the left side (or part my hair
in the middle). I then put
on a collar.
The other day I dropped
the collar stud, and I looked
quite five minutes for it before
I found it. Lastly I tie my
tie, and put on my waistcoat
and coat, and look in the glass
to see if my tie is straight.
My hair is rather long, so I
must go to the hairdresser’s
(barber’s) and have it cut, but
I never let him shave me. It
is cheaper to shave oneself.
I put on a pair of clean
cuffs yesterday, so I don’t
think I need a clean pair again
to-day. — Have you a good
washerwoman? Oh yes, the
one I have now, is very good.
She irons and starches very
well, and mends my things,
and darns my socks if I tell
her to.
What do you think of my
sleeve-links? — They look
awfully nice. — Are they real
gold? — Oh no, they were
not at all expensive, I only
gave two shillings for them. —
Where did you buy them? —
At Anderson’s in the Svea Road.
— Your boots look very badly
polished. — Yes, I know they^
do, we have such bad
boot-polish now, I must try a new
sort.
