Young Bachelors Expenses.
Now that the season is opening the follow
ing estimate from the Washington Star will
be interesting to society men, who will,
however, discount some of the items:
What is the cost for winter in Washington to
an ordinarily careful young bachelor? In The
first place his dancing club lakes. say $50. Then
his own club for half year Is about $50. To
live for six months at moderately expensive
boarding house in a small room Is $40 a month,
or S24O. lie smokes cigars and cigarettes, and
II he is a generous smoker this Will amount 10
about 500 SURPRISING him to be moderate
club man, his club bill Tor "suHdrles" VIII be
about SO a month, OF 500 Now for his clothes.
He may not need a new dress suit, so that can be
left out but lie will be quite certain to buy TWO
good suits md hats and shoes and various other
aGOrnmenis. OF course he must so 10 good
tailor, and these two suits Will cost Sl20. He
must have, say three pairs of shoes, and not be-
ing oEer-eNtraVagant, viii get Them for s2l.
CrdHatS, gloves, hat. shirts, collars and cuffs,
may be estimated roughly a. SlO6.
o ada up, then, gives total Of s417 for what
m y be termed luXnries, and $40 for necessary
living. OF The S4l7 The dancing club the social
club aud The club bill for ">undFies" are purely
unnecessary. The smoking, If lie only smokes
moder ately, need not cost more than $40. ard
The clothes could be bought, together with the
cfayaIS, etc, for less than 500. III lie chOse to
do II, therefor {, lie could live for $40 outside of
ms board. a winter would mol cost him more
than $3.50 How on earth does young bachelor
WHO only ges $1,000 year make two ends
NEE al The end of the year? The estimate given
above Is very moderate one aud yet the six
months OF the winter have amounted 10 S657,
without taking into account single ticket 10
theater or Il single blowout"
