Beauty and The Beast

This is around the 1900s outside Posie's Beauty Parlor. The farmer is doing a beauty process on his mule but meanwhile, his wife is primping for something because she's bought a hat. She's having her hair done - maybe even her nails are being manicured. While he's grooming the beast, she's inside being groomed. The beauty is inside and the beauty is outside. So the title is an attempt at humor. There are a million stories in the Naked Country and this is just one of them.
