Bareheaded Men.


An altruistic halter not long since
approved the habit Of going hatless on
the ground that it was good for the
hair. He argued with some force
that the large number of bald-headed
men was direct result Of wearing
hats, since air and light are necessary
FOR the growth of hair as well as
plants. However this may be, hat
less man is no longer an unusual sight,
To let the hair grow to reasonable
length and go bareheaded has been a
fad with young men borrowing hint
perhaps from the football player.
But it has been confined to summer
and the country. A hatless man in a
city street would still attract atten-
ton. All this may be changed, how
ever, if the fashion now prevalent In
London is transplanted to the United
States, as fashions originating there
are pretty sure to be. "We have no.
ticed all through this summer, says
Truth, "a great number OF hatless
men about London. wonder what
it means? But we are fervently hop
ing that the fashion Of dispensing with
headgear may lead to the cultivation
of the hair. Men wear it so very
much too short.
Here is the first note in a crusade
for beauty, and it ought to awaken a
responsive echo in many heart. The
masculine habit Of wearing the hair
close cropped is not exactly modern !
it was practiced by the Romans at
tie time of their greatest power. But
medieval chivalry and short hair
were plainly incompatible, and the
most wonderful age that modern his
tory has known-the thirteenth cen
tury, Of course, not the nineteenth
was an age of hair. In fact, when the
Puritans began to wear close-cropped
pates they were nicknamed in deris-
ion Roundheads. These circumstances
with others that might be cited, raise
the interesting question whether there
may not be a direct psychological
connection between fashions in hair
and modes of thought and action.
Would the followers Of Cromwell have
cut off the head of their king had
they not shOrn the "lOve locks from
their own headsi Would Julius
Caesar in a full-bottomed wig have
conquered the savage tribes Of Gaul2
These are questions which penetrate
to the very core of human history.

Three Methodist ministers as they
were dining together recently, talked
about short prayers. "a prayer short
as it was irreyerent," said the first,
"was offered up by a soldier before the
battle of Waterloo. 1t was this: %
God, if there be God, save my soul,
if I have a soul. THAT prayer, "
said the second minister, resembles
one composed by Bishop Atterbury in
the early part of the eighteenth CEN
tury. 1t was prayer for the soldiers
about to engage in battle, and it was
bTief and impressive. % God, 1t
ran, If, in the day Of battle, | forget
Thee, DO not Thou forget me. The
third minister, after a moment Of
thought, smiled and said: when l
was lad l one day dined with two
strange aunts They got me at the
head Of the table and bade me say
grace. wac taken sback, for / knew
no grace to say, but text popped in
to my mind. ratified it off, and az
ter it was over l realized that it was
appropriate enough. 1t was: %
Lord, open Thou our lips, and our
mouths shall show forth Thy praise. "

There is no evidence to show that any
