Peculiar Way OF Bidding

classes to whom Southend is the IA

afternoons Watching them during
the last few days. have been unable
to discover any striking Developments
in millinery or raiment, but there are
two directions in which the feminine
leaders of correct style in such circles
now mark their own originality. One
is by the carrying OF a cane.
'Arriet now has her malacca or
wnnehee tipped with a plated mount,
or her cherry-wood crook. and swings
it much more sclf-consciously than
she would carry her more useful pm-
brela. The first time I saw walk
ing stick as an item in the full-dress
attire of our less affluent citizenesses
was last July at n beauty show" in
Whitechapel. when an ebony crutch
was carried by one of the fair competi-
tors who secured n prize, but which
was objected to by some of the de-
feated rivals as unfair, though dis
tingue. 1t has now evidently won its
more general acceptance.
The other distinction lies in the
manner Of bidding farewell. Those
in the "slnart sets" Of these social
ranks neither shake hands nor say
''good-by." They extend an arm an
gularly, turn the hand ard fingers
downward, the palm being toward the
body. and stiffly jerk the hand out
ward three times. 1t is especially eff
fective through tram windows to

Here are a few remarks by a mer-
chant who came 20 New York from the
southwest ten years ago: "When l

acting like one, 1 nearly always heard
New York called Gotham A New
York man was a Gothamite.' We read
In our home paper of Happenings in
Gotham When man went'from our
country to this city he said he had
gone to Gotham ! remember an in
cident in my school. The teacher had
. habit of asking questions that were
not in the book, and one day he sprung
this: Which is the largest city in the
United S,ates?' The boy at whom this
was fired replied Gotham The old
teacher looked over his spectacles and
said:
"Nes, you are another one. wish
the fathers of some of you boys would
tell you when they read Washington
Irving that he was no friend of the
school teacher. 1t takes half my time
to undo what Irving did in the histor-
icai line. The largest city in the United
States is New York, and if any of you
boys ever go there you will find it out
The dear old pedagogue was a ma
tive OF the Empire state. Inject many
people in the course of year and I
rarely hear the word Gotham lam,

thanked Irving for applying it to their
