Barber Shop Shorn of Homely Glamor
to Weary Mart by Intruding Bobbed
Hair Fad; 7s Awful, Mr. President!
By WHXTAM W. LAMPMANN.
A homely custom la held eacred In
the masculine heart.
[At women take the places of men
at the polls, in offices, factories,
science, business, yea. In the street
cars, but ' leas# kind providence,
please don’, let them take men's
places In the barber shops.
But It Is a vain prayer, for wo
men have already taken to the male
tonsorlal pnrlori like statio to a loud
speaker. Still even In this crisis,
some man of-tne-hour may arise, unite
ths mrscullne proponents of the
‘‘carve" her hair Into ehape. Her
favorite clip la a real close shingle
at the hark with long wing like aide
hums hanging down to the corners of
her mouth.
Each shop usually has ons or two
barbers at least who ars expert at
shearing feminine "thatches,"
MINOR “REPAIBS” ARE
GIVEN FOR NMII.K.
"Oh, say," remarked ons sweet
young thing as she tripped Into a shop
the other day, “I've gotta date to
night with a fella I ain't never been
out with before; Is my shingle all
sanctity of the barter shop and es
tablish exclusive male shops.
At present barbers have become so
accustomed to their feminine trade
' that "haircut" is almost sn obsolete
word. "Trim” is the,term.
THAT GUILTY FKKMNG
TO THOSK WHO HOVT
Of course any xentleman will tell
you, ladles come first when there Is
a crowd waltinsr for tonsorlal treat
ment. There Is that KUllly feelingr If
you fall to respect the eternal fetn
Inlne.
What a nul-aitre for a man to be
right, or do I need to get It trimmed
a llttl*?”
Tho obliging bob art In t Inspected
tho glrl'a head and ran th# clipper*
over the back of her neck,
''That’ll fix you,” ha amlled
' Much obliged,” hi* patron chirped,
walking out.
Many girl* are making u*e of the
lock of union regulation governing
price* for minor hair operation* »uch
a* thi* to get hair repair* for * *mlle.
But can tli* barber* ha blamed?
Who wouldn't prefer to »nip the
golden lock* of a pretty ml** to
‘™T~
i, llgrd to u*k .1 ferrule patron'* per
uiimdon before he <mt nmoke while
A rr I tin g lit* turn.
The Jovial traveling man d.uthea Inin
' 1 burlier aliop atul plunk* hi* portly
•rlf down In the chair.
"Al told a good on* at the poker
game laat night.” begin* the rare-free
**a legman, ” t *eem» that Pat and
Mik> A dig in the rib* and he
tvl*t* hi* head to find that,a 19 year
old "flapper" la reated in the r»x*
chair having her ehlngle hog trimmed
Verily the freedom and abandon
Which once characterized the barber
ehop la gone. Where man once felt
at home, gte now feel* only rentrairit.
Barber* now have their regular
feminine customer* even »* they hava
their male patron*.
»'! gue»* It'* about time for that
ijttle blond* to come In again, one
remarked to hi* fellow barber the
other day Th* blonde 'n r|u**tion
•aeda a professional hedge trimmer lo
