The rest Of the article is description
of New York's celebration Of the Fourth

given herewith in the full strength OF
its gunpowder and glory:
"The celebration in New York is al

1t commences on the evening previous,
by a general fen dc joie Of the whole

everything by which noise can be made
with gunpowder. The fire is kept up
steadily, all night, by self-sacrificing and
sleepless patriots.
THE first grand event of the DAY, IN
which the authorities take part, is the

the flag first raised by Washington,
after the evacuation of New York-the
batteries of the harbor and the ships of
war take up the salute, an hundred
flags rise to the tops of flag staf1's ard

Joyous peal for independence.
"As the morning advances, the troops
rendezvous on the Battery, passing in at
the different gates, and are reviewed by
the Governor of the State, attended by
his staff. This review is very brilliant,
and is witnessed by crowds of citizens,
and visitors from the surrounding coun-
try.

self laughed at. and in this country you
can get yourself laughed at for almost
anything you do, provided whatever you
do be not amusing. When Mr. William
Randolph Hearst, few years ago, clev-
erlv alluded to Mr.. Hughes as IAN anil
mated feather duSter" he created slo-
gan whose exceeding lack of peril
nence to the gubernatoral campaign
was matched only by the relish with
which some thousands of honest Amerl-
cans reiterated it.
Fifteen minutes of Mr.. Hughes's time
spent in a BARRIERS chair then would
have spiked Mr.. Hearst's guns. Fifteen
minutes similarly spent by him to-mor-
row morning would throw 40S news
paper humorists out of work, besides
spelling eleven ideas for l59 future
newspaper cartoons. Yet Mr.. Hughes
remains unshaven. Why?
Probably, for one thing, because he
prefers wearing beard to going clean
shaven. Probably, too, because ne con-
siders that fact nobody's business but
his own. Surely an extraordinary atti-
tude for an American.
Two facts all Americans agree upon:
That we are a free people and that we
have the keenest sense of humor IN the
world. Consequently many Of us spend
a large proportion of our waking hours
in real terror of being laughed at by our
equally free and fun-loving neighbors.
Our written constitution is liberal
enough. but our unwritteu one, the one
by which our fellow countrymen regu-
late our private lives, is holy terror.
The number of intrinsically harmless
things that the average male inhabi-
tant of this home of the brave dares not
do is astonishing.
Take whiskers. You would think
that, being descendants of hardy chill
dren of the wilderness and that sort of
thing. we'd applaud the man who lets

grow. Certainly the logic of the stu

At the present time with the border

to note that. in 1S48. the first war with
Mexico was cited as proof that the
United States did not need "a large

And now | come to group OF really
serious offences-namely, the Things
that brand you effeminate. All Ameri-
cans have horror Of being thought
effeminate; hence our distrust OF art and
artists. Hence, too, our fear Of wearing
certain articles of apparel which effem-
mate men are supposed to wear. In this
we act with characteristic American

really hesitate to mention the red
necktie. To speak of it here is nearly as
obscene an act as to say bloody at an
English house party. To accuse man
of wearing one is to offer him an un-
forgivable insult.
Why this should be no one seems to
know. The red tie was originally the
badge of the anarchist. Then, with re-
lentless logic. we transferred 1t to his
diametric opposite, the socialist. And
now we make another leap and brand
any man who wears one as a sissy.
But the crowning mark Of effeminacy,
the ultimate badge of shame, is the wrist
watch. What howls Of hearty mascu-
line laughter arise at the mention Of

The straw hat convention is historic.
I'm 10 about four wears ago no free born
American citizen could safely venture
70 wear q straw hat before May Is. The
average temperature from May l TO
Nav IA might be-and generally was
1857 degrees, but you stuck to your
little old last years derby Just the same.
When May Is did roll around and the
thermometer went down to 41.O89 de-
grees, prevailing easterly winds, prob
ably showers Tuesday. you put on your
straw hat If you were rash enough to
wear it before the official date you were,
if YOU were a mere person, followed
about by cheering crowds. If you were
a member of the Stock Exchange your
new hat was smashed over your ears.
But that custom was little too idiotic
even for us. so that of recent years per-
sons have been observed wearing straw
hats quite openly and shamelessly as
early as May II.
There are plenty of things left,
though, that the cautious man hesltates
to do. You must not part your hair IN
the middle, even though it parts there
naturally. for that proves you a hlck.
You must not 90 about bareheaded or
coatless. for that proves you insane-or,
as YOUR more academic friends would
put it, nut.
Which brings me to the nut question
in general. It is rather hard to avoid
being considered nut if you have any
intelligent tastes. Read this snappy
