Gentlemen in Mexico tip hats When
ever they see each other, they shake
hands whenever they meet and part,
they do not consider it bad form to
stand in line on the sidewalks and
stare at the ladies, they wear their
hats in theater until the curtain rises,
and, moreover, they put them on be-
/ tween the acts and stand up to look
at the audience, and after a separa-
ton they embrace and pat each other
on the back if they happen to be init
mate friends.
They smoke everywhere, even in
some theaters. They never carry bun
dies in the street, but each is attended
by a servant, who carries even the
smallest package. They are wonder
fully courteous to each other, and two
friends will spend a good deal Of time
in deciding which shall enter a room
or carriage first.
Finally every Mexican gentleman
when strolling On a street insists on
giving the inside of the walk to his
companion as a mark of politeness.
This point is quickly decided If there
is a difference in station or age, but If
there is not, and the two friends go
down a street and cross often so that
the relative positions are changed, a
new discussion as to which shall oc-
cupy the inside becomes necessary at
every corner.

One Of Atlantas most prominent
bankers has young son who has al
ready developed surprising faculty
for business.
His father gave him s., and instead
Of spending it he handed it back to his
father to deposit for him in order that
he might draw the interest.
A few days later, however, the
youngster saw something he wanted
more than he did the interest so asked
his father to please return the money.
This the banker refused to do, eX-
planning that the son had no note for
the money, and unless he could prove
in black and white that the money had
been handed him the s. was his.
The youthful financier looked both
puzzled and unhappy, then his counte-
nance cleared. He called the colored
butler.
John, did you see me give father So
the other day.?
He was answered in the affirmative.
Then he put the same question to his
grandmother.
When she, too, said yes, young Ma
chiavelli turned to his father trium-
phantly:
"There, father, l have it in black and
white"
Needless to add, he got the money

How HussinA Men Wear Their ca

HOW HussinA Men Wear Their Coats,
When i'll Russia, remember well ON
one occasion an athletic young Saxon
shl7sging his shoulders and exclaiming
as some figure went by muf1led I'D in
a great fur coat, of which the collar
turned up as high as the top of the
mead, without using the sleeves, but
holding the garment on as one might
a shawl or blanket, with the hands
very carefully folded inside: Look at
that now"
incidentally it may be remarked that
this way of wearing a greatcoat. even
IN inner, is almost UNIVERSAL. e..
without using the sleeves, so much so
that 1t is frequently so worn in the
army by all ranks in uniform. and
there is special word in the language
which designates this peculiar way of
wearing coat | tried so to wear if
once or twice, but it really is trouble
some to keep on, and am at a loss to
understand how a custom neither con
venlent nor becoming can have be-
come so general as to be distinctly
