They aro well dressed, good- natured, ana jolly-looking meu who aiv I seen together in a box at tho theatre, j dining at a good restaurant, going to the ‘ races on a coach, or running off for two ! or three days’ fishing ou a yacht. Their bills are paid unobtrusively and quietly, { but when the crowd js alone, a prompt • settlement Is had, and each man pa vs his own share. /••■*: Wheu a number of men “whack up” ■ for a. diunor it reduces tjio cost very ! much. ■ They can Mt a much better din- ' uev. have more wine and a great*.r variety than when dining alone, and for less j money. As a rule, the young men who go about town habitually aro not over-; burdened with funds, and if any t ue ot them attempted to entertain ah .his i friends ho would find it a serious drain ! on his purse; -That is why 4 jhe Phila- ; dolphin plan is resorted to. During the { races at Jerome park the hotel coaches I arc continually employed by crowds ot ! nieu who go on this principle. The 1 coaches have moveable seats which can • bo arranged on top so that they look j like veritable coaching-club drags, J and when drawn by four spanking bhys thoy make ouitc a presentable ap pearance. With a crowd of ten, or fifteen men abroad, such a coach usually forms a very lively sort of jim cession. The young meu usually chip in from £:J to $10 a piece and make the solid sum with which they buy a horse for a winner and a horse for a pined in every raCe. This keeps them interested all through the day. and when they!go home they divide the winnings—if there are any. In tho same way they arrange yachting trips and excursions to the country. \ It may not be a particularly aristocratic mode of procedure, but it certainly is much fairor to all concerned than the indiscriminate habit of treating, fby whieh tho poorest man in the crowd is usually impoverished—through the j^o- verbial generosity of poor men—and the mean man lias no end end of fun with out paying for it. Fanny Kemble** Debuf. [Belgavin.] | In “The Kocords of a Girlhood” she has given a most interesting description of her debut at 17, relating how, after he was dressed she sat in her dressing- room with her lmnds convulsively clasped and the tears welling up into hex yes; how, when she was called, slm food at the wing lying back almost in- eusiblo iu her aunt’s arms.
