The Mission of Bangs

By Editor

"BANGS," it is said, are going out of fashion. We do not know whether to rejoice or not. They are hideous; the fashion appears to have been taken from the "Digger" squaws, who always have their hair cropped to hang over their diminutive foreheads. Yet the fashion seems to be fitting. The forehead is the glory of the human race; it is a sign of intelligence. And where there is a scarcity of intellect, it is quite appropriate to "take in the sign." We rather think the bangs had better stay; they have a "mission" to fulfill.
