The fact that inca may wear their hair

Most wonien radicals generally cut tim Gordian -

nothing more than a reversal of normal conditions -

easy for a woman to accomplish , What she

A man who has at twenty weddings been
"best titan" can be pretty rainy utlged to
have a "social side. " At the present stage
of his career , with due respect to the other
Inca present at these functions , one may be
pardoned for atlding also that Lieutenant
Ilichnmond Pearson hlobson was In more cc-
epects than otto the "best titan" there.
When one year ago this last lecemnber
I was bidden to the marriage of a typical
Ilrooklyn maid ( she needs no further ; raise )
and was told to keep may eye on the "best
man" who had served In that capacity upon
twenty different occasions , I will admit that
a large part of my interest went out to
him , for I have a curious inquisitiveness
toward the kind ofa man that that other
man , the groom , selects upon such an occasion -
sion to stand with lilno--perhaps I shoouid
say "by himn"-lro thin searchIng glare of
hymen's torch , One frequently hears long
before the bride is chosen "when f get noar-
ned I want Jack to stanch up vith mite , " anti
Jack ithtoo times out. of ten is a man for
vhose popularity in that directIon he himself
cannot accoimmot. A "best mann , " like a
genius , is born , not made , and Lieutenant
hlobson was born to this as well as other
-
honors. -
As I stood ralt1ng at the top of the aisle
upoit that now more titan mentorabbe occa-
aba I remember wishoing that I might sit
near the front , for I thought I mnust study
that best mann. The gallant omeer usiter
who fell to my lot asked it I minded the
length of the aisle-it was St. Luke's-and
upon my assuring him I ihiti not , ho thereupon -
upon placed me three seats ( remit the front ,
Title much for the gallantry of tlmo naval
corps.
Midst the soft. hitmehi , hush of silken gowns
, and tile patter , patter of dainty clad feet
up the marble aisle , and the occasioajtl
"clank. " of the swords of the ushers , all of
which was accompanied by the low voice
of the organ as its notes rose anti fell , we
waited ; waited for time pretty bride anti her

ing look which helped largely to dispel time
stern aspect of mouth and chin. There is ,

lie 'walketl with ease anti dlgmiity , and as
he joIned time maid of honor at the end of
tile ceremony one saw at once that Lieutenant -
tenant liobson was at home and in his place
by the ttide of a woman , for when does a
man of whatsoever renown so really reveal
himself-it there is anything to reveal-as
in the society of a woman. By the natural
law of contrast this is so. All that is manly
is at once more manly In the presence of
the "eternal feminine" which surrounds the
fair sex of whatever variety , new women
not excepted. Nothing can excel the gm-
elous , respetful courtesy with which this
iicro-gemttlenian JoIned the fair macid of
bettor. Each step that ho took said "f walk
t'ltho you , " not "you with me , " and yet Mr.
Hobson sways entirely the femininity by
whiomn lie is accompanied , but line a fashion
of getting you Into the right way and then
joining you ,
As a dammcer ho Is aiw'aya one of the most
poimulnr macmm in the roont , lie makes It apparent -
parent that not only lie is but you are doing
the better because you are together.
In conversation he is singularly fasclnat-
lug , his yoico being softer than a womooton's
amid yet mtoortaklmog of none of the feminine
quality. It Is omoly when talking that ho
reveals his teeth , which are white anti beau-
tiful. his mouth at other times is in hoer-
feet repose , antI even vhen lie smiles it Is
mostly with his eyes.
When talking upon time "Cuban question"
his taco showed motora expression thmion at
any oilier time , 'While his eyes glowed anti
darkened and hIs chin was fimno and set , he
declared that time question could only be
"war" anti that lie '
settled by 'as ready
anti anxious to go to the front , If his coin-
panlon were a man , aaoi one Interested , lie
would frequently draw a plait showing
whereby the war nolgiit be conducted. lie

fluently.
lie enjoyed particularly the society of
young womoen and carried himself whIle
with them with that elegantly digmilfieti
graciousness peculiar to the old south , for
ho luherited all the gallant chivalry for
whoicho the old-time southern gentleman is
noted , his Progenitors tinting back to the
F. F. V't.
'Fhmmot the social side of Lieutenant blob-
sun's nature Is strongly developed there is
nil doubt , but , young thought hoe is ( lie is
28) ) , there is a very evident and apparent
appreciation for time spent in study and in

spoIls , where ho stood first In lois class
anti in everything , shows this , lie

ality. Individuality is nlo strong within
him , and , while doubtless you could not
tell why , you nevertheless woomlci sepArate
him from the men by whom in was stir-
rounded. They might be greater men or
less , but you certainly woultl have no dim-
culty in placing him above the avewage
man , and of his kind particularly and
strangely solitary , That sucho as hoe spend
considerable time in solitude anti silence is
evident , In the midst of time most festive
scene you felt him to be influenced by an
atmosphere which was particularly and po-
cullarly his own ,

