The appearance of the Reichstag to the stranger is notable for the presence of military, naval, and clerical uniforms. It is, as one looks down upon them, an assembly where at least one-fourth are bald or thin-haired, and together they give the impression of being big in the waist, careless in costume, slovenly in carriage, and lacking proper feeding, grooming, and exercise.
He was erect and walked with a firm step; he wore a heavy grayish mustache that turned under; his chin had a forceful squareness; he was thin-haired, nearing baldness. In his manner was a sort of firm affability, and his voice was of that tone which success nearly always assumes, kindly, but with a suggestion of impatience.
He lit a vesta, but checked his hand. "I only want to take off half, though." "That's all right." Beetle waved the brush. "I'll lather up to the middle see? and you can burn off the rest." The thin-haired first mustache of youth fluffed off in flame to the lather-line in the centre of the lip, and Stalky rubbed away the burnt stumpage with his thumb.
"I wish you'd come up to Mr. Frazer's with me some Sunday afternoon for tea, Ericson." He was a thin-haired young man, with a consuming love of his work, which was the saving of souls by teaching Lycidas and Comus. This was his first year out of graduate school, his first year at Plato and possibly his last. It was whispered about that he believed in socialism, and the president, the Rev. Dr.
Small as a child in body, wagging a thin-haired head larger than lifesize, the Chief surveyed Fancher with icy green eyes.

Gwepton, let me tell you something that I've been wanting to say for the last two or three minutes, only you wouldn't given me a chance; you've got a hairpin dropping out on the left side. You thin-haired women always find it difficult to keep your hairpins in." "What can one do with a woman like that?" Mrs. Val demanded afterwards of a sympathising audience.
Molly had always been alone. She was a tall, dark, sallow, thin-haired creature, and she was always troubled with a cough, and she had a bad temper, and always said ugly dreadful swear words. Anna found all this very hard to bear, but she kept Molly a long time out of kindness. The kitchen was constantly a battle-ground.
That thin-haired, shaky-fingered gentleman counted the papers on the black news stand. "There's one for ol' Miss Anderson, an' one for " "Never mind them," John broke in excitedly. "Give me all your papers! You've got to!" At that, the number was pitifully inadequate for his demands. He retraced his steps to the corner and hurried over to the suburban railroad station.
Though he was in rebellion, naturally Babbitt did not care to be seen talking with such a fanatic, but in all the Pullmans he could find no other acquaintance, and reluctantly he halted.
