New Barbe< shop wrinkIc,

There is at least one barber shop In
New York where they brush your
clothes with a vacuum cleaner.
Here when the customer steps out OF
the BARRIERS chair, and with his check
in one hand and reaching in his pocket
for the money with the other, advances
toward the cashiers desk, the brush
boy-a man il is here-advances on
him, not with the usual old-time whisk
broom, but with this very latest new
tangled busting apparatus, a vacuum
cleaner.
This is in appearance not unlike
somewhat wide, thn, fat paint or var
nish brush with the usual handle, but
from which the bristles had all been
pulled out. Where the bristles might
have been is the opening into which the
dust is drawn, and trailing away from
the other, what you might call the top
of the handle, is a long, small flexible
rubber tube leading TO fixed connec-
ton through which the dust is drawn
away.
The brusher uses this bristleless
brush much as he might use a paint
brush, only instead Of laying on paint
he draws out dust with ii. He runs IL
gently around the collar Of your coat
and across your shoulders and then
down your back and so on all around.
There is enough novelty in the opera
tion to make even men of mature years