Sympathy may not as yet have risen to
the surface-if it exists. Ambition stands
first with iolm , but the ambition of a man
for time betterment of humanity-not of self ,
It is apparent that ho knows nothing of

determination with which Ito guided you
through a "waltz" or a "two-step" told that
there was more back of that ,
ilobenmo's Ulcycle ,
With regard to determination and ploys-
ical endurance , in fact in all-around ability
to do or tIle in whatever he umidertook , a
friend tells this story : While in flrooklyn
less than two years ago tie livetl at the
Dachoelor club at the navy ard , hearing
at the time of the openIng of a large tie-
partrnent house and of tjteir intcndci sale
of $100 wheels for $10 ho tieclded to go to
time sale. Ills friends said , "Iiohson , you
will imavo your trouble for your pains. " "it
is a sell , " "You vili he , jostled by the
rabble anti you will get moo wioeel , " Regardless -
less of nil tItle , witiootmt heed for ridicule ,
lie went to New York , reaching there about
S o'clock the night prevIous to the sale ,
lie took tip lois imsitlon next to the doors ,
Omadualiy time crowd grew to a perfect mob ,
the history of whoicho has been told by the
papers , still Ilobson maintained his position ,
whIch was nothing easy , as lie was wedged
in between the doors anti the crowtl.
This however , he endured until 8 o'cloclc
the next morning , when the doors worn
opened , The Impetus caused by the crowd
sent him upon n run into the store , where ,
immediately seizing a wheel , ito thrust a
$10 bill into tioe hands of the clerk , and
rnii : "hero Is your $10 I want this
wheel. " The man refused , sayingVo :
wilt send It to you later , ' ' ' 'No you don't , "
cried Ilobson , and thrustIng the bill into the
man's hands he turned and fought his
way , wheel and all , thorough the mob , that
by this time hind become unmanageable.
Upon reacloing the outskirts of the crowd
his clothing was nearly torn train him.
Heedless of this , after having stood the
entire night , and now without breakfast and
generally a wreck , ho totoumoteti his wheel ,
iroud as Apollo upon Pegasus , and rode
home to the boys at time Bachelor chub ,
reaching thmere about 12 o'clock , the hereof
of the sale and time admiration of all his
friends.
During hIs stay in Brooklyn Lieutenant
Hobson made many warm friends , a large
number , owing to his social qualities , being
nnoong ( lie fair sex , The opinion among
them is that , while fond of hooking well and
being thoroughly In harmony with his day
and generation , still ho Is neither a beau
nor dandy ,
A call from him was not to be forgotten ,
for ho was a most interesting taiker and
not , as are many of our tornoy end nnvy
ioeroee , a silent man , on the contrary
always Sustaining his part In time conversation -
tion with credit to himself. He is very fond
of music , nnd while not himself possessing
musical ability , hoe greatly enjoys bleading
his voice with others in college songs , etc.
So far as has been revealed by Lieutenant
Hobson himself , he is as yet the "friend of
nh women , but the lover of none , " unless
perhaps it be his mothmer , to whom ho Is very
devoted , and whom hmls friends frequently
valuable.

beads , are deservedly noted , In time effort
to kcep thto balance of the burden they are
carrying these women train all thee muscles
of the body In order that they
may valk smoothly and steadily ,
aio.l lime result is l queenly carriage -
riago whlch many a great lady nilght
envy , To attain graceful carriage much may
be done by practicing walklmmg with some object -
ject on the head-a little cushion , a book or
even a light board would do-and certainly
alt young people should learn dancing , and ,
if possible , fencing. These exercises produce
firmness and flexibility in the limbs and the
power of sustaining balance gracefullr.

At the Iresent timne there are in time building -
