From these and the captain's description, it appeared that the people of Arfak were similar to those of Dorey, and I could hear nothing of the straight-haired race which Lesson says inhabits the interior, but which no one has ever seen, and the account of which I suspect has originated in some mistake.
With us discussion became an adventurous exploration into a new country; the man from Maine could not but be interested in finding out what that strange, straight-haired, dark creature from Carolina might think of even the most commonplace subject. Only our subjects were not commonplace.
A few of the old men have their hair thinning on the crown, but a tendency to baldness is by no means the rule. Bontoc pueblo is no exception to the rule that every pueblo in the Philippines has a few people with curly or wavy hair. I doubt whether to-day an entire tribe of perfectly straight-haired primitive Malayan people exists in the Archipelago.
And in the issue of May 4 appeared two pictures side by side exotic, straight-haired, slant-eyed Anita Lee, who had found life so insupportable that she had ended it, and the same photograph of living, vital Nita Leigh.
Two races were there, as wide as the poles apart the thin-lipped, straight-haired Arab and the thick-lipped, curly negro yet the faith of Islam had bound them closer than a blood tie.
Pushing a match across a slippery floor with one's nose looked so easy and proved so difficult that both ghosts and freshmen, as they cheered on the eager contestants, longed to take part in the enticing sport. The fluffy-haired twin kept well ahead of her straight-haired sister, until, when her match was barely a foot from Georgia's chair it caught in a crack and broke in two.
Instead, they found the polls surrounded with ticket pedlers shouting: "Walk right up here now, and get your Unconditional-Union-Abraham-Lincoln -tickets!" "Here's your straight-haired prosecution-of-the-war ticket." "Vote the Lincoln ticket; vote to whip the Rebels, and make peace with them when they've laid down their arms." "Don't vote a McClellan ticket and gratify Rebels, everywhere," etc.
"Oh, dear!" sighed the fluffy-haired twin forlornly, trying to single out her divinity from among the sheeted ghosts. Her despair was too much for soft-hearted Polly. "Never mind," she said kindly "The race is hereby called off." "And we can both send you flowers, can't we?" demanded the straight-haired twin, jumping up, flushed and panting from her exertions.
Unlike most philosophers, Mivers made his practice conform to his precepts; and while in the prime of youth inaugurated a wig in a fashion that defied the flight of time, not curly and hyacinthine, but straight-haired and unassuming. He looked five-and-thirty from the day he put on that wig at the age of twenty-five. He looked five-and-thirty now at the age of fifty-one.
Well, I'll take them, John, if I have to go meself; and it's Terence McCarty that will not see her suffer; and maybe but it's hard seeing how a girl could take a fancy to a short curly-headed Irishman, like meself, after having loved a sthrapping, straight-haired man like you."
