Whiskers are going out Of style again.
and in the future clean shaven faces Will
only. be popular. A New York barber
says: "For two years every man who
could raise mustache and Whiskers did
30, because it was all the rage. Now it's
the proper thing to do to shave every bit
Of hair from the face and let the hair i.ow
long, and fall over the collar If you train it
to do. so. Full faces are not going to be
| fashionable in the future, and professional
massneses are doing prosperous business
in training the skin and flesh on the face
to look fabby and peaked. The subject
is to look as intellectual as possible, and
with hatchet face, the hair brushed back
from the forehead and falling over tho
coat collar, the effect desired Is obtained. +"
