ones of the high world and On the billiard
markers at the Grand Cafe. The great
unhappiness OF all these franker and more
honest styles is that they may be initiated

traces of original thought: there is
contemplative grandeur in this type which
seems to have nothing borrowed in its
meaning or it's dress. The plate, with ex-
plantations for the barber, comes at Gin
quante centimes.
In the style of Terrier there are military
prongs and "reminiscences of the third en-
pire. 1t is for a man who likes to look
old-fashioned, yet with self-assertion. 1t
is not the present military style, especially
for young men. The military style is rep
resented by the clippers. The hair is cut
short to stubbishness without part, but
always neat and compact. In the army
they are forced to be like well-groomed
horses. The army type for young men is
the brushed up hair and short beardless
mustache, short like a bulldogs shortcut
tail, and well set back and naughty, with
the pride of principle.
These are the most modern modes of
wearing hair in Paris. A hundred eccen-
tricities and ancient favorites dispute their
vogue, but these are d Ia mode, some old,
some new. There is a style of chin that

down to match the sharp prOngs of a

humorous little half beard that sends out

But We have only time for one type more,
who, until n better name be found, must
be called the good old-fa shioned curled hair
Partisan. He is the most typical of all
Parisans and the truest and he exists in
numbers. The old-fashioned curled-hair
