Fashion of the smooth Face.


New York Sun.
me fashion of the smooth face. which
was noticeable here first in the early
autumn, continues to Increase in popularity
and moustaches are daily sacrificed to a
lad which is not SO well adapted to every
man, as a great many men evidently think.
The style, like great many others, came
from England.
II became so much the proper thing in
england for men to appear without hair
on their faces that it was finally found
necessary to forbid the practice in tho
army as the loss of whiskers was spread
ing so rapidly that there promised to be
beardless army in short while. The fash
ION Is certainly very popular here now, aud
with nobody to forbid ii. large portion OF
New forks male population threatens soon
TO be beardless.
The habit has reached such a point that
there is no longer any apparent regard
fer what the consequences from an aesthetic
point OF view may be. Unbecomng STYLES
OF dress are unquestonably accepted when
they arc the mode. But it was usually
thought that the selection of moustache
or a smooth face was founded on a deeper
consideration of what made man look
well or the reverse. But that discrimina-
tion has been swept away now by the en-
thusiasm with which the unshaved lip has
been acclaimed as the right style. So men
are daily appearing TO their friends with
their lips suddenly bereft of the protecting
hair.
TWO well known mon parted with their
mustaches, and although each did II from
necessity, they undoubtedly helped the
fashion into popularity. John Drew remov-
ed his moustache because his role in Rose
mary required It. and Jean de Reszke got
rid Of his when he came 10 sing "Sieg-
fried" because moustache would have
been ridicnlously inappropriate to the
character. But the smooth faced craze
was well advanced before either OF these
two celebrities attracted attention to the
style.
