worthy poor. As the purse Is extremely
small it would seem that the worthy poor
do not get all they deserve. Here, a few
women suspendiDg the geld lorgnettss from
the narrow chain, but these are much out Of
place. as they look too heavy for the thin,
fine links, and really only the monocle or
the tiny purse is proper.
WHAT Is A SOCIETY MAN!
Somebody wrote and asked me, ''What is
society mani Can he be compared to a
gentlemani Won't you. from your world
OF wisdom. give this useless creature some
advicep The remark is so complimentary
that vanity forces me to answer it. The So
clety man must, first of all be gentleman in
manner and speech, or the name is mis-
applied. He Is the man who knows how to
speak properly to all women, and no matter
what his own private life may be he never
says anything to young girl that will cause
her to blush, or to an older one that will
make her think less of herself, or of him.
II he talks in very free way to a woman
the chances are ten to one that she has by
word, look or action invited this freedom OF
speech, and SO she cannot complain. The
society man is the one who makes life go
smoothly, who does not ask after people
who died six months ago, who does not trot
out family skeletons, and think il funny to
induce them to make each separate bone rat
tie and cause Innocent people to suffer ago
MES. The society man should have a good
memory, a courteous manner and should
control pleasant words.
THE so-CALLED FAST YOUNG MAN,
is as far from being society man as a nee
tarine is from a green persimmon. He is
inclined to iaunt his fastness in your face.
and he should be given the liberty to exit
from every house where there are young
girls, until he has learned that good man.
ners, like icing, must cover all kinds Of cake
offered to society for its appreciation.
USES OF THE SOCIETY MAN.
The society man may be stupid, he may
be tlresome, but he is not useless; he shows
the beauty of courtesy, and he is a living
exempliication of the golden rule, always
acting to you as he wishes you to act to him,
with answering respect. The true society
man is found at his best among southern
gentlemen or the old school. his manner
may be stupid, but it is never failing in po-
likeness. His speech may seem studied, but
the words used are English and the SEN
fences are such that they give pleasure to
the listener. That type of the society man
makes women to respect themselves, men to
respect women, children to honor and obey
their parents, and servants to respect and
give proper duty to their masters. The
real society man makes civilization, and we
could not afford to loose him any more than
we could give up the flowers of spring.
like him, don't yous But then what 1 like,
and what you like. may not be the same.
