Mr.. ROBERT CHATFIELD CHATFIELD-TAY-

to be deserving and accomplished. youth.
and he speaks Spanish with slight Ithacan
accent, which the Infanta is said to have
found very attractive. His distinction Is SO
great that he Is u proper subject for public
discussion and admiration. Indeed, at the

FIELD, whose opinion on social questions is
always sound. AYERS that Mr.. TAYLOR is
modest and intelligent person: and we
may dismiss, therefore, as brutal offsprings
OF malice all the unconsidered gossip that
would represent Mr.. TAYLOR as inclined to
be pulled up with his glory as arbiter OF the

This idea of dressing in his coach originated with Mr.
CHATFIELiST TAYLOR: and SO far as learn he has
monopoly OF It, his example not having been followed
by any others OF the gilded youth Of the CITY,"
Suppose that Mr.. TAYLOR sits down to
dinner at half past seven. he has an hour

This must be instructive and refreshing

but the important thing is to have the hour
OF evening dress fixed. Mr.. HIG1NBoTHAM
has set the hour back to twelve o'clock noon.

1t is true that Mr.. Observation-Disclosures
six o'clock lavations seem somewhat rude.
A can Of water seems an insufficient bath
judged by the cold canons of the efIete sea-
board, but the point is that Mr.. TAYLoR's
use Of washbowl at $50 p NJ Is in itself
n declaration for improved lavations. and
sign OF progress toward higher civiliza-
ton. OF course. not even Mr.. TAYLOR is
perfect. He would be the last person to
assert perfection for himself He Is no soft
Campaniun with high luxury in his baths
and perfumes. He wears cuffs separabe
from the shirt. Many or our thoughtful
social students believe that the alphabet OF
cleanliness in the matter of linen is to have

enough that Mr.. TAYLOR Is himself of that
opinion. but he knows that social progress
Is slowly made. 1t is enough for him as he
turns his cuffs at 1858 to know that he
has set an example to Chicago.
