ARE MusrAcHzs ORNAMENTS
A Young Woman Writer Discoursos on
an Important Part Of Man.

A Young Woman Writer Discoursos on
an Important Part OF Man.
Why do young men take such pride
in their mustachesf 1t is, suppose, be-
cause they think a mustache is orna-
mental. Is it? Why do men have clean
shaven lips when they could grow mus
taches9 And why do men wear half a
dozen struggling hairs when they ought
to have them shaved Off Why will men
continue to spend hours every day in
training the hair on their upper lip,
when it doesn't make them look any
more handsome, when it Is annoying TO
their sweethearts by scratching their
cheeks, when it prevents cigar being
smoked more than half through, and
when it shows a horrid propensity for
getting mixed up with the food?
don't think mustaches are orna-
mental. The ideal mustache has vet
TO be invented. 1t must not draggle,
nor be used as a shield to hide ones bad
teeth, nor be fierce. And oh, it must
not be waxed or leadedl What do men
say Of women who use grease? When
you are enjoying a spoon don't you think
1t takes all the romance out Of the thing
by having a nasty, cosmeticized piece Of
hair edge its way against your lips?
And isn't it exasperating when your
lover leads his mustache and never tells
you? You go home with your face like
metropolitan extension map, and feel
very uncomfortable when father and
mothersay there have been a lot of smuts
about, for your face has got quite dirty.
No, mustaches are neither useful nor
ornamental. Were a man and capa-
BILE Of growing a most luxuriant mus
tache l would cut it off. A clean shaven
man looks much the incest. Girls like
beardless face. They are content to
know that whiskers and all the rest
could be there if they were wanted.
You see, man with mustache is
generally bit of a fop, and girls don't
like fops. If man doesn't keep it
trimmed it gets struggling and ragged;
If he does keep it trimmed then he
appears conceited. He is eternally
twisting it this way, giving it a curl
that way, stroking it and patting it, un-
Til he loses all character for manliness.
Now, clean shaven man seems to be
dignifed. Women love dignity. Why
is it they are always so fond of curates
especially high church-and actors?
Simply because they shave. Women
want in men a smooth, clear cut face
not with a great bunch of hair stuck out
under the nose. Whoever heard of the
Greeks having mustaches? Whoever
saw statue of a Greek god with a
mustache unless he were an old god and
wore a beard as well?
Mustaches are not ornamental, be-
cause they rarely suit the face, because
they are a protuberance and hide the
outline of the mouth, and because, with
p mustache, a man is frightened to
laugh as it disarranges it. Only few
women care for them. Men think all
women do That is a mistake. "a Fair
Critic" in London Tit-Bits.

An Old Rosebusb.

AS long ago as the year 800 Hides
helm is mentioned in history. In that
year we are told Louis the Pious, Char
lemagne's son and successor, made it
the seat Of the bishopric intended by his
father to be established at the neighbor-
ing town of Elze. Less than a century
before Charlemagne had brought the
heathen Saxons into subiection and
Christianity was yet new in the land.
Gunther, the first bishop, had been can
on at the cathedral at Reims. Three
years after his elevation to the new
episcopal see he consecrated the first
chapel, naming it in honor of the Virgin
Mary. The chapel is supposed to have
occupied the site under the present
cathedral, where the crypt of the new
church is built.
A pretty rosebush that now clings to
the outer wall Of the cathedral choir is
said by tradition TO have grown there
since the days Of Louis the Pious him
self. In the Twelfth century, when the
choir and crypt were being enlarged, a
protecting hollow wall was built around
the rosebush, in order that the vine
might continue to grow about the build
ing when the new wall had been COM
pleted. A bit of the old arching NAV be
seen behind the altar in the crypt. This
is the present voucher for the great age
of the rosebush, and it must be admitted
that many traditions repose upon a less
solid foundation. Architectural Record.

Eating Shoe Hash.

In London century ago it was no
uncommon practice ON the part Of the
fast men" to drink bumpers to the
health of lady out of her shoe. The
Earl Of Cork, in an amusing paper in
The Connoisseur, relates an incident of
this kind, and to carry the compliment
still further he states that the shoe was
ordered to be dressed and served up for
supper
"Ihe cook set himself seriously to
work upon it. He pulled the upper part
(Which was OF fine damask) into fine
shreds and tossed it up into ragout.
minced the sole, cut the wooden heel
into thin slices, fried them in batter and
placed them round the dish for garnish.
The company testified their affection for
the lady by eating heartily Of this ex-
quisite impromptu."
