EVOLUTION OF THE RAZOR AND BEARD.

Ii any writer on the history of civili
cation should ever undertake to write
history of the beard, he will have
TO record the fact that a majority OF
the peoples were beardless.
just as the savages carefully remove
every bit of hair from their faces
either by shaving or by pulling the
ha1rs out by their roots, the civilized ma.
lions considered 1t the proper thing
to be beardless. The ancient Egyp-
tlans, Greeks and Romans looked with
contempt upon the barbarians, who al
lowed their hair and boards to grow
unrestrained and believed that only
perfectly smooth face was proper
and dignifed for an educated man.
only IN rare cases an Egyptian would
allow two tufts of hair to grow on
his chin, and the Greeks and Romans
were so radical in their duties on the
subject that they even had their eve
brows shaved off, considering them
supert1uous and contrary to their ideas
of beauty The Egyptians removed
the hair from their faces with the same
primitive stone knives which the KAT
tlrs of South Africa use to the present
Gay. The Greeks used sickle-shaped
knives, sometimes made of precious
metals, for the same purpose. Opn-
ions on the beard question were divd-
ed il Europe during the Middle Ages.
While peasants and men of science
kept their faces smooth, tradesmen,
soldiers and patricians considered it

Grants four children, the only one
with her when the end came was Mrs.
Sartoris. Gen. Frederick D. Grant
was in Texas, where he commands a
department of the United States army;
and Ulysses S. Grant, Jr., and Jesse
Grant were at their homes in San
Diego, Cal.
Few women whose husbands were
men of action have been so intimately
Identified with the careers of the lat
ter and have shared their experiences
to such an extent as did the woman
who united her fortunes with those
of an unknown army captain and lived
to see him the head of a nation, to
be greeted by the nations of the world
and to enjoy with him the hospitality
extended by crowned heads. Her
father was a judge-Frederick Dent,
who occupied prominent place in the
political and social circles of Missouri
at the time his daughter was born
January 20, 1926. Her brother was a
classmate at West Point of Ulysses s.
Grant and when Grant was sent to
Jefferson Barracks as lieutenant he
carried letters of Introduction to the
Dent plantation and there the roman
tic event of his life occurred. The
daughter of Judge Dent had just re-
turned from an eight years stay at
a boarding school and the young Off
Ger found it a pleasure to call often
where he could enjoy the girls COM
pany. Eventually they became en-
gagged, but before the marriage could
take place there came the war with
Mexico. When the soldier returned,
with the title of captain, earned at
Chapultepec and in other battles, the
wedding took place, August %, 1913.
Mrs. Grant was with him at Sackets
Harbor and at Detroit, and when he
went to the front during the civil war
she Joined him. She was with him
Mt Vicksburg, which she called the
generals greatest battle, and else
where she heard the cannons booming
and saw the bullets fly.
The war over and Gen. Grant in
stalled in the White House, his wife
entertained on a magnificent scale.
When her husband went on his tour
of the world she accompanied him,
and sat at the tables of Kings. EN-

when the shadows gathered about him,
when physical and financial difficulties
darkened his days, her devotion in
creased and her confidence In his abil-
1ty to weather the storm never way

home In New York and Washington.
She also spent some time in Canada,
and once visited her granddaughter,
the Countess Cantacuzene, in Europe.
The government gave her pension of
$1,000 year. All her children survive.

n matter of pride to wear fine long
boards.
During and after the Thirty Years
war, when the much criticised custom
of following fashions was transplanted
from France to Germany and other
countries, the boards were reduced to
a minimum. Only narrow strip un-
der the nose was permitted to remain,
which strangely contrasted with the
bushy rerukes which the men used to
put upon their closely shaver heads.
When the perukes went out of fash
ion the boards followed them. During
the '40's Of the last century boards
began to make their appearance again,
though at first only modestly. Grad
uaily they assumed larger proportions,
and finally, during the last 10 or more
years. there Is practically no restric-
ton in regard to boards.
