BERLIN'S BEST DRESSERS
HAVE AMERICAN FASHIONS
Clean Shaved Faces Arc the Rule,
Ever "Kaiser's Moustache" Giving
Way to Gcrmany's New Fad.

Berlin, Feb. 23.-What is known as
the american sport face" Is all the
rage these days among the youn.
men of Berlin. AS a consequence of
the fad, whiskcrs and even the "kais-
er moustache," SO popular prior to
the war, has been pushed off the
boards.
Many young Germans wear a kind
Of natty Charley Chaplin" adorn-
ment upon their uppel lip. and this
IL known as American too, but the
majority of the fashionably dressed
young men in the streets and cafes
are smooth shaver. Many of them,
so the BARRIERS say, shave the first
thing in the morning and again late
in the day, before starting out for
the evening.
Among the workingmen and GER
tain old timers still in the army or
government service, modified "kais-
er's moustache" continues to be
worn. There was time here when
nearly all of the old rank officers
wore upright moustaches with care
fully waxed ends which reached
nearly to their eyes. But the nous
tache of the militaristic points. in
which the individual took marvellous
pride, is entirely out of date.
Whiskers. generally speaking, are
excepting in old-fashioned
circles where some of the aged men
continue to wear boards, sip beer
daily in their favorite haunts OF
many years. and smoke the long |
"Dutchman's" pipe which |
years ago was all the go among Ger
mans in the United States.
