I LOVE this story. I didn't realize at first why I liked it so much. It's because the story is about a young lady, Bernice, who has Asperger's traits and doesn't know it. Back in the 1920s, no one had ever heard of Asperger's syndrome anyway. But the story is about how Bernice comes to grips with her own social awkwardness, and how a little social instruction from her popular cousin Marjorie changes her life, her attitude - and her hairstyle.
You can listen to the story here:

"He wondered idly whether she was a poor conversationalist because she got no attention, or got no attention because she was a poor conversationalist."
" . . . CHARITY ENVIETH NOT; CHARITY VAUNTETH NOT ITSELF, IS NOT PUFFED UP, DOTH NOT BEHAVE ITSELF UNSEEMLY, SEEKETH NOT HER OWN."
