To the natural request for an eApla-

The first principles OF drawing are

lines and curves occur in everything.

aud by studying them our men could
improve their appearance. The most
elementary expedient is to adapt the

face, and | must here tell you that
lines IN technical language include
both straights and curves. Such an ex-

a small pointed beard and mustache
with ends pointing slightly upward.
The exact opposite is also frequently
met with. y man with features that
have a distinct upward tendency will
wear q mustache with ends that are
turned up and so long that they seem
to be thinking of joining the eyebrows.
Men with mustaches that display an
inclination 10 grow long ends think that
these ends should be permitted to grow
and that they must be trained upward.
That strikes them as the only proper
way. But to suit the lines of the face
those ends should in many cases be
cut off. aud in others they ought TO be
trained downward.
''Whiskers, again, are allowed to
grow whether they suit the face or not.
Often fine, vigorous, manly face is
contradicted by an insipid little mus
tache worn over a firm, clear cut
mouth, the expression Of which it does
much to alter. 1t is quite pity TO see
such fine lines spoilt in that way. The
wearer cultiyates the hirsute append

men to have a mustache. You talk
