gard this principle
A gentieman's hair is parted rather high
up on his head, but rarely now in the mid
die. The parting should begin at n point
just over the inner corner of the left eye
and run backward TO the crown. At this
point it has come to the exact median
line of the head From the crown the
parting extends about an inch and half
straight down the back of the head. From
the parting the hair is brushed naturally
across the forehead. IL must not be plas-
iered down, nor must it be brushed
hntastically back over the temple
u the manner much affected by
BARRIERS themselves in the small country
Downs. Particularly abominable is the
great sweep, coming down low in the mid
die of the forehead, where it is apparently
glued fast TO the skin, and then turned
sharply up i'll a wave. No man can
brush mis- hair that way and pretend to be
gentleman. 1t suggests hair oil, the use
which is the objectionable sin. ANY
sell-bred woman would prefer a man
whose hair was brushed properly, even if
be had patches on the knees of his panta-
looms, to the product of unlimited credit

AT the back the hair is cut rather short,
but this must be done cleverly, as | have
minated above, in order not to make the
back of the head look out of proportion
With the sides where the hair is long. No
weii-bred man ever allows the back of his
heck to be shaven. The clipping machine
may be used, but with the greatest discre-
