The views Of BARRIERS on the general
subject of shaving may be taken as an
official expression of opinion, although
perhaps somewhat prejudiced. c. II.
Ritz Is manager of the Ritz-Carlton bar
her shop. The similarity Of his name to
part Of that of the hotel Is merely a
coincidence. He may be regarded as
representative Of the upper circles In
barberdom.
More smooth shaven men are to be
seen in this country now than in any
other, although England stands next"
he said. THE reason for this is that
American men are more practical and
businesslke than those of any other
country. They do not believe in the
freak fashion of wearing the beard or
mustaChe which are to be seen in Con-
tinental countries. more particularly
France, where oddities in the way of
wearing the hair on the face are found
which are not equalled elsewhere.

there is long distance socially and
physically, between Forty-sixth street
and Madison avenue, where the Ritz
Carlton is situated, and Fourteenth
street and Second avenue. yet there is
agreement between the two localities on
the subject of smooth shavcn faces and
the advantage of this style.
Transcribed into plain English Signor
di Napoli's views on the subject are as
follows:

they be those of women in the matter

so To speak. 1t is the fashion to wear
no mustache or beard, but in due time
those who wear no hair on checks, lip
or chin will be as few as at present are
those who are clean shaven.
"No one who is at all conversant with
the historical customs of hygone times
is unaware that hundreds. yes. thou
sands Of years ago, it was as much the
fashion for men to allow no hair to re-
main on the face as it Is in the year

1t is merely return to fashion which
existed and disappeared. again came and
departed. and continued to come and go
for ages. When people no longer change
their minds on any subject at all, then
will they retain the custom of being
smooth shaven or of wearing a beard or
mustache or both. and not until then.

sake of concealng a scar on his throat
the Emperor Hadrian wore a beard.
This fact brought the custom again into
fashion. His two immediate successors
wore boards in the character of philoso-
piers.
In the fourteenth century boards

The practice OF shaving, It has been

found that the beard afforded too good a
hold for the enemy in hattie. This Is
the cause assigned for the origin Of
shaving among the Greeks about the
time OF Alexander. In other countries
the practice was first adopted by mill

learned pursuits retained their boards
