THE BOBBED
Boards
By John p. Medbury.

A. SOtAAA = AN1SN~A y
HORT hair has proved to be
- such a comfort to women
~ that a lot Of old men are
now having their boards bobbed.
One old man who is in his
second childhood feels so much
like a boy that he wears his
whiskers Dutch cut"
He uses hairnet on his chin.
Another old fellow always puts
his mustache in curriers' before he
goes TO bed.
He went into barber shop the
other day and they spent two
hours and a half digging the hair
pins out Of his Van Dyke.
It's nothing nowadays to see
some seventy.five.year-old bird
having his goatee hennaed.
It looks fine on the street, but
the minute he gets 1t in his cot.
Zee the color begins to run.
Henna is all right on a beard.
providing you can keep your chin
out Of the soup.
This is one reason that a lot
Of old men always drink clam
chowder through a straw
II you can afford it, it's best to
have a detachable beard so you
can take it off while you're eat
ing.
ANY restaurant will be glad to
check 1t along with your hat and
coat.
OF course boards are apt to get
mixed up. You're liable to go
In with a set Of gray whiskers and
come out with pair Of red ones.
No man likes to lose a brand
new whisker that ne just paid
fifteen dollars to have permanent
waved.
Besides, another fellows goatee
may be too small for your chin.
You don't want it SO loose that
Il will flop up and down every
time breeze hits it,
These things have to fit you.
It's hard to tighten them
You don't go into a beauty par
l0r and ask them to take up on
your mustache.
No matter how much your beard
pdnches you, it's impossible to let
It out any.
The only relief is that as you
get older your face shrinks away
from it.
Any man you see with whiskers
down to his knees would love to
have them bodied If it weren't
for facing his mother and father
after he had 1t done.
