In this article the Drifter, the pseudonym writer, narrates his experience. When the Drifter was younger the fashionable springs of action were purely moral. The mode has changed. Nowadays every-thing goes back to economic motives. The Drifter has discovered, for instance, why big employers are beginning to campaign against bobbed locks. It is the secret hand of the human hair trust! In June, 1920, the hair interests imported 220,000 pounds of Chinese hair to pad the hideous humps that girls used to wear atop their heads and about their ears.
