Of" he remarked, sis in poorer taste,
and nothing tends SO much to make the
scions of great American houses the
butt of ridicule in the daily and the
weekly illustrated press. Most men
about town are above this Those who
are not, and they are numerous, deserve
all the opprobrium heaped on them by
the newspapers"
The second bad habit of even the bet
ter class of society men is that of staring
at ladies from in front of fashionable
hotel. The real man of fashion," said
Mr. McAllister, and in this case his re-
mark ought to go down the ages as
pithy apothegm, looks ahead of him
when he walks" On these two points
it is, perhaps, worth while to talk lit
tie more in detail, for the society man
is in need of the lesson.
II have watched the son of one of the
richest men of New York, who lives
not stones throw from the corner of
Thirty fifth street and Fifth avenue"
said lady to me, 'stand at certain
corner daily waiting for pretty stenog-
rapher who does some work in the
neighborhood to pass by. He follows
her with his eyes as she comes toward
him, and then trails along after the
young lady, at times walking brislily
ahead of her, and then again dropping
back.
He has even dared to talk with her,
but the rebuff he met with cured him
for n time. ! missed him for a week,
but day or two since saw him at his
old habit again.
1--WE dread to pass hotels or club
houses" said the same young lady, "for
we are invariably the cynosure of as
many eyes as can comfortably focus
themselves from available club win
dows. And at the Fifth Avenue hotel
we are as a rule forced to pass an army
of ogling men. On n rainy day this is
particularly disagreeable.'
1t is perhaps we'll to let this young
lady air her grievance in this Man of
Fashion letter for her own words are
certain to strike home.
So before going on and giving you n
few pointers on how to behave on the
streets, let me summarize what I have
said on show not to behave"
Don't stand at your club windows and
stare.
Don't stand in front of your hotel and
ogle.
Don't try to catch q glimpse of a
lady's ankle.
When you pass a lady don't stare at
her as She is coming toward you, and

point to leave u lady tho moment she
has reached her Immediate destination.
The man of fashion need hardly be
told that tho lady must always nod n
recognition if she is walking or driving
along, and no gentleman will presume
to renew an acquaintance of single
evening unless the lady shows decided
inclination that way. Nor is it for you
to fatllom the young lady's mind by n
determined stare. You destroy all
hopes you may have of future pleasant
chats by too forward conduct when
you meet the young lady in question
out for her drive, or ride or walk
The subject of s;ilutation deserves more
than II passing notice. You may think
you know all about it, but you don't.
If alone and YOU meet lady who has
recognized you, carry the hat quickly
as low us the hip with the hand farth-
est removed from her, then replace it
slowly. Accompany the action with a
Slight forward inclination of the body
and IL smile of recognition. This is the
proper way, but if it seems too cavalier
like for you, n less sweeping dof of the
hat is permissible. If alone, and you
meet n male acquaintance, merely nod.
In Germany anc France it is the style
to raise the hat, but not in America.
When you are cscorting lady and you
bow with her to Il third person, cut
your own salute short. Your compan-
ion will wish, in Der feminine vanity,
to monopolizc the third PERSONS gaze,
and she will feel piqucd if you share
too much of it.
Despite the growing Discrimination of
business men to remove the hat when
riding in the elevator with ladies, the
man of fashion will never fail to show
that slight courte sy, as he will never
forget to bare his head in the private
corridors of hotel or IL thcater
OF all the errors into which the vo-
tarics of fashion lapse none shows the
lack of true gcntility to such an extent
as the cut" | mean the reception of
a salute with stony stare. A man is
never hurt by acknowledging acquaint-
anccship with any but men of low
and dcbascd character.
James q. Blaine when once asked
what he believed the secret of his pop
ularity with the masses was said: II once
read that George Washington would
not let the humblest negro outdo him
in politeness, and that is why he took
pains to return every salute made him.
That is the style believe in"

bow with the slightest possible show of
Indifference.
Never carry walking stick in the
evening If you carry it in the day

the middle. defer in great many
things to Mr.. McAllistcr, but on this
point he, too, needs n bit of advice. l
saw him walking down Fifth avenue
the other day, every inch the man of
fashion with the exception of the man

he held in the middle, and it seemed as
though he wanted to guard himself

above all things never look back to get
last glimpse of her form.
When you meet n lady of your nc
quaintancc, unless she be very intimate,
only take off your hat and bow. 1t is
not en- reale To stop in the street to chat
with lady. fly you are very well nc
quaintcd and the lady shows desire to
discuss some matter with you, walk her
way.
If the lady happens to be shopping do
not accompany her into any place of

discussing is of great Importance AID

short Oh some pretense or other and

from the too near approach of anybody
in front or rear. So do not attempt
any drum-major contortions, as they
will only make You appear ridiculous.
Some one has recently written that
canes are no longer in style. That is
not SO. Watch the ten best dressers
you can think of in New York as they
walk along Broadway or Fifth avenue
and you will find that the cane is part
of their makeup.
In walking keep to the right of the
walk and never pass in front of n lady
coming at right angles at n street cor
ner, unless about six feet intervene.
Walk sharply; do not lounge.
Except for lady do not carry a par
eel on the street. If necessity compels
you to carry something put it into one
of the latest style fashionable hand
satchels.
If walking with n lady and her step
is too short for yon use what Tom
Howard calls the Newport drag step"
and avoid that awful scc-saw appear
ance. Never lock arms in the daytime
with n lady unless she be elderly or an
invalid.

