WHISKERS.
' to IHB EDITOR O* THS IRS3S. Sir, —When I saw your article on the above, 1 was hoping thab you would tot up tor 11s the timo that mankind might save in growing whiskers, and how such saving in timo might mean fin increase in oar primary products and the' easing of tho burden of our national debt.. Face hair, J ike the l?ea«)fk's tail, is undoubtedly a. sign of masculinity, and this being to it is taken cognisance of bv tho Ui-itish Army—the Tommy in Egypt and India is ordered to grow a moustache to impress the natives, even a smudge of boot polish being better than nothing. This clean shave fashion has < some deep meaning, no doubt, other than mere appcaoincc, liut why this desire to thwart, this sex differentiation, is a mystery. Coupled with our shorthaired women, it seems as if we arc tendiriiT away from and not-bjok to Dame Nature.—Yours, etc., PETER TROI/iVE. St. Andrew's Hill. January !\'v.
