Lady Burdett-COutts Would Not Have
WhislSers on Her Bank Clerks.
Letters sent few years ago to a
friend in New York from an intimate
friend of the late Baroness Burdett-
Coutts, one of the greatest and most
famous philanthropists England has
ever known, say that despite her phys
ical ills she was woman of remark
able determination, and despite all
pleas and appeals she would not per-
init any one Of the many old men en-
ployed In her bank in the Strand, Lon
don-the Coutts bank it is called-to
wear hair on his face.
The sprouting of beard was tanta-
mount to dismissal. Every "clark"
had to be clean shaven, and even the
policeman on duty had to have a
smooth face. 1t was quite hardship
for some of the old fellows, past eighty,
whose hands were none too steady. for
not one of them would dream of going
to a barber to be shaved, but the baro-
ness said that as long as she lived she
would not tolerate whiskers.
