THE EFFEMINATE MAN.
We hear 80 much about the masculine
woman. Every journalist thinks his
paper incomplete without making some
reference to the ''new" woman, or the old
fashioned phrase the "masculiue woman"
These are looked upon Ms one and The
same.
They are usually pictured In blooming
shirt, tie and mannish hat, or else AZ
usurping some ofthe prerogatiyes belong
tng TO the sterner sex.
Why do we hear so little about the
effemiuate manY They are certainly as
Objectionable and quite as disgusting.
He may not be recognized ut q casual
glance. Often times his hair Is SO well
''done" il would never occur to one that
the curls were not perfectly natural; his
face, too, may be SO well made that no
one would suspect the use Of anything
more than the usual requisites after
shaving.
doth not even nature herself teach
you this, that II a man have long hair IL
In . shame To himf But II a woman rave

we have the man with the flowing parted
~ locks In our very midst, yet he Is not
satisfied with the "Reminiscences afforded
by the length OF his tresses, but must
needs part them in the middle. This may
seem an exaggerated picture, but IL 10
one the less y very true one.
Suppose 'the lords OF creation" turn
their attention for awhile to the "feminine
man." They have expended SO much
energy In denouncing the "masculine
woman" 1t would be quite refreshing to
hear something on q difiereot subject.
There are certain types Of young men
even more Objectionable than the effem-
mate species. They are denOminated
dudes Their clothing must be cut
in the most extreme style, their flowing
locks parted exactly in the middle.
Over these lovely locks is placed a hat
of the glOssiest silk, which tips are
lessly over Oh one side. Their necks are
encased in the %stiffest and highest OF
collars. 1t would be impossible Il
enumerate all their wonderful vagaries
in the way of cravats, ties and the like.
Their shoes resemble t0othpicks, but
the never To be forgotten eye-giass
which is always accompanied by the
bewitching little ~goId-headed walking
cane. Dudes have a swagger peculiar
to themselves. They don't even articu'
late like amy other known animal
don't you KNOW" Once an old trappel
out west met one of these creatures il
the mountains. lie could not deter
mine to what species he belonged, buI
declared that somehow or other he wa
always in bad luck, for whenever b,
left his gun at home he vas certain I,

Effeminate men and dudes will doubt
less find Y place in the columns Of on
paper. 1t would hardly he fair to leav'
old bachelors out in the cold. We wOul,
nOtuhurt their feelings for anything IL

laugh. Some old bachelors have q yer
neglected look. Unlike the dude, the
hair is eve parted, their boards gro,

appear desOlate and hungry. The
coats are slick, and out at elbows, an
altogether they are to be pitied. Son
time ago 1t was proposed to levy q "

to be given TO old maids. l believe tn
law eve went into effect, because II
ladies were too independent to accel
money in that way. 1t has been SUI

each old bachelor now, the proceeds
