specimens: "A HAIR-DRESSING SALOON FOR JAPANES AND FOREIGNER."
She took it, and, tossing it on the bed, gave Byron to the child to play with, and went on with the hair-dressing. "There, now," she said, "is not this a masterpiece of barber's craft? Look at the back of your head, and then come down." "Yes, I will, for I feel better." When I returned to my room again it was like meeting a confidential friend. A few days after, father came to Rosville.
And notwithstanding the rights claimed on the score of ancient memories, and of the clumsy assertion which only proves its loss of its calling, that art serves art, it has become a trade, providing men with something agreeable; and as such, it inevitably comes into the category of choreographic, culinary, hair-dressing, and cosmetic arts, whose practitioners designate themselves as artists, with the same right as the poets, printers, and musicians of our day.
I was allowed to amuse myself drawing flowers, which were quite a surprise, and pronounced better than anything the drawing master could do to recite poetry, for the benefit of the larger girls, and to play in the orchard with my pupils. With the other girls, I became interested in hair-dressing.
