How the Beerd shorId DO Out.

Men with long, thin faces should have
round boards, if any. But II a man face
is abnornally round and fat he should
wear an Imperial, " as tho narrow, long
variety Of tho Vandyke beard is called
Oddly enough, 1t is the Americans who
chiefly favor this form, though their faces
being long and narrow, need 1t less than
any other and would often be improved by
a round, full beard, trimmed rather short
There is one good argument against the
beard which ought to have some weight
1t nearly always robs the head Of hair. 1t
is very seldom that q man can maintain q
luxuriant growth of both after the ago of
40. Perhaps this may be one reason that
whenever long boards 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 O 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 man, inclined to leanness
and angularlty, long beard is almost
equally q mistake unless he should happen
to be so bountifully supplied by nature
that he can have it Of width proportionate
to its length and so thick as TO convey an
idea Of almost superabundant fullness. He
will probably pay for this, however, by
being very bald on the top Of his head

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 q small sum
with which to buy flowers, fruit or con.
fectionery to enhance the pleasure Of thc
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 enooun-
tered the custom many years ago in Sara,
toga, when that place was still tho resort
of good southern families. She had been
invited to drive with stately old school
southern gentleman and his daughter, and
after she hnd accepted tho invitation 70
her surprise tho father opened his hand
some purse and gave her a silver dollar.
Puzzled at SO queer q proceeding, she called
up an elderly woman who was a social
authority, who explained to her that 1t
was ''pin money" and 1t was decided to
invest it in bunch Of roses to carry in
the hond while driving.

While IL is an important item TO
lessen the cost OF feeding the stock
through the winter as much as pos
sible, IL Is OF no advantage TO do this
at the expense OF growth or gain.
Roughness, such as hay, straw and
fodder, is nearly always cheaper than
grain OF any kind, and in very many
cases, where good shelter Is pro-
vided, a good growthy condition can
be maintained by feeding plenty OF
roughness with little bran or ground
grain. Generally. the more comfort

needed.
