Rise of the MustaclIe.

1t is not many years since the man who
wore mustachc in this country was re-
gardcd as either n gambler thief or
rowdy. A distinguished instructor in
Yale College once gave rs definition of
a rowdy: "A man who wears mustache
and eats sardines."
Nor was the mustachc alone consid-
cred badge of disgrace. Many Of our
older men and women can remember
when man who permitted his beard to
grow would not be tolerated In decent
society. An artist living in New Haven
some forty years ago, Mr.. Samuel
Hooker who was a near relative of the
husband of Isabella Beecher Hooker, was
not permitted to sit at the table of dis
tinguished citizen of Eastern Connocti-
cut for that reason. A few years after
ward, however, the same citizen rejoiccd
in patriarchial beard.
The first impetus to mustache in po'
lite circles in the Eastern States was
given by physician, who declared that
shaving the upper lip tended TO weaken
the eyes, and, after experiment, many
were convinced of the assertion. -Nelo

was halted within a few yards OF her demoli-
