And 70. Mrs. Darling, you have ioinet

Master David Copperfield tried hard to

me from touching it by shaving it right
away to morrow morning. You had better
make up your mind at once. "Your minG
is made up: you will shave no more !"
We shall see, MIR. Darling-we shall see.
A fine hedgehog notion this beard reform
is; but | see plainly what it all means.
The lords Of creation mean to assert
their ferocious dignity; they mean to
overawe their better halves with aunt
what aunt Dinah calls their q har :" and
they will succeed, oh yes, when they
shake their boards. Smooth chinped

never think Of calves in lions skins
how could theys say, Mr.. Darling. i,
won't do, SO you had better give it up al
once. What does Mr.. Clarke saw about
this beard insanity? Mr.. Clarke quit,
approves of the beard" He does, This
IS very like him. He approves, but catcl,
him wearing his; catch him making a
speculation of his all over the city. On.
Mr.. Darling, you are simple to let your
self be made the cat-paw by poor sneak
like Clarke: but its no use of nv speak
ing. Mr.. Darling; if your two faced
friend approves, why don't he abandon
the razor! He admits that he has no;
the requisite courage O. Oh yes, Mr..
Darling, l sec, you have the courage
You are very brave; you are to become
beard champion. wa,ring with popular
you are quite SAMPSON
By the way, that strong man was shorn
by his wife; but you, Mr.. Darling, are
quite above female influence. You will

your finger. "How can I get over the
physiological argument for the beard
the protection of the lungs 2" | know
this Mr.. Darling, people were far stronger
in the good old times when they did not
know that they had lungs. The lungs.
indeed! There's good one. Iwonder
WHAT to become of woman's lungs il
btards are needed for their protectien !
q Women who don't get husbands to pro-
test their lungs, are generally supplied by
nature with boards 2" That argument.
Dir. Darling. is very far fetched, though
there is some truth in it: but say, Mr..
Darling, you will shave at any rate for
while, until boards grow a little more
fashionable, and then | don't care how
long you let Ii grow. Suppose now, Mr..
Darling, you had baby to christen, how
could you rise up before the whole con-
like grand Turk. "1ou
could do it nicely !" Well, believe YOU
could; but think of my feelings. as the

on; you know they would have no hest

same about their greatest grandmother
Eve, for Adam wore his beard" you say
Well, Mr.. Darling, that is, no doubt.
true, but the fashions of the garden of
Eden would not exactly suit our times.
[ can tell you, NJ. Darling, if you don't
shave, you will be seeing your portrait
in Punch some of these days. THAT
would not vex you. Punch is like the
rest of us; it's anything to earn crust
with him; but he is not vicious against
the beard" Well, if he ism. | am, SO
Mr.. Darling you will shave like other
decent people, for l know this, beaid ds
may become fashionable without your

would you like to have my beard shaved
to please popular prejudice" Well, Mr..
Darling, | see you are not inclined to
listen to reason. SO you will just require.
