For long time the "masher," OF
professional pretty man, who amb!es
about the streets on sunshiny days,
posing in conspicuous places and
ogliug ladies' returning from the mat
inees, has been tile pet aversion Of the
police authorities in. large cities.
Sometimes he is a wei, dressed gam
bier. often he is a Young man who has
inherited some money from frugal
father, but most generally he is an
el'lery person in COOL state Of pre-
servatiun, with fixed income and a
tendency to badness When the man
in his dotage goes into the business
Of public heart breaking, and begin,
to haunt the matinees, lie is as much
an object Of conmiseration as blind
heggar with n placard and tin cup
Nevertheless, lie is nuisance. The
police have been puzzled to discrimi
nate between the airy mashcr in goot
clothes, and common. vulgar ldafcr
The Chicago authorities lave intIuct
