Prediction That Whiskers
May Be Fad After the War

London newspapers are predicting
the full beard will come into fashion
both in Europe and America as re-
suit of the war. War always has in
fluenced the style of whlskers, OBJ
serves the Louisville Courier. even in
the time of Alexander the Great. who
required his soldiers to shave of their
boards because a beard was handle
which an enemy could seize.
The Crtmean war in the fifties
brought the full beard into fashion
again. In the campaign British SOL
dters spent months in the trenches
where they had no chance to shave.
Their boards grew and grew and they
wore them when they returned to
England.
The English papers say that many
soldiers coming home from the
trenches are bearded. and. unless pre-
cedents fail. the full beard is 60
ing to come into fashion again. Should
our American troops return from the
war with boards. we may look for that
fashion to become prevalent again in
America as 1t did after the Civil war.
