too much upon its traditions and in its

curely upon its boundless possibilities and

has superbly restored the sentiment Of

WHY MEN DYE THEIR HAIR.
Do So Chiefly to Make Employers
Think They Are Young.

Think They Are Young,
ut would surprise you," said the pro.
prletor of a barber shop with a back
room where his customers might have
their hair dyed, "1f you knew the
amount of business l do in hair Ives.
l know 1t Is the general opinion that the
only people who use hair dyes are per-
oxide blondes and M of uncertain
age, but a great many of my customers
are among quite another class of peo-
pie.
o late years there has been great
prejudice against employing old or mid
dle-aged men, and a man with gray hair
has a hard time of it finding work. Now,
there are a great many gray-haired men
who are mechanics just as good, or bet
ter, than the younger men, but are
handicapped on account of their gray
hair. These men are my best custom
ers. A mar who wants to have his hair
dyed can have a shave or a hair cut In
my barber shop and then go into the
back room and have his hair dyed with
out any one knowing anything about 1t.
People like 1t that way. When a
man wants to have his hair dyed he
doesn't want 1t known. l can tell by his
manner II he wants a hair dye. He
wears a shamefaced expression like a
man going into a pawnshop for the first
time.
"a number OF. my customers are ME-
chanics, clerks and ~bookkeepers, who
are still In the prime of life, but whose
hair has turned gray. They generally
come on Saturday night to get a shave,
and then they step into the back room
and nave their hair and sometimes their
mustaches dyed.
. course, 1t would be a dead give
away IL a mans mustache was gray
n his hair brown or black, but as in
most cases the mustache Is about TWEEN
ty years younger than the hair on the
head, 1t doesn't have to be dyed as soon.

people prefer to have me put it on, as l
can do 1t more evenly and thoroughly,
When l apply 1t 1t lasts just about II

Couldock was born In London eighty
three years ago. He was put to work
in a warehouse to begin a commercial
career when IS, but acting was more
to his liking. When 81 he made his
debut on the stage in his native city,
paying $50 for the privilege of appear
ing as Othello at a benefit. His early
experiences on the stage were accom-
panied by much hardship, but by per-
sistent work he managed to attract a
little attention and played through
England In tragic roles with some or
the prominent actors and actresses or
those days. He came to the United
States in 1S49 with Charlotte Cushman
and played with her throughout the
country. Among the roles in which he
appeared were Jacques. Macbeth, Car
dinal Wolsey, Othello and King Lear.
He was engaged at Laura Keene's
