Men Who Wear Boards

Is the whisker sign of irrepressible
manliness, or is it merely decoration,
an ornament? Is it, to change shake
speare lightly, an excresence of
strength? An increment of valor? =?
Judicious observation and experience
lead me to think that this is far from
being the case. My bearded friends are
no braver than the shaven. Indeed
and here one goes deeper into the sub
ject-I have noticed signs of extreme
caution, of nervous withdrawal from
difficulty, of actual timidly, among
bearded men. Not always separable
from the beard, however, l have also
noticed signs of self-importance, asser-
ton, even pomposity qualities that not
only do not prelude timidly, but are apt
to arise from constitutional sense of
fear. .-AIantic.
