Suddenly she gives a little chuckle. Mr. Whitney has something to say on the subject. The head of the art department has the floor, says Mr. Pitman. I think the question of the new styles in hair-dressing introduced by the juniors is far more important than this main hall business. Here, let me sketch you some of them. The artist, with a few lightning strokes, draws on the board something resembling a bird's nest. Xow, isn't that dandy he exclaims. It looks exactly like the one I saw as I came here this afternoon.
