Clean Shaver Faces Have About Had
Their Run and Men Nav
Change.

BARRIERS are seriously considering the
question whether the present custom
of men being clean shaven has not al
most had its run, says a metropolitan
paper. In the last five years one after
another of their customers with desper.
ate resolve ordered his mustache or his
beard removed, looked at himself a lit
tie foolshily in the glass after the
operation, and then went about his
business, sometimes having to intro
duce himself to old friends.
The result has been that the shaving
area of humanity has largely increased,
naturally cutting into the profits, as it
takes little longer to shave each GUS
toner. But a thing that is causing
real alarm among the thoughtful tom
serial artists is the evidence that not
few of their customers have recently
raised boards.
1t would be well if they simply let
their mustaches grow again, but the
real thing in the way of hairy faces is
to be dreaded by the trade. Of course
these must be trimmed, but that is not
like the daily shave with the daily tip.
The worst of it, according to the bar
bers, is that the doctors. who were
largely responsible for the clean-snaved
face as a matter of hygiene, have now
taken the other view and are advising
patients with weak threats to let their
boards grow.
The BARRIERS are fully aware that
men are as subject to fashions as
women, and that if the beard comes in
vogue they will be seriously affected.
