among other things, he discarded the
scissors with which he had previously
trimmed his beard. and he was obliged
to let It grow. BY the time Fort Donel
son surrendered II was a pretty long
beard. and the artists of the pictorial
newspapers did not exaggerate its
length In the sketches that they made
OF father.
After that campaign was over. IA
Their went to st. Louis upon brief
furlough to visit mother. The minute
she saw him she objected most strenu-
ously to his long beard, and father, all
most as soon as he had heard her OBJ
lection, hunted up a barber and had
his face shaved clean. But mother.
who had grown accustomed to seeing
him with a close-cropped full beard,
objected also to his having no beard
at all. and the upshot OF the matter
was that father promised to lot his
beard grow again and to take with
him wherever he went In the war a
good pair OF scissors so that he could
himself keep his beard close cropped.
After that. all through the war, he
was accustomed about once every two
weeks to stand before a little glass
hung up on his tent pole and clip HIS
beard somewhere near to the shape
liked by mother.
Years later-either when he was
president. or little after, am not
sure which at this moment--mother
became very anxious that father
should sit for profile photograph. He
had never had profile picture taken.
All that had been made of him repre-
scented him In full face. or. possibly.
with his head slightly turned to one
side or the other.
But, said father, when mother ap.
pealed to him to sit for profile, 1t is
impossible TO take a good profile OF
anyone who is wearing a full beard.
II you want profile picture OF me.
must have my chin shaved.
Well. do that by all means. said
mother. greatly pleased over the pros
pect of securing the likeness she so
much desired.
so father called In a barber, who
shaved his chin clean and trimmed
the beard on each cheek rather close
ly, Then. a profile photograph was
taken, and soon after father permitted
his beard TO assume customary shape.
Again Gen. Fred Grant smiled In
an amused manner. IL well remem.
ber," he concluded. that at the time
Il was a mystery to many persons why
father should have started out to wear
side whiskers when his face had be-
come Familiarity known to every one
as that OF a man who wore a full
beard, close cropped, You see, they
did not know, as we OF the family did,
that in the matter of the style Of his
beard father always acceded to the
wishes Of mother"
