Summary:
Carol Kimball's Aunt, Pearl Cornet, later married to Edward A. Hopkins, had a beauty parlor, Clark's Parlors, at 17 Union Street in New London. The shop became a sort of institution honoring the original owner, Nathaniel H. Clark, long after his death. When Pearl's shop closed in 1971 she was proud to be the last place in New London to do marcels, formal rigid waves, the hair style so popular in the 1920s.
