Lord Garmoylo in America

"As a heart-crusher, he could not com* ' pare with some ot the golden Chicago youths who affect that line of business, and there was nothing in his personal appearance to indicute either the howling swell or the masculine Adonis." Thus is | described poor Lord Garmoyle, once king 1 of the British cretins, bj a gentleman of the ('hicago press, who was not nnnatural y surprised that an "effeminate look ing man of about, twenty-six,- of a pink and white complex'ou, a receding chin, and a. ■ very small moustache," should -erer^MWre attained so proud a position. Indeed* Lord Garpioyle seems to hare had, rather a bad time of it at Chicago. '"Tho loungers measured him. up, and com. minted in not very complimentary terras upon his figure aud bearing," forgetting that a masher in a "brown travelling-suit and a stiff hat" is as unlike the real article as a king without his robes and regalia. But there is some fear that the young lord is still cunaing in dudish fence, for "the hotel lobbies were thronged with ladies, who evidently fetched him with their pretty ways;'* and it was, with evident reluctance that bo retreated Ito the seclusion of his private chamber, , " probably having before him the. warn* ing frown of his awful dad." If t Lord Garmoyle it still bent on Smashing," let him always remember that "if a thing is worth doing at all it it worth doing well,"' to quote the memorable wards , of , our future Sling. Or, in other words, "no half mashers." ....-,