the other day and he detailed a few of
his peculiarities when ont for walk
and while meeting the thousands who
know him in New York.
I'm the first place, consider smoh-
ing in the street Objectionable, for
there are moro suitable places for it
and it invariably makes man look n
trifle tough. There arc smoking rooms
in the hotels, in the homes and in the
clubs where the man of fashion can en-
| Joy that little pleasure all to himself or
in the company of few congcnial
souls.
81 believe furthermore that the most
fashionably dressed man is lie whose
dress attracts absolutely no attention
That in my opinion should be the aim
( of the man of fashion. lie should dress,
he should walk, in short, he should act
/ without that annoying self conscious
ness that makes some men think only
and all the time of the impression they
are making. He is most in style upon
whose dress and manners the least
number of eyes arc focused"

idea what brought on the disease eX-
cept that it is barely possible that the
appendix had wound itself around one of
the more useful intestines and had
caused partial strangulation, which
resulted afterward in acute inflamma-
ton. 1t is also possible that grape
seed lodged in this useless part at that
time and caused the inflammation, but
the operation performed by DIR. Bull

that point. l have had fourteen attacks

me. Every physician whom consulted
abroad told me That the thickness of
the abdominal wal. would make an
operation almost certainly fatal. But

Have you ever thought that you have
a vermiform appendix, and that if you
Rre not careful it will be the death of
you? Almost every week it brings
some new victims to the surgeons
table. That is because We have lost
all our respect for this useless organ,
and the moment it begins to make
trouble we have it cut out. Formerly
men suffered and died without know
ing just what afflicted them. Now,
thanks to the nerve and skill of Ameri-
can surgeons. the vermiform appendix
rarely kills its possessor
went to see DIR. Bull Immediately
after his successful operation upon
Capt. Rose, of the British army, son
of the late Sir John Rose.
This man, Bull, is one of the greatest
surgeons living to-day, but he is still q
young man. He is handsome fellow,
tall and rather stout, with blue eyes
and heavy mustache. He doesn't like
to talk about himself or his work.
1.-Two thousand books have been
written about this little intestine" said
he. 1T is, so far as we can discover,
absolutely useless. Darwin claimed
that it's existence in the body was one
proof that we are the evoluted result of
ape development. On this point scien-
lists hesitate to agree with him. The
appendix varies in length from two to
six inches, and is about the diameter of
a goose quill. 1t is hollow throughout
its entire length, and the unattached
extremely is blunt. 1t has been known
to adhere to the liver, and to complete
" destroy the functional capacity of
that part In many cases it becomes
knotted about the intestines, causing
strangulation. 1t is this little hollow
tube of skin into which orange, date,
prune, grape and rasin pits are liable to
drop. In fact, children have been

Physicians have been unable to at
tribute any function to the appendix.
1t is found in man and a few apes about
as pictured here, while in rodents it
has been known to develop to size ex-
ceeding that of the stomach of the ami
NAL. But in these cases it is always
known as glandular organ and has a
definite function. In rodents also the
valve which separates the cncum, one
OF the larger intestines, from the APP
pendiX is we'll developed and works
with the regularity of all vitals. In
man this valve is undevclopcd and is
given the name merely because it has
resemblance to such a part
When it is diseased the only escape
for the patient from death is by the
operation which was performed on Capt.
Rose.
The operation lasted little over two
hours, and the captain was kept under
ether all the time. Assisting DIR. Bull
in the operation were Drs. Francis A.
Kinnicutt, McBurney and all the other
consulting surgeons of st. Luke's hos
pital. When the first cut was made it
yas found the knife would have to go
through thickness of almost four
inches, and would possibly have to
pass under the c@cum, as the appendix
was found almost Embedded and bent
into the large intestine. 1t was at this
3uncture that one of the physicians in
attendance advised giving up the case
at once, as an incision into the larger
intestine would undoubtedly prove IA
tai. With an undauntcd courage the
young surgeon kept on. The EARRING

successful. The operation performed
on Lyman Gage, the Chicago banker, by
DIR. McBurncy was not considered an
extremely dangerous one, as the ply
siquc of the Chicago financier gave
easy access to the diseased part.
In the case of Chancellor Pitncy, who
was performed upon late in jan
nary, there was more difficulty and dam
ger. In this case the vermiform appcn-
dix had been turned completely about,
and had not the operation been per-
formed in the nick of time death from
strangulation would have taken place.

which had to be cut through in this
case was over three inches Drs. Bar
