The ex-Kaiser’s birthday celebration recalls a story of his once very famous moustache, which he is said to be resuming at the expense of the beard grown in exile. It was the invention not of the War Lord himself, but of a humble Berlin barber, Herr Haby. One day during a parade the Emperor noted the peculiarly smart lip adornment of a young adjutant, and inquired the name of his hairdresser, whom, he immediately summoned to Potsdam. Herr Haby, the practitioner thus honoured, put forth all his powers to devise a moustache for the Emperor even fiercer and smarter than that he had admired, and the famous upward twist was the result.
