| Lutie Story.
-0ne OF my customers has Just come back
| from Europe" said the learned French bar
Der. "and he has been telling me about q
| woman barbor he met In Italy Monsieur
| he said to me. I shall never forget her. be-
| lisve you are q good barber. and have the
| right idea OF your mission. but. really. you
cannot hold candle to her. tell you. she is
divine. When she put the lather on my face
| had my beard on then. you know-it was rs
| though my face had been bnthed In nectar.
When che drew the razor across my cheek I
| was thrilled with delight And when she put
on the bay rum and ran her fingers through
my hnir. ah. then. monsieur. 1 realized what
1t is to be caressed by an ANGEL Unfortu-
nately. she had q big brother. who watched
her carefully. and SO had little chance to
talk to her. She was light and graceful as n
eazelle and absolutely beautiful Her clear
olive complexion. dark hair. and perfect
features won me at a glance. 1 haven't Rot
over her fascination yet. II could have her
for barber always I'd have my hair dressed
every other hour
II looked at him in pity. Monsieur said
to him. 1 can easily understand your devotion
to this beauty. but do not mistake your love
for the woman for your devotion to the artistic.
II were her rival for your affections 1 would
strongly urge you to continue to patronize her
barber chair. There would be no surer way OF
Disseminating you and making you learn to
hate her.
"'What do you mean p he asked me.
~ mean. Monsieur replied. that. with all
due respect for your divinity. there never was
q good woman barber. and it Is my firm con-
yiction there never will be. Why2 Monsieur.

What told him Is true. There are women
who can shave fairly well. but there is none
You may say there are few men who can DO so.
But. Monsieur. there are some men who rise
70 the occasion; while there are no women
the barber. the painter. the sculptor. They
cannot do that undetinable something which
gives style. force. and character to the hair
to acknowledge their inability to dc anything
that man can dc. recognize this. Else. why do
to to- cut the. bangs and dress the hair OF the
customers? And what q difference there is
hair is dressed By the men BARRIERS and that Of
the women who give them selves over to wo-
men barbersl Let US not dwell upon this un-
