We have been working for two weeks when Dovey comes busting in one night with a scarf over her head like some of us wear when we are off duty and it’s cold out at night. She stands in the middle of the room, and she waits until we all look at her.

“Dovey Borland, what are you up to?”

She just grins and pulls off her scarf. Her hair is marceled in perfect, pretty waves on her head, and she struts through barracks like she a movie star. We all jump up and Phillipa start screaming.

“We got a beauty shop!”

Our battalion commander, who is in charge of all the women, got together with our own brass in special services and requisitioned a beauty shop, including marcel irons and straightening combs. Since Dovey knew folks who had been beauticians when they were civilians, she got wind of it first thing and made herself an appointment. I can’t help smiling when I see her looking so happy. Dovey hasn’t hardly smiled twice since we got here.

“Where is it?”

“Can anybody go?”

“They got some hair tint over there?”

Dovey laughs as we just about fall over our feet trying to put on our coats and grab our handbags and gloves and be out the door first. This is what we need for our morale. It maybe don’t make much sense to those five-star generals, the commanders, and the rest of the brass, but those English looking at us all the time don’t seem so bad now. When we look this fine? They can stare all they want to.
