_ Habit.
Toke a young man who has been living
, civilised all through his youth and com-
pel him to subsist on restaurant fare for
two or three years. and you make him a
dyspeptic. a hopeless martyr or a married
man.
He becomes so accustomed to reading
the column beginning “small steak, sir-
loin steak, extra sirloin," etc.. and end-
ingwithflquab,” which is always out.
thatwhcu he gets into a place where he
doesn't have to order his food and wait for
it‘he becomes wholly irresponsible.
One of these young men was recently
invited to take dinner with a,friend who
lived in a suburban town. He wcepted
with an alacrity that was not understood
. until he began on the dinner.
The old passion for “home cooking"
was'sc strong that he ate voraciously and
long. to the amazement and delightof the

which has never yet been answered, “Why
can‘t they do things this way in a restau-

As he and his friend were chatting over
the codes he began to fumble around his
Ducal“ as if in search of something.
"What are you looking for?” asked the
friend.
“The check. "
Then he remembered where he was and
wished he could disappear through the
floor. He says he will rehearse before in

by in. Depew to Mr. G. 'l‘copplcaoro. Mr.
James Shaugbuessy. Mr. lease Bemansky.
Mr. Michael Doherty. Mr. Samuel mm.
Hr. Denis Healy. Mr. C. Pedsiconi,sud
other wwwdiatrlct. captains of the
Second :Ancnibly district. There were
forty-sight captains and thirteen other
invited guests. including the lion. Shiner
I Simpson. Denis Shes. the Mayor of Can-
nrsis; John Murray Mitchell. late of the
Bowery. and William Brooklleld and Job
linkages. who are strangers there. The
Hon. Thomas C. Platt and the Hon.
Warner Miller uent letters of regret. Mr.
Miller taking occasion to say to “the
boys" of the Second: “We all dropped in-
side the breastworks this time, and we’re
going to stay there."
it was feared early in the afternoon
that the feed might be a failure. the Doc-
tor having unfortunately selected a Pri-
dsy for feasting. But when this was
pointed out to him, it is said. he tele-
phoned to the club and had a bisque of
lobster prepared and plenty of stnfl
crabs, and few of the boys shied at lies 5
meat anyhow. .
it was a goes-you-pleasc dinner in the
matter of dress. but insect O'Connor came
out strong in a spike-tall coat and a red
tannin-hand.
Mr. O’Connor exclaimed. us he got in-
side tbe door of the club and untied his
rope waistband: "Tank do Lord loan let
me wind strap loose. I aint ct since elec-
tion. Been savin' up for dis feed wid
Chance an' i been puttin' a knot in ’er
every day.”
The north and boys were yellow cbrys-
authemums and some of then: dress suite.
The south side crowd were white ribbon
badges with the words in gilt. “Our
Chauncey-He's; Peach."
'flietabls was laid in the old meeting
room of the club. It was the first dinner
ever given there. Dr. Depsw received his
guests in the corridor. Alfred R. Whitney.
who didn't know any of them. asking of
each his name and introducing him.
The drst man Mr. Whitney introduced
was Mr. Whiskers. who whispered his
name to Mr. Whitney.
“What! Whiskersi” asked Mr. Whit»
ney.
“Thomas Whiskers." said Mr. Whis-
kers. ‘
"Mr. Depew. permit me to introduce
Mr. Thomas Whiskerli." said Mr. Whit
nay boldly. and Mr. Whiskers blushed as
the Doctor shook hands.
The introductions took about fifteen
minutssmud then the guests were led
into the dining-room, whither a hundred
members of the Union League Club had
preceded them. The band played “Do,
do. my hucklcberry. do," as they all sat
down.
Gen. C. H. Collins sat at the head of the
first small table. Cornelius N. Bliss at the
head of the second. and William Brook-
fleld at the head of the third. When the
burgundy and champagne began to flow
things got lively. Not that any Second
district man acted as if he wasn't used to
it. but it made the feed more sociable.
By and by the baud struck up “The
Bowery." That hit Mr. John Murray
Mitchell in a tender spot. and he led of!
with the song. In about a minute every-
body was with him. Then the tune
changed to “Annie Rooney." and the
boys whooped that up. Then it twisted

