| The Latest Dude Fad.
| New York Letter to San Francisco Argonaut
| Quite number of young New Workers have
| been affected by the Baron Clevril of "a Pa
risian Romance" The character as played by
Richard Mansfield caught the fancy of the dis
| sipated youngsters who whOop it up about
town, and the effects OF it are clearly discern
able now. The actor played a dissipated old
rOue of Partisan high life with great cleverness.
1t Is an old story, but the effects are new. Now
| adays one often sees two or three young men
| drift into a cafe and let themselves down in
| their seats by punching both arms OF the chair
| exactly as the baron did; then they call the
| waiter peevishy, order their absnthe in queru-
| lous tones, and gulp it down precisely as Mans
| field did. Even the carriage of the head is fol-
| lowed, and men with their necks we'll bent for
| ward, and with hopeless faces, are encountered
| more frequently than could be wished. One
little fOp here who practised mannerisms of
this sort until he got as round,shoudered,
tremulOuS and decrepit as q man who had lived
| at lightning speed tor fifty years. is just now
much talked about. because he has come to the
emu OF his rope. He has spent an enormous for
| tune, but now that his property has been seized
| by the sheriff, he apparently feels that he has
reached the highest point of his toppery. 1t is
rather odd that any man in good health, with
fair physique, should practice carrying the
shoulders forward, his head down and his toes
turned in. wonder if the fad will spread 1t
han alanp Of
dudes a year or two ago; for the dude, though
absurd, had not the unpleasant features of the
Juvenile wrecks.
