A TrnIcnl Rnchelor,s Room.

The multiplication of bachelors apart
ment houses is responsible for the bache
lor's room, which you will find nowadays
as often out of the apartment houses as in
it. The bachelors room is not hall bed
room or a three story back. 1t is Il fine
spacious apartment, which is supposed not
only to show at glance that its occupant
is a man, but to give some evidence of the
trend of his tastes. If he is artistic the
fact is expected to declare itself in the fine
virility of the choice of proof etchings he
has made-water colors are held in more
favor by women. If he is musical his fiddle
and banjo, piano and flute proclaim it.
Oftener than either, however, one sees an
arrangement like this:
Above the mantel crossed foils with q
pair of fencers' masks; upon the mantel
two pairs of boxing gloves On long,
unbrOken side, a panel of oars or paddles,
fish nets and rods with mounted deers'
heads as climaxes; upon the door a raw,
hide Navajo shield, hand painted by some
copper colored impressionist with a white.
wash brush and pot of red ochre; upon
another wall an arrangement of guns of all
nations, swords and pistols; bronze of
the Louvre gladiator; a lariat in coil; la.
crosse or tennis racket; minor trifles of
sportive hue; no pictures, except possibly
some old line engravings of hunting scenes
The effect of all this is rather confusing
at best; it becomes comical when the bache,
lor occupant is soft handed swell who
couldn't shoot barn door at ten rods and
never pulled a stroke oar in his life.--New
York Cor. Savannah News.