and everybody swung right in with the
I boys.
1 There were some things that were new
’to the boys. For instance. the Roman
. punch was served in an ice cup. The Ice
’crssm came done up in carmine frills.
and Mr. O'Connor mistook it foraross
- and pinned it in his buttonbole. ills nest
neighbor grabbed it away and told him
what it was. But most of the boys were
up to snuff. in the middle of the fun Dr.
.Depew got up. and from the southeast
lcorner of the room there went up aCo
mancbs yell that shook the timbers.
The Doctor made a speech that was
chiefly political. lie started out witha
welcome. in the course of which be asked:
"Why shouldn't the boys of the Bowery
meet the boys of the Union league
Clubf" Then he said: “They do meet.
and it is one of the most healthful signs
of the times."
The public. be said. had been under a
misapprehension. The Union bogus
Club had been called the home of the
millionaires. its sympathies all with the
plutocrsta. while the Bowery boys had
been called a collection of mughs and
toughs. Both assertions were false.
“All the Union Longs Club requires of
its members.” said the Doctor. "is a good
character. good citlssnship. and loyalty
to the old flag. The Bowery comprises a
population. with few exceptions. the
frlsudscf good order and good citisso-
sklp. and men who believe in maintaining
the law." '
Isybe the boys didn't yell st that.
The Comanche howl remanded again,
and the Captain at the lower and of the
Doctor's table shouted. "ll‘osy Dock!”
The Doctor continued and iollled thebcys
along, telling them ever and oter what
good people they were. and then he
came to the election. flecsllsd it a rave-
lotion.
Mr. Bliss also made a little s hand
than Thebes lioaaa was let need as a
typical Bowery boy.
”Ye needn’t expect 0” near a Daniel
Webster. or a Henry Clay. or a Thames
Grndy. or a Bourke Cochran.” he said.
“he only a graduate from s sawmill."

the evidence of coquetry and bad taste?
But I cannot give any particular opinion
upon the, subject. because for me a corset
is a thing of very little importance. It
should be a light affair. enclosing the
waist very gently.
Mme. Judie—It is a very delicate ques-
tion. and I am not sufficiently learned to
criticise it or to make an apology for it.
Nevertheless. if I had the great advantage,
'- fully for an artist. of remaining
slight, i would most assuredly follow the
example of Mme. Tallien. who never
consented to shut her waist up in an iron
‘ prison. For all that. I owe to the corset
a daily pleasure. because the bother of
putting it on every morning is more than
compensated for. to my mind. by the
pleasure of taking it off every night.

TAILS OF 'I'HE WHITE HOUSE HORSES.
President Cleveland Changes the Old Fash-
ion nnd Inn The. Booked.
All of the horses in the President's
stables in Washington have their tails
docked. The discovery of the fact has
caused some excitement among that class
of persons who depricats such a radical
departure from the long-tailed fruition
that has prevailed among the White
iiouse horses since the days of Thomas
Jefferson. it has always been regarded
as essential to the rule of humanity and
dignity that the President should ride
behind horses with flowing tonnes and
tails. and the persons who are reeptrnsibln
for the present concession to fashion will,
no doubt, becriticlsed as severely aewers
those who proposed to bang Wall's paint-
lug of "Love and Life" in the White
Rouse corridor.
During President Grant's second ad-
ministration ths docking of horses' tails
was considered the proper thing among
those who set the “court" styles. and a
persistent attempt was made to obtain
Gen. Grant's consent to an abbreviation
of the tails of his favorite roadster. “Cin-
cinnatus." and the other fine horses In
his stable. The General. however. rt
garded docking as cruel and the long.
flowing tall as a thing of beauty. and he
refused to be persuaded. The local So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals thereupon passed appropriate
resolutions commending the President
for his humans sentiments. it Is lath
mated that President Cleveland was also
opposed to the docking operation that
has just taken place. but that he was
overruled by those whose desires be Is in
duty bound to respect.
