“I want them all cut,” he responded. “If I only wanted one hair cut I could have cut it myself. But I want a shave first.”

Thoughtfully the girl passed her hand across his face after he had seated himself in the chair. “ You’ve been shaved once to-day,” she remarked. “Ye—e—s; I always get shaved twice a day—or—l meant that this shave is for a brother of mine,” he stammered, rather at a loss for a good lie. The young lady said nothing more, but, after lucking the towel round his neck in a manner which be describes as sending the hot Hashes and cold streaks down his back, pioceeded to lather him in a pre-occupied manner. “It’s a—whew!” pleasant morning lie was about to say, but as be opened his mouth to let the words out the lather brush went in ; hence the change in sentiment. “ Excuse me, sir,” she said sweetly. “Cert—ow ! look out! That’s my eye !” This remark was occasioned by the newly-loaded brush landing in bis left optic as the young charmer learn d for ward to look out of the window at a pass ing policeman. Our correspondent says that many things are graven deeply on the tablets of his memory, but nothing so deeply as the recollection of that shave. He is certain it had never occurred to that girl to have her razors honed, and all through the massacre he winced and squirmed. He was too proud to cry or even expostulate. But when she asked him if the razer “took hold,” he hinted at his torture by replying that it not only took, but refused to let go. All his golden anticipations of the touch of the velvety fingers and soon were nipped in the bud. After this disillusionment be had not the heart to have his haircut, and after she had brushed it in a most unorthodox man ner, combing it straight back from his brow, and down over his ears in an eccen tric fashion patented by herself, be escaped. Wince that adventure he has not been nearly so cocksure about the supremacy of woman in every profession. Indeed, there have been moments when bis disloyalty has almost reached the point of agreeing-with Mrs. Lynn Linton in her wholesale denun ciation of women who forsake the domestic hearth and enter into business competi tion.
