In Delmonicos restaurant Che other day dis
cussing luncheon composed Of stuffed
crab and small bottle of Burgundy. There
Is no question about his eminence socially.
He is perhaps the most distinctly fashionable
bachelor in New York. Directly opposite
the window where he sat was big English
mail cart, perfectly groomed and nettle-
some team of bays and n small and correct
English tiger, who stood at the pole, as
though made of wax. The society man
wore closely buttoned dark coat, which
was cut away in front, a light waistcoat,
rather square toed boots, an easy looking
collar, four or five rings and an air of entire
conientment IL is impossible to imagine
anything more thoroughly tragical than his
manner of slowly consuming crab His
single glass rested i'm his eye, naturally and
without effort, and when he became fatigiei
with too much exertion with the fork, he
fell TO examining his polished finger nails
through the single glass
VERY CALM AND DISCRIMINATING.
Nearly every equipage that rolled by the
window, and there was constant stream Of
them, exhibited one or two attractive faces,
| framed in Partisan bonnetS. The faces
looked eagerly into the window and the
greater majority Of them smiled a brilliant
or cordial greeting TO the society man.
Nothing could have exceeded the calm
and discriminating manner in which he re-
| ctived the SITUATIONS. To none Of the ladies
| d he youchsafe a smile Most OF them re-
ceiyed nod that was simply and plainly
/ careless and indifferent Ii was such q moi
as an ordinary man would give a waiter who
would ask him if he would have some coffee
after dinner. Occasionally. however, he
would go 30 far as to look earnestly at
particular lady. AMI slowly bend his head
forward, while he looked at her intently.
The recipient If this particular form Of
greeting always looked gratiiied. The waiter
hovere. around him, and spoke several times
about the temperature of the wine and
asked whether the crab was ievilled enough,
hut he attracted no more attention than if
he did not exist at ALL
The society man dill not even look at him,
AMI apparently never thought Of uttering a
word. When he had finished his luncheon
he Sribbed his name carelcs,ly across the
back Of his check. tossed fee To the other

the society man fixed his glass little more
