INDICATION OF VANITY.
Through the Hair Common
Among Men.

"Why does a man always run his
hand through bis hair when he takes
his hat off?" asked an observant
man, according to the New Orleans
Times-Democrat. did you ever no
tice that man VIII invariably do this
very thing? Is it just nervous
habit? Is it vanity 1t is an old
habit. l have never known a man
who did not indulge this habit. Even
men who have no hair to run their
fingers through, men whose heads
are as bald as billiard balls, will
brush their hands over their heads
when they lift their hats. If the
men simply wanted TO smooth their
tousled hair, of course, this would
afford ample explanation Of the habit.
But why should a man who has no
hair on his head do the same thing?
II is not sufficient answer to say
that such a man may have had a
full suit of hair at one time, and that
It is simply a matter of habit CON
tracted under different conditions.
As a rule men are unconscious of the
fact. They do not know why, how
or when they run their hands over
their heads. But they all do it Just
the same. Go into a courtroom, or
at any place where men congregate,
and where it is necessary for them
to remove their hats, and watch
them. You win observe that every
man win go through the same per-
formance. It seems to be a perfect
" natural thing for them to do. Ny
own conclusion is that il is an evi-
dence of vanity. A man wants his
hair to be just so. Originally. prob
ably IL was simply a matter Of tidi-
ness. But it has grown into an act
Of vanity. The lawyer, for instance,
II he has enough hair for the pur-
pose. win want his head to have a
tousled appearance. It gives him a

reason the habit is a curious one. and
one which seems to be deep-rooted
