Dickie. But blondes are so fashionable! They are all the rage, you know. (Susan tucking the barber’s apron closely round Dickie.) Does it cause any inconvenience?
Susan. Not the least! You can not appear anywhere for several days. (Scream from Miss T. heard off L.)
Dickie. (Bounding from chair.) Goodness! What is that?
Susan. Oh, nothing. They are skinning a girl in there.
Dickie. Mercy sakes! Skinning a girl! That is horrible.
Susan. (Laughs.) You misunderstand. It is the complexion treatment. It takes off the old skin, and I think they took it off that girl pretty deep. It burns like fire at first. (Another scream.)
Mrs. C. runs out D. F.
Mrs. C. My nerves just wont stand that!
Dickie. I’m very glad I don’t have to be skinned. Ugh! it makes me shudder. (Gets in chair.)
