 when Yvette Guilhert was here last she said that to sit in New York street car was to face . row of tnr- nips. This was her upnattering view of the looks. of American men, who are as n rule less addicated to mus taches than any other race. Would she now be impelied to make that com ment? There are reports that mus taches are to be the style and that the smooth faced men are to grow fewer in number Certain young mill lionaires who are conspicious enough to make fashions are said to have be- gun to grow mustaches.
 That is the usual fall report, said one of the barbers who looks after many men of fashion at an uptown ho- tel. T have seen no increase Tn tne number of my customers who wear mustaches.
 "This talk is easy enough to explain. Seven out of every ten Americans who 20 to Europe for the summer come home wearing mustaches. over there smooth fsced men are consPicipus. ex-. cept In England. It is therefore the style that Americans avoid, For they do not want to be put down as Amer jeans immediately on account of this national peculiarity. Nearly all the young New Workers of wealth who spend half or more of every year In Europe sport mustaches. The rest still prefer to go smooth faced.
 "Tne crop of fall mustaches is also large because the men who go 70 Europe like to be free for while from the necessity of shaving, and to re- lease even the upper lip from that necessity is a relief Then some of the men who go away for vacation feel like turninfg out a rnustache for a lark
 "The first cold days of winter nip these sprouting growths and by the middle of winter the crop has disap- peared. have known travellers re- turning from Europe to get rid of this facial ornament on the steamer com ing home"
 While the reports as to the mustache may be wrong, there is without doubt one decided change in mans fashions the mode of brushing the hair. It does not often happen that men change the style of wearing their hair.
 For the last ten years men have fol- |. lowed a mode that has in a way sug- gested the portraits of century ago. notably some of the Stuart pictures of George Washington. The hair is brushed back from the brow and then COIl06Q up OIl. ~ stands out an inch from the side of the head. This method of dressing the hair requires, of course, that the part shall be on the side Usually it Is the right side, as few men are able to part the hair on the left side without la borious training.
 Now, there should be no pun visible on the sides of the head." the accom- plish ed eoiffeur already quoted told The Sun reporter.., 'The hair Is brush ed straight back from the brow on the top as well as on the sides of the head
 ''If there is a part of any kind 1t will probably be found on the right sides but the part is not indispensable. Many men make no part at all The most modish way of wearing the hair is to brush it straight back from the face with no suggestion of parting"
 This is in a way a revival of the old pompadour. which was thought to impart an especially intellectual and thoughtful look ti its wearers. The new style diners from the old in one important respect Where the hair formerly stood up like shaving brush it now Hes close to the head. Men with stiff hair that will not He down of it's own accord must use some means of making 1t.
 so many mems modes do nowadays, said this authority, and is dlrect descendant Of the exaB8erateo tootpdli hair of recent years The present fashion requires no such care and preparation as the last style before it did, but 1t is vastly more dandifed than the football mop ever was. Men who find It necessary to use something on their hair in order to make 1t lie flat should wet the hair throughly once a day and then brush | it. It will be found that 1t will lie flat all day always advise my. customers against the use of oil or any kind of grease.
 "Fo acquire this new style of wearing the hair 1t is not necessary to have it cut in any parttcular way. Any good cut will produce the result. But it may take several weeks before the hair will lie down as 1t should"
 Men with coarse, curly hair are much others. Men with fine silky hair may have the satisfaction of being artsto- cratic. but their heads do not lend themselves to successful rough and ready treatment.
 The preponderance of the pompa- dour, however. has not served to make long hair in the least degree modfsh. The hair must be of certain length to wear 1t in the new style. It must | be cut close to the neck behind and not notieeably long on the sides. | Nothing is further removed iron
