Show DIMPLE AND there was only one chair vacant in a down town barber shop the other day when a tall young man accompanied by a lady and a lovely little girl of five entered and calling the head barber to one ride gave him a few explicit directions then the little girls hat was removed and the barber enveloped her in one of the big white aprons the young man lifted her up into the barbers chair with a whispered word of reassurance and the lady after kissing her passed her hands caressingly over all the beautiful golden brown curls then she sat down in a corner where the child could not see her face and pulled out her pocket handkerchief by this time the occupants of the five other chairs had become vastly interested all eyes were fixed on the sweet baby face with its curly halo it was a pale little face and there were no rosebuds on its cheeks but above them were two glorious gray eyes that shone like pair of stars on each side of the little face rested a particularly fat curl the child placed her hand upon each as the barber advanced with the big shears and gazed beseechingly up into his face now mr barber I 1 want yon to leave dimple and dumpling until the very last cut
