THE PARLOR BEAU.
Sensible Atlanta Maidens Propose to Pun
ish Him for His Selfishness.

Sensible Atlanta Maidens Propose to Pun
ish Him for His Sclfshness.
A war has begun in Atlanta against
the parlor beaux-young men who like
to spend an agreeable evening with
young ladies at their homes, but who
never ask the young ladies to 60 to the
theater or any other place where money
is necessary. One young woman says,
with disgust, that young men spend
evenings in her parlor and tell her all
about the performances they have at
tended alone.
This is timely and wholesome war
fare. Any evening numbers of young
men may be seen at the Milwaukee
theaters alone, although they are
known to be society young men and
indefatigable parlor beaux. They 60
to the theater whenever there is any
thing worth seeing, alone, although
they are able to take young ladies.
There never was time when young
men were so Indifferent to the just
claims of young ladies. There is an
understood rule that the young man
shall make some recognition of a
courtesy at the hands of a young lady,
but if he does this, he certainly does
no more. There is no escaping the
conviction that the young man who is
constantly enjoying the society OF
young ladies, is very mean-spirited
and selfish person if he attends thea
ter alone. There are any number Of
charming young women who do not
require that young man shall 60 to
the expense of carriage. They are will
ing to 60 by street-car, or better yet to
walk, to the theater. Any young man
with the right sort of feeling, is willing
to go only half as often and to take a
young lady with him.
The Atlanta girls resent their treat
ment not because of the loss of the
theater, but because of the lack of de-
cent consideration the young men show.
1t is the Indifference to one of the
plainest rights of young women. They
propose to use the cold shoulder here
after. They do not intend that young
men shall play the role of grand mogul
and think it is enough if they smile on
the young ladies of an evening in the
parlo~ The girls are right about this.
