We sat down to watch the movie and during the first commercial, Carol ran to her room and returned with a comb and brush. She said she was to go to the beauty parlor in the morning and always brushed her hair out very thoroughly the night before. It looked like so much fun that I asked if she would like me to do it for her. She handed me the brush and I started stroking her beautiful chestnut colored hair with it. The movie started again but I continued brushing her hair until the next commercial which came on about twenty minutes later. By now her hair had a lovely sheen to it and had reverted to it's natural curl. As the movie was about to begin Carol suggested I sit in her chair and she would brush my hair.

When I saw that she was going to apply these items to my face, I really got stubborn, but she quieted me down by saying for me not to be silly, as it was just as harmless as wearing her nighties and mules. She said she just wanted to see how I would look with makeup added to my new hair-do. I surrendered and must admit that I was rather curious to see how I would look too.
