The
bachelor
sons of
the
wealthy
men of
society,
may
choose
to
remain
as such,
rather
than
commit
themselves
to the
responsibility
of a
wife,
which
can
become
quite
costly
with her
extravagance
of
irrational
expenses,
while
others
lament
or make
the
excuse
that
they
have not
found a
suitable
feminine
partner.
Some of
these
young
men lead
useless
and
unproductive
lives
carousing
with
their
acquaintances
till the
wee
hours of
the
morning,
while
papa is
occupied
amassing
his huge
personal
fortune.
As long
as his
bleary-eyed,
shaky-hand
son puts
in an
appearance
at the
office
in the
morning,
papa is
quite
content
with
that.
Yet
there
are
other
young
men,
that
choose
to
follow
in their
father's
footsteps,
winning
success
for
themselves
on their
own
merits. |

The Man's Attire |

"The
dress of
a
gentleman
should
be such
as not
to
excite
any
special
observation,
unless
it be
for
neatness
and
propriety.
The
utmost
care
should
be
exercised
to avoid
even the
appearance
of
desiring
to
attract
attention
by the
peculiar
formation
of any
article
of
attire,
or by
the
display
of an
immoderate
quantity
of
jewelry,
both
being a
positive
evidence
of
vulgarity.
His
dress
should
be
studiously
neat,
leaving
no other
impression
than
that of
a well
dressed
gentleman."

The Wealthy Businessmen of New York. |
|
|
|
In the
World of
Society,
the
chief
effort
of every
man is
to
secure
wealth,
and lots
of it.
Wealth
is an
absolute
necessity
to the
enjoyment
of
social
pleasures.
These
men
would
work
very
hard,
planning
and
scheming,
with a
persistency
that
often
wins the
success
they
covet. A
sudden
fortunate
speculation
on the
part of
the
husband,
or the
father,
may
bring
them
enormous
wealth
in the
course
of a few
days.
The
wives
and
daughters
of these
men live
up to
every
cent of
their
incomes,
and
often
beyond
them,
striving
to outdo
their
acquaintances
in the
New York
Society.
They are
lucky
indeed,
if they
can hold
their
positions
long. |
