MEN UNWILLING TO
SACRIFICE MUSTACHES.
For This Reason Mrs. Stuyvesant
Fish's Colonial Ball of August -
May BE Doomed to Failure.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.


Newport. r. l.. Aug. 9.-The rather start
ling statement has been made here that
the failure, or success of Mrs. Stuyvesant
Ffsh's colonial ball OF August % hangs up
on the mustacies of the men. Mrs. Fish
is very much surprised that some of the
men. whom she depended upon for her
fancy costume ouadrille have not entered
into the matter with characteristic en-
thusiasm. and. though the reason of their
lack of interest has possibly not wholly
dawned upon her. some of the men have
confldad in each oti er that. sooner than
part with the adornment OF their upper
lips, they would forego the pleasure of a
night at Crossways even on the occasion
of the colonial ball.
But an men do not have mustaches and
those who do not are arrayed upon the side
of Mrs Fish in an endeavor to pursuade
those who do that the mustache is out of
date any way. and might Just as well be
sacrificed first as last.
Just how the matter is coming out no one
dares conjecture 1t is a fact. however that
a Surprisingly few men have as yet decided
to wear a costume at Mrs. Ffsh's ball.
Its SO much trouble" they say. "and then
there's my mustache."
1t is probable that Mrs. Fish win soon call
a roll of her men friends who viii then
come face to face with the momentous
question. The lady or-the mustach."
