A

wishes. A beard is
sonality as is the style of dress one affects.
A beatnik type beard is, as often as not, a
form of social protest; rebellion against the
clean-shaven, conforming majority.
A long, full beard, combed but scraggly, often
is the badge of a man who glories in the pioneer
tradition, and seeks lo identify with it.

defirs rational analysis, unless il is simply a trade

The llreeks frequently were bearded: the
