man in New York. For the beneht OF
young men who may desire few hints |
on the art Of dressing, it may be inter

gray sack coat and trousers. bis vest
was cut high. A dark four-in-hand
tie encircled his neck. His collar was
one of the ld-fashioned turnover sort.
His overcoat was of black, striped
diagonal. 1t fitted like glove. A
shiny silk hat rested on his luxuriant
black hair. He wore patent leather
shoes and dark brown overgalters. a
big bunch of violets nestled in the
buttonhole OF his overcoat. His hands
were covered with dark, heavily-stitched
gloves, and in his right hand ne swung

HOW MANTELL IS woRsHIPPED.
No actor oa the American stage re-
ceiyes so much attention from the fai
sex as Robert B. Msntell. Scores o
| letters come to him daily from girls
| and women of all stations in life. All
sorts of plots and plans are made to
secure a nod of recognition and word
from him on the streets. Since the
DAYS of Montague, of whom 1t was re-
lated that he received on an average
fiftv letters a day from his admirers, no
actor has made such havoc among
female hearts as has Mante]l. Kyrle
Bellew, who has recently been chased
all over the country by eccentric MISS
Coffin, presses Mantell very hard Tor
first place, but the methods of the two
men in this respect ara entirely dlnerent'
One seeks such notoriety and the other
does not, one likes it and the other does
