Timothy Hair, a much bewhiskered individual, falls in love with a hair dresser’s pretty daughter, and entering the shop casts a note at the young lady, who sits demurely at her desk. The note informs Miss Edith that the writer loves her devotedly, and asks when he can see her alone. It is signed Timothy Hair, and Edith makes a mental note that the writer has been singularly well named. She also throws him a note telling him to wait until her father goes out. Accordingly Timothy orders the attendant to dress his hair and, finding at the conclusion of the operation that father has not yet gone out, leaves the shop, enters again and then demands a haircut. Meanwhile naughty Miss Edith has shown the note to her lover, one of her father’s assistants, and both are convulsed with laughter as Timothy’s love locks are shorn off. Not only is he obliged to have his beard and whiskers shorn off in order to have some excuse for waiting until father goes out. But all in vain, too, for when the operation is completed, Miss Edith and her lover leave the shop together, leaving poor Timothy regarding himself in the glass. Even his friends do not recognize him and at last he is forced to sport a beard made of crepe hair and a wig in order to get along at all.
