Indeed a man who did not wear the badge of manhood upon his coutenance was considered effeminate.

Those were the days of immaginative. oratory, with many Yankee improvementis upon the Latin masters. ures of Cicero would occur a mixed metaphor, but wha't of it. tranced by his own voice could not be ‘bothered. And in any event only, his patriotic peers on the rostrum would notice it. In those days the bearded faces ffar outnumbered the, smmoth shavyen. Strong men conicealed their sino: / and ce all arrangements. Full cotions beneath impenetratable mass! of whiskers. Since men have discard. ed whiskers it may noted, poker Mmiaying has lost much of its zest. A politician addressing his followers wagged his whiskers as well as waved his arms. The whisker gesture ‘was very important. Oratory lost s&rething vital when fashion tabooed the beard. In those days each whisler grower was an inldividulalist. He did not ttike his whiskers. to look like any other whiskers. He was himself, He! did not wish to be an imitation of some great man with famous whisers. His His whiskers were his coat of arms, so to speak, one and indivisible with his personality. They were something for his offspring to treasure in memory long after he was dead. Many and many a child ‘mever saw the true face of his sire. And in some cases perhaps ti was just as well. We are reminded of the long and “honorable history of whiskers by the @ay by day view of the crop now growing along our streets. The var4dous types’ of facial embellishment which our resourceful young and men are slowly maturing for the Glorious’ Fourth interest us mightity. We are sympathetic with the en‘deavors of all men for such as they may fall short of the beards of re‘atively modern times and of antiquity, we are bound to admire. this resungence of the beard, even if it is f@ puny and distorted thing compared to the: magnificence of ‘Albraham and Sanita Claus, Father It is undoubtedly imipossible to rewapture the spirit of the Worty Niners without duplicating in so far as possible their whisker disguises. And these two cities, that still tread ‘tthe game stones the Argonauts trod, are determined this Fourth of July to recapture for a day or two the old spirit of our gold seeking forefathers.
