Here is another of the weeks episodes
Of eating. y fellow felt particularly rich,
and he took Katie 10 dinner q --. well
one of the best places IN modiSh yoguc.
The dinner cane to s. "a; = nice little din
rer, you see. To pay Tor il he produced u
$50 biil-just the very same bill thGt had
come from his publishers chccque, the re-
ceipo and cushing OF which had made him
fee 50 Iicn.
Dear me, " said Katie.
In course OF time the waiter brought
back the salver heaped up with the change
in paper and silver. with i gold piece or 50.
You Amt going 10 count all thatt' said
Katie.
Business is business" said he. ITS
mere self protection 10 count it

But they DO sometimes. They count for

Whcrcat he counted. it transpired,

plate, three dollars beside, and nothing out

Not a bit Of il. They give a cashier

But. Katie, the poor fellow would have

in SO heavy mistake. Neither business
nor justice demands your pointing out the

He began 10 get mudd!ed but ne ended
By returning the excess OF money. And

When = sensible young man, who had
given a dinner TO three OF his friends in q
private room of i fashionable res aurant in
Fifth avenue, received : bill for the repdst
amounting 10 SlG0 lie paid Il with the re-
marx that he did not belong to that order
Of young suObs that enjoyed being cheated.
and should take good care to 60 elsewhere
for his banquets in the future. Speaking
CT the matter 70 some friends later, the
young man said:
"AlthoUSh that restaurant IS frst-class
in its equipment aud serves It's patrons in
the most perfect style, vet it IS not for that
reason it Is I fIvOrIJc with the very swell
young men OF the town. Galley and his
friends haunt the place because they are
charged enormous prices there for what they
are served. There Is actually L larCC element
Of rich and vulgar men in New York OF the
Galley stamp, and if they are not allowed
to pay absurdly high prices tor things they
imagine they are getting second-class
goods. You will hear young dude boast
of how he pays dollar apiece for his CT
CARS and two dollars for Bit Of duck. But
il is in those private dinners that the swell
snob revels. He goes and gives dinner
for four. six or eight people, as the case
may be. observes careleSsly TO the manager
that OF course he IS &c have carte blanche in
getting up the repast in handsome style and
thinks no more about il. The dinner 5 de-
LciOUS you may be sure. and al the guests
are delighted. Now, if the restaurant
keeper were to hand in an anywhere
lear reasonable bill, the snoo
would rather doubt the quality Of that}
dinner, 50 il is necessary TO charge him
three or four times what il IS really worth. |
He is extensively rich, and he pays the ex- |
CeSSiye bill with d great deal Of pride. He
has disposed Of two or three hundred |
dollars in one meal. and that is his idea of |
splendid living. These are the men that fix |
the prices at the -ultra-f2ShionaOle reS-au- |
rams, and if u chap comes along who isn't |
made Of money. but who might afford 10 be |
inst a little bit cheated, he is barred from |
doing the elegant in modest WY, because /
there are any number Of sno5s always |
ready TO engage the rooms ~ much |
higher rate OF robbery"
One of the very original young ladies' on
Murray Hill IS handsome creature who |
her mood methOd:cally, Just as She .
her dress. She argues that no girl |
can be altogether charming if she is for |
ever gag. serious, sentimental, sad Or play |
ful She has studied the question care
fully, and has satisfied herself that the way
10 fascinate is to continually surprise peo-
pie with fresh moods. Never let people |
know Just how they are going to find you.
In this manner you always excite curiosity |
and become something OF IN enigma to your
friends.
