Future generations will have to draw on
their imagination to conceive a face cast in
the massive mold OF Savonarola, but spare
and spiritualzed into a closer brotherhood
with the other Florentine of the Diyina

large and rugged for womanly beauty, but
when the pale face was tinged with a faint
flush of tenderness or animation, when the

How the Beard should Be Cut.

Men with long, thin faces should have
round boards, if any. But if mans face
is abnormally round and fat he should
wear an imperial, . as the narrow long
variety of the Vandyke beard is called.
Oddly enough, it is the Americans who
chiefly favor this form, though their faces,
being long and narrow, need it less than
any other and would often be improved by
round, full beard, trimmed rather short.
There is one good argument against the
beard which ought to have some weight.
Itnearly always robs the head of hair. 1t
is very seldom that man can maintain a
luxuriant growth of both after the age of
40. Perhaps this may be one reason that
whenever long beasds have been worn the
hair has been cut short, and whenever the
head locks have been permitted to be long
the beard has almost entirely disappeared.
1t is a mistake for short men to wear the
beard too long. The head should be little
less than one seventh the length of the
whole body, and the capillary addition to
it's size throws it, quite out of proportion.
On a very tall map, inclined to leanness
and angularityoa long beard is almost
equally mistake unIesshe should happen
to be SO bountifnly Supplied by nature
that he can have 1t of width proportionate
to it's length and SO thick as to convey an
idea of almost superabundantf ullness. He
will probably pay for this, however, by
being very bald on the top of his head

Pin Money.

A curious custom that once prevailed in
the south more widely than in the north
was that of giving the woman whom one
invited for drive or outing small sum
with which to buy flowers, fruit or con-
fectionery to enhance the pleasure of the
event. This money, which probably varied
with the fortunes of the gallant, was
called pin money" A writer in Good
Housekeeping tells of young married
woman, now grandmother, who encoun-
tered the custom many years ago in Sara
toga, when that place was still the resort
of good southern families. She had been
invited to drive with stately old school
southern gentleman and his daughter, and
after she had accepted the invitation to
her surprise the father opened his hand
some purse and gave her silver dollar.
Puzzled at SO queer proceeding, she called
up an elderly woman who was a social
authority, who explained to her that it
was ''pin money, "a and it was decided to
invest it in bunch Of roses to carry in
the hand while driving
