THE MOUSTACHE “AGAIN.
WHO SETS THE FASHION AND "WHY.
Men are wearing moustaches again, | nccording to a writer in the Arening News. The fashion bus come round once more, and the clean.shaven upper lip is no longer suprents in the affections of the birsute male,
So we are told, and various explana- |tions are offered for the phenomenon." Ad American writer ascribes it to the fact that Viscount Lascelics' wears" a moustache. But then Americans always have exay- gerated ideas of the effects of British loyalty.
"Our loyalty is a thing we're proud of, but it dosen't lead us into slavish imitation
of that kind.
The King has worn a beard for ten years or thore, but there has been very little doing in, the beard business among his subjects during that time.
Another explanation is that all the men prominently before the public just now weur. moustaches-Mr. Lloyd George, Mr. Pal- four, Michael Collins, M. Briad. But then they always have. Mr. Tlovil George's moustache has been familiar to the public ever since he first became the joy of the caricaturists, but no one thought of supping it apparently.
No these variations of fashion in man's hiraite adorament come, in great waves that take twenty years to rise and re- code, and they seem to correspond to fluctuations in the popular mental state.
DAZZLING THE WOMEN.
Seventy years ago beards and sile, whiskers were in greatest favour. This was the era when men pose before their womenkind--for of course, it goes without saying that ill men's lornment is for the purpose of impassing womans creatures of partiarchal strength and wisdom, lorda of the earth and the women and the beasts thereof, in virtue of their masculinity-best expressed by the herd that no woman could accomplish.
Then came a long per 1 when the chin and cheeks were shivel, but fine flowing moustaches were favoured. Men lu become more gulluant. Thay were out to dazzle their women with their brilliance rather than overawe them with brute strength. And what more effective for this purpose than the dashing cavalry. moustache? This was the military era.
At the beginning of this century, how- ever, after the Boer War, men turned from the military ileal to the intellectual. Women had developed brains. The soldier was no longer irresistible—especially in times of peace. The man who had written novel RTLS iL greater idol than a soldier who had not fought a battle. The intellectual face of the thinker, the actor, the artist, the man of brains, became the ideal and moustaches fell before the razor like ripe corn before the sickle in August.
LL
During the late war a curious phase in the struggle between the intellectual and the military modes was seen in the tooth- brush" moustache affected by young officers It was commonly thought this was worn i imitation of Charlie Chaplin, but it was not It was the intellectual man parimally. succumbing to military smartness.
And now the moustache is returning. Who shall foretell what this presages ? Can it be that another wave of militarism is upon us?

Official reports indicate that there is a great deal more lawlessness in the United States than previously and much less effort to "get religion." In Brooklyn March 26th Dr. Dwight Hillis, a lending American pastor, who preaches from Henry Ward Beecher's old pulpit, deplored publicly the Latest census returns, which show that America is ninongst the most illiterate of all civilised, countrida. Lawlessness is rampant all over the country, and London, with its handful of murders per year, seemed like a veritable kingdoin of love compared with New York, with a murder almost every day. Simultaneously with the indictment by Dr. Hillis, Dr. William Guthrie, puster of a church on New York'a cast side, is lament- ing the necessity of new methods to attract. worshippers, Dr. Guthrie's contribution to popularising church worship was the in- troduction that night of what he described as" "eurythmic ritual," symbolising the Antunciation of the Virgin. The sanctuary was hidden by a curtain, and after a bymn to the Virgin girls divord in the chancel in the glow of blue spotlights from reflectors in the balcony, which played on them as they moved. The dimly-lighted church was The Committee of Judges and Benchers fragrant with incense which burned on each of the Inns of Court who have been con side of the altar. Dr. Guthrie believes that sidering what would be the appropriate" beauty may teach the path towards God, robes for women to wear in Court after and declared that "if we cannot make the their call to the Bar have expressed a dance the pathway to heaven, it will be the wish" that the dress of women barristers pathway to hell."
