tells how louis treated him the first time that he entered his shop he said owl several times mnd took from a nail in tha wall av large white klmonollke garment that ho held out for me to put my amis into i started in hpi bi nerntlylnto thtr chair ngulirso that he oouiopu the garment on the chair as well as on and after ho had helped both of us into it he wrapped it snugly round us and buttoned it he beat up the lather and rubbed it thoroughly into my face hof forget tln sy jllr uduumhe spent a good live minutes stropping a large bluehandled roxoron m four- sided strop after which he finished it on the palm of hi hand and seised me by the top of the head at that moment a sharp stinging sensation swept roe from ear to ear i thought for a moment that mv throat hud been cut but such was not the case louis was simply starting out llfao m man with a scythe uwontod to get all he could out of a stroke before taking another but after the initial thrust be jro not so fleroe and t was soon dosing off the way i al ways seem to do when i get in a barbers chair suddenly i became conscious of a lull in proceeding the ominous kind of luu that so often comes just before that storm cast my eyas in the direction of my barber but he appeared at tho first glance to be engaged in a per fectly harmless rracss with the stove he had a pair of tcngs in his hand und was dong something to it- i wondered vaguely what he was going to do with anything ad piping- hot until be swung it round and poised it over my newmown face look outl i cried fn- english you might drop it i tried to jump out of the chair- but that kimono held me tight found that x could not go unless tha chair went too and over wo went with a crash get me out of thlsl i yelled as the chair struck the floor and although those barbers professed to understand no kngllsb they cot mo oat of it in a hurry louis was very much perturbed the towel he had taken such pains to heat hud cooled off entirely and it would be necessary for blnfto heat another not for moi assured him never again just wash off my fuoe und we ii call it day he pointed to tho washbowl for in kranoe it is not customary tor the barber to wash any man a- face so 1 stepped over and washed my own face and in dalpk o i discovered that louis bad failed to shave my up per up i called his attention to the ftiutter and ho enlisted the services of tha- lady customer to tell me t tlehud left htnxiimotnyrbecaue he thought that i would look much better with a moustache if one were to accept fully the com nion cynical und pessimistic street philosophy of
