She arrived there in the uniform- of a select girls' fini shing school, in curls, and with a number of schemes vaguely shaping them se lves in the back of her head. One scheme was that curl and uniform s be permanently abandoned in favor of adult attire. And there were otiH·rs of even more importance.
