THE YOUNG MAN OF TO-DAY.
His Para phernalia More Interesting
Than the Toilet of the Co Quette.

lis MORE interesting
Than the Toilet of the Co quette.
NJ E. W. in the Providence Journal
Pleasant is the path of the young man in
these days. He is at premium. If youth
be well bred, we'll dressed and moderately
agreeable. his life is a bed of roses. Petted
courted, feted. he may make round OF
visits at the best country houses. dine out
every night, bask in the smiles of maneu-
veriug mammas and their exquisite daugh-
| ters, and co nothing in the world but re-
| ceive these favors with bored nonchalance
| and utter platitude in stained-glass atti
| tudes. He is lily of the field and neither
tolls nor spins. Aud Solomon in all his
glory could not hold a candle to one of
| these.
Why. did you ever have chance to peep
into the apartments of one of these rare
exotics of the century! His valet, for he
always has ore, may be induced by suffi-
Gent bribery to allow you to penetrate its
mysteries There you may gaze upon his
| fopperles of silver-mounted dressing case,
luxurious bath, wraps and dressing gowns,
his silken pajamas, bis embroidered hose of
every hue under the sun, his vanished
boots on forests of trees, his ninety pair of
| trousers, that number being absolutely re-
quired to carry him through the exigencies
| of fashionable existence; his waistcoats,
| embossed, gllded, artistic, his coats and
| jackets, from the fannels of morning to the
tailless dinner coat he dons at night; his
piles Of rainbow-colored neckties, his
| innumerable mats, the shining Piccadilly
tile cheek by jowl on the shelf
with the soft yellow silken nondescript lie
wears on the polo field, and his jewel cases
| filed with the rings that adorn his delicate
| hands, the studs that glitter on his immacu-
! late expanse of shirt bosom In the evening,
and the Jeweled pins that hold his cravat in
place. Far more interesting than any
| coquettes toilet are the paraphernalia and
intricacies of his, and when he sallies forth
| to sun himself upon the casino balcony in a
| dolce far niellte, he is sight to bring tie IRIS
| into the ewes of the thoughtful beholder.
| Only in Newport is this choice production
| to be seen at the height of his glory, and
not even madame's Partisan elegancies OF
| attire can compete with the interest that he
arouses in the soul of the wandering excur-
| sionist from Tombstone, Ariz., who has
never gazed on his like before.
| One of these dandies, in yellow fiannels,
striped with white, with white shoes upon
| his slender feet, yellow sash of surah silk
| folded about his maHly waist, a primrose
Grape necktie with single huge pearl repos-
| ing in its delicate folds, boutonniere of one
pale Marechal Neil rose and spray of maid
enhair, a white Alpine hat on his blonde
and hyacinthine locks, sauntered slowly
| down the avenue on sunny noontlde last
week, with an expression Of delicious ennui
in his aristocratic features. Opposite James
! Gordon Benefits stone villa he came facs to
| face with young fellow of about his own
age. dressed in an ill-ftting suit of pepper
and salt homespun; battered Derby hat
was perched back from good-natured sun
burnt face. and his clumsy square-toed
shoes had evidently known little of the
backing brush's tender care. But he was
| the very personi1cation of alertness and
vigor, and pi esented such an amusing con-
trast to the listless figure of the youth
whom he encountered that the latter, not
such fool as he looked, could not help the
| ghost of smile at the meeting.
But the country lad turned and stared
| open-mouthed at the ecstatic vision lounging
by. Then he looked down at himself with a
long deprecating sigh and the iron entered
into his soul. With a sinking sense of his
own unworthiness he went back to his
western wilds, feeling acutely the great gulf
fate had fixed between him and the primrose
fiannels, and struggling to formulate his
dim recognition of that great new truth of
the time that "a well-dressed mans the
noblest work of God" All, yes! AS an eye
opener Newport has advantages not equaled
by any other watering place.
