AMERICAN BARBERS. fhe Awful Roast They Get From ae Husglish Dramatic Cri.

Take the harmless, necessary operations of shaving, says William Archer, in a let- ter to the New York Times. In a good English barber's shop it is a brief and not unpleasant process. Im an Americano “tonsorial parlor” it is a lingering and costly torture. One of the many reasons which lead me to regard the Americans as a leisurely people, rather than a nation of hustlers, is the patience with which they submit to the long drawn tyranny

of the barber. In England one grudges five minutes for a shave, and one pays ‘rom 4d te Gd. In America one can hard

y escape in 25 minutes, and one pays (with the executioner’s tir) from a shil- ling to 15d. The charge would be by ne means excessive if one enjoyed all the endless processes to which one is sub jected, but for my part I would willingly pay double to escape them.

Che essential portion of the business, the actual shaving. is, as a rule, badly performed, with a heavy band and with a good deal of needless pawing about of the patient’s head. But when the shave is over the horrers are only beginning. First your face is cooked for several min- utes in relays of towels steeped in boiliag water, then a whole series of essences is rubbed into it. generally with the tortur- er’s naked hand. "The sequence of taese essences varies in different pariors, but one especially loathsome brew, known as “witch bazel,” is everywhere inevitabr-.

Then your wounds have te be elabo rately doctored with stinging chemicals: your hair, which has been hoprlessly tov sled in the pawing process, has to be drenched in some sickly smelling oil anc prushed: your mustache has to be lubri eated and combed, and at last you escap ; he tormentor’s clutches, irritat:

Some of you who think you are well up in spelling just to try to spell the words in this little sentence:

“Tt Is agreeable to witness the un- paralleled ecstasy of two harassed ped- dlers endeavoring to gauge the symme- try of two peeled pears.”

Read it over to your friends and see how many of them can spell every word correctly. The sentence contains many of the real puzzlers of the spell- ing book.
