THE GOLDEN RULE-JoIN A CLUB.
"Yes, when young man comes to New
York he should at once try to get into So
ciety and have q club. He should not have
more than one club. If he has more than
one club he will be dropping in here and
dropping in there, don't you know. and he
won't get very well acquainted with any
body. II he has only one club he will be-
come known to the habitues. They will
LOOK for him. Soon they will invite him t
their homes. Then be is all right There
is no necessity for a young man t, enter

not give dinners. That's mistake. If he's
agreea ole be will be ente. tanned. It's very
hard, don't you know, for O man with
daughters to get them married off to the
proper kind OF young men. So, if the young
man is desirable, he will be recognized as q

he will marry into a good family and his
wifes family will carry him along into go

man. Ii be goes into society, don't YOU

Chesterfield was right on this score he said
society was curb. Men out Of society are
liable to become coarse. Men in society,
don't you know. become proud of
their accomplishments as gentlemen,
DO you catch the. points They
try to do gentlemanly things. The young
man who is trying TO get into society
and into a club should select one of the best
and Oldest clubs. If he goes into a young
club, don't you know, he drinks a great

with older men. A young man in old club,
