Il think someone ought TO foTmu

Suppose yon begin with the NOUS

"As a rule. l have . very higi
opinion Of the man Who wears
moastache. OF course, there ar
neodle-beAis who are pfcUdef OF theil
moustaches than q peacock IL of II
new feathers, but they are not th'
ones / endorse. and they really bTinE
The moustacbe into disEepute. Their
are few faces which are not improved
bs a carefully cultivated moustache
and / think when a moustache signi
fes anything at all it is something
creditsble. OF course, there an
moustaches that are as void of expires
sion as the moss on a dead log, and
don't meal that every moustache il
an advocate for its wearer, bat most
are. Some mems faces remind me OF
q royal Bengal tiger, and ali such are
very wise to year . mOustache, which
they usually can do. The brusque,
stiff. military moustache always adds
| dignity to its possess0r, and the man
who can wear an r gray moustsehe
should be, I think, an otjec. OF envy
to bis sex. The moustache brushed
back and up l don't like; it makes q
man look too flippant. The NOUS
tache clipped ever with the lips gives
a man a sinister air. The extrava-
!, gantiy long moustache is a sure indi-
cation of iEordipate vanity, and the
pointed moustache is an exhibition
Of pitiful weakness or painful snob-
berry. The most interesting NOUS
tache is the young mans first, and
the most delightful is the silky NOUS
tache of the young man of twenty
five"
well, that's a pretty good starter.
Tell us what you think Of the imper-
ial. or goatee, IN all its forms.
There are some faces which r
dignified by a sbapely imperial. and
some men who have worn them look
exceedingly sheeepish when they cut
them off. They look as if they had
lost some merited attribute. The
little tuft of hair On the lower lip Il
don't know what you call it, gives TO
some men a %quizzical look, and is not
q bad thing in itself, but 1 think it
generally superfuous. The mustache
and chin Ghiskers are indicative of
nothing in particular, as 1 have seen
them worn by farmers, mechanics,
and business men alike. / should
say. however, that they are a sign
the wearer did not spend his youth
in fashionable society,"
How about side whiskers:.'
Il abominate side whiskers. Show |
me a man with long, flowing side |
whiskers and l will show you q man |
with some Objectionable CHARACTERS
tics. / won't begin to lay that down |
as an lnfallible rule, tut in seven
cases out Of ten it will hold good.
The man with only a small part of
his chin shaved is generally blatant,
and unbearable. 1 don't
pretend to give psychological reasons
tor my opinion; l simply state that
as the result of my observations"
do you condemn all side whis-
mo. The mutton chop style is
worn by ONE earnest and sincere
men, and the cbsely-cropped, small,
side whiskers are an ornament to
many. Some young men and many
gentlemen are very much
improved by the short side whiskers
extend but a short way down
he cheeks"
What do you see in the style of
wearing chin whiskers, moustache,
md also small side whiskers, leaving
oily a small portion of the cheek ex-
posed?'
That style l detest the most of all.

Nothing can be said against that
