AMERICAN COURTESY.


It is exceedingly gratifying to an American to
note In these preliminary days Of calm the
thorough good breeding and the true polish that
characterizes society in the season here. The re-
fnement Of courtesy has set It's gentle insignia
countenances rejecting the most fascinating
qualities Of New York hdut ton, pricked out, per-
hsps, with little Of its cynicism and worldli-
ness. Others beam with suave moderation and
gracious tranquility of Philadelphia. At one In.
slant your intellect Is stimulated by contact with
some clever Bostonian, who possibly is educated
to point beyond conceit, at the next your j3ded
enthusiasm takes brief IRE from q fresh, vivid
Chicago girl, or your pulses give q momentary
throb In response to the glance of some lovely
creature Of besh and fame from the South.
With these one may see the biase face of the
New York elegdRt, the rough-an d-resdy W estern
man, the courtly, chilavric Southern gentleman,
the selfsafacient Bostonian, with Bunker Hill
for Q chin prop; the bot.eyed Cuban, and many
another fbreign face and air. But above all the
glitter and glew, the folly and the fashion, there
Is an air Of true politeness and q gentlehood
which argues proudly that America Is destined
to develop an aristocracy replete with modesty,
refinement and grace.

Tennyson's Drama on the Stage.

A London letter says: Mr.. Tennyson's new
drama, "Queen Mary" which his London pub
fishers promise us in book form 'immediately," ID
to be brought out next winter at the Lyceum, with
Mr.. Irving and Miss Bateman (Mrs. Orowe) in
the two leading parts. Arrangements for this
purpose have already been made between Mr.,
Tennyson and Mrs. Bateman, who Is now lessee
and manager Of the theatre to which her late hus.
band gave so exceptional and honorable reputa.

scarcely say, rules, and there is no diminution Of
energy nor falling of in the remarkable success
Of which Mr.. Bateman laid the foundation.

to draw during all next month. The London thea

the following evening Miss Isabel Bateman takes

tenderness have charmed rs SO long, but as the

be put on the boards at once. Whether It sue
ceeds or iails the evening Of its first performance
is likely to draw together such house as has not
often been seen in London. Mr.. Tennyson himself
takes great interest in this (or him) novel expert
ment, and the public, which has long looked to
him the first ef living English poets, will nos
be less concerned than he in the question whether
he is to win fame as q dramatist also.

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
-.ept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair n splendid, glossy
appearance. a. A. Hayes, MD,
