IMPORTANCE OF THE BOW.
Walking having been considered, It Is
now necessary to take mp standing still
and sitting down. To describe these ac-
complishments it Is perhaps sufficient TO
say that in standing the real swell should
look as though he would prefer to sit, and
in sitting he should convey the impression
that he would prefer to stand. If he does
this he can hardly fail to look sufficiently
! bored.
! Now comes the bow, most useful ac-
| complishment, in fact the most useful one
| in connection with culchaw and depawt-
ment. A man of real culchaw should be
| able to insult man grossly with his bow
upon occasion, and he should also be able
| to bow so that the bowee would not hesi-
tate about lending him 800 without secu-
rity. This bow is most difficult.
| All bows may be divided into two classes
the short bow without raising the hat,
which maybe either insulting or pleasing,
and the long Lord Chesterfield bow for
gels" which may convey either mere
recognition or the deepest regard. For the
short bow merely snap the head. If it is
/ intended 70 0e insulting the person TO be
| insulted should be looked at with sort Of
your-looks" stare, and then the head
should be snapped very short.
To please it should be moved slower and
with a smile This can hardly fail TO
please The long Lord Chesterfield bow is
much more lAborioHs, bat il is also much
more impressive. To accomplish it grasp
the hat firmly by the front Ct the rim;
imagine a fy about eighteen inches from

the crown Of the hat, then smile as IL in
exaltaton at havisg hit IL. and as the hat
is replseed look at the bowee for approba-
tion end appreciation Of the deIter!ty dis
played.
CARRYING STICKS, GLOVES, ETC.
Varying regard for the bowee may be IN
dicated By tie enthusiasm shown in hit
