In furthering a campaign for the
championship and protection Of chin
adornment the mayor made sug
gestion to the Rev. Basil n Kerbawy,
pastor of the st. Nicholas Greek Orth-
odox Church in Brooklyn, by which
the good father will offer himself as
bait for sticks and stones, objurga-
tions or ripe tomatoes.
TIE clergyman will be a striking
figure with his tall, shiny hat and
ruddy face almost hidden blythe
luxuriance of his black beard. 1t is
not Of such~a length, being very neat
in it's trimming, but it is SO abundant
that only mere patches Of the priests
red cheeks show above it. Softly be-
hind Father Kerbawy will tread a
sleuth ready promptly to pounce upon
the first person along the way who
SHES sticks, stones, objurgation, toma-
priest.

KerbaWy. Il have been struck fully

Is it a crime in the city of New York
to wear a beard?' No, it is not. l

How is it they take notice OF your
