The Kaiser's Mustache.
From the London Chronicle.


The greatest news of the week is the
mere rumor that the kaiser is thinking of
changing the angle of his mustache. You
may remember the terrible time some
years ago when the kaiser grew a beard,
and thousands of photograph sellers were
threatened with ruin, until the kaiser,
appealed to, consented to abandon the
beard You could get a lot of money If
you found a photograph of the kaiser in
a beard. For he cut 1t off. and killed the
fashion. But set the fashion Of the
turned-up mustache, which has lived.
Shall it die?
To kill the fashion is pleasing art 1t
is not only matter of beard or mus
tache, but question of clothes. There
was a time when fur capes were coming
into fashion. 1t was some five and twen-
ty years ago. And then some feminine
genius bought a fur cape and placed it
