months ago I saw a tall man a sottln'
in un uutomoblle at the postofflce.
He wore what they told ine was
called sideburns. I thot them things
looked kinder purty, so when I went
home I told Nancy and she said, 'SI,
you get in stile now. You kin raise
'em, too.' So I put some cream
under my ears and In a few days
them burnsides begin to sprout. Now,
reader, raise your brush above the
ears and kum down south with light
strokes. Make Bonie dashes and dots
here and there and don't forglt a
gray dash sometimes. Then a touch
of yuller (that's where I used some
hair dye one day) then taper off
around under tho ear sorter shaped
like the letter V but leave the edges
a little shaggy. Now that looks
kinder dignified." Ha! Ha! Don't
