Length Of Hair Marked Caste.

For q long time the length of hair
was considered a mark OF caste In
France. Only members of the royal
family and princes Of the blood could
wear their hair long. Polled hair was
a sign of obedience and inferiority.
To cut the hair of prince was to de-
prive him Of his right of succession
to the throne.
Notwithstanding these facts,
Cfarlemagne liked to wear his hair
short. The name Of his son, Charles
the Bald, Indicates the style Of Golf
fure he affected. The Emperor The
ophilus was also afflicted with bare
crown and he, to shun the notoriety
of 1t, strongly urged his subjects to
cut the hair on their heads, advauc-
ing numerous, reasons, sanitary and
otherwise, for its accomplishment.
