the TROUBLE WITH FNGLlsnMEN.

In this day of commercial acti-
vity and strife, and in this land of
heat, dust, alkali and ever strenu-
GUS wrestle for grub. it is refresh
ing to turn from the ardent COW
puncher, the pIodding prospector.
the calculating aud mercenary
merchant, even from the vulgar
warrior with the glittering gew-
gaws of military splendor, to some
of the few personalities that are
dainty and refined.
During the barbarous past the
world held the opinion that only
women could be gracefully and
legitimately exquisite in their
taste and luxurious in their or
namentation. With provoking vul-
garity it was conceived that men,
to be truly admirable, should be
strong and simple and perfectly
independent and courageous. In
Ireland. for example, men in
whose veins ran noble blood were
so inconsiderate of the higher
circles of society as to follow the
hounds, fight in the wars, and
even, in some extreme cases, par
ticipate in the political struggles.
Most OF the nobility was dreadful
ly plebeian. Even the Duke of
Wellington is said to have worn
scarcely any jewelry and report
does have it that he dressed him
self and paid no attention to his
complexion.
But, after all, "the world dc
move" The fine Englishman is
setting the pace. We are becom
ming more and moro civilized
every day. Man especially is be-
comming more dainty in his dress
and delicate in his taste. The
other evening, upon returning
from the theater, 80 we are in
formed by a London correspon-
dent of the Los Angeles Express,
the Marquis Of Ang!esea one of
the choicest of British nobility,
family name Paget and cousin OF
the son n-law of former Naval
Secretary VIM. C. Whitney found
that he had been robbed of his
jewelry. Instantly the news was
flashed into the most remote quar-
ters of the civilized world. The
robbery became the chief topic
for drawing-room conversation.
and the Marquis was the recipient
of many sigh of sympathy from
/ dame and damsel everywhere. In
relating his loss to the reporters,
and we are again indebted to the
Los Angeles Express for the re-
port, the Marquis gave the follow
ing heartrending account;
| always have four Wallets, you
know. They are quite necessary,
| assure you, One of them has
charge of my cloths, another cares
for my underclothing and hosiery,
the third looks after my hair and
complexion and the fourth acts as
forman over the others. The valet
Gault, whois believed to have rob-
bed me, was my complexion valet.
I'm dreadfully fond of gems and
| think different jewelry is absolu-
tely necessary with different styles
of suits. | wear curious unique
gems in the morning, ruby and
diamond rings and studs in the
afternoon and pearls in the even
ing. Gault stole some really ex-
quisite sets of waistcoat buttons, a
set for each night in the week, and
all my watches. My three pearl
pins are gone. | really don't know
what to do without them. One
was tilbert size and was worth GlO,-
600, one pear-shaped and cost
CA, GOO and one little one, quite
round pearl. was worth Gl, 900.
Then all my bangles are gone,
many souvenirs of some OF the
dearest fellows. lost really more
than G30,O 900.
Here we have a gentleman who
is every inch lady. With sepa-
rate Wallets devoting their exclu-
sive attention to his clothes, his
underclothes, his hosiery and his
complexion, with his unique gems
for the morning, his ruby and
diamond rings for the afternoon
and pearls for the evening, he is,
indeed, a ching Of beauty and
joy forever. But, alas! his ban
giles and pearls are gone and he
will not be comforted.
