Aging as a Fine Art .

Chicago Herald. “There, you look ten years older now,” said a down-town barber yesterday, as he released a man from the meshes of a towel and yelled, “Brush!” To the customer who followed he said: “That was a young fellow who has just started in business here as a doctor. He looked too young, and to get patients he had to grow old in the barber’s chair. Can we age a man? Well, I should say so. It’s a part of our trade. .Let me take you in hancßSjtd dress your hair and beard my ’B‘bionth and you’ll look a middle aged man. It’s all in the appearance. People won’t trustfa young doctor if he looks too young, and I am adding years to the appearance of half a dozen young physicians now.”
