Where the beauty of the face con-
sists mainly in the fine formation of
the jaw and chin, a man loses by grow
ing his beard over this portion. Bet
ter wear only the moustache.
There is now and then man whose
severity or sharpness of eye is reliev-
ed by a good natured mouth-the an

the expression. Better wear only the

A small or receding chin, or a fee
bic jaw may be entirely concealed by a
beard and with great advantage to the
general physiognomy. So may the

this latter infection, and (artistically
speaking) his face, as represented to

A face which is naturally too grave
can be made to look more cheerful BY

The wearing Of the whole beard
gives, Of course, a more animal look;
which is no disadvantage if the eyes
are large and the forehead intellectual
enough to balance it. But where the
eyes are small or sensual, and the fore
head low, the general expression is
better for the smooth chin, which to
the common eye, seems always less
animal. 7 .,,s..-c AZ .e- r..s... 7s.'.. ...et

Middle aged men are apt to be sen
