LOUNGERSJN LUXURY
The Life of the Gilded Youths of
Great Britain.
FADS OF MODERN SYBARITES.
They Surround Themselves With tht
Highest Products of Civiliiation and
Make Idols of Their Bodies, These
Twentieth Century Epicures.
In a case that came before the bank
ruptcy court receutly the debtor, a
young man In the early twenties, gave
In his accounts an Item of 0,000
which, he said, was tho amount he had
lost owing to the compulsory sale of
the furniture In his flat. Tho original
cost 6f the furniture In question Is left
to the Imagination. The truth is that
our "golden lads" do themselves re
markably well (to use their own ex
pression) and think that nothing In the
world is too good for them. We are
always reading In the papers allusions
to the luxury and extravagnnce of wo
men of the smart world. Now and
then we may come across some refer
ence to the elaboration of self Indul
gence In which the young men of our
wealthy class luxuriate. Some years
since we had a description of the
wardrobe of a New York "dude." It
appeared In an American paper, and
much of it had been communicated by
the young man himself, especially
some Information as to the prices of
the garments he affected. Not long
after a paragraph went the round of
the papers about a certain Italian poet
and the little comforts with which he
loved to surround himself. They were
described as In no way Inferior to
those of the New York young man. It
Is not alone In England that the dandy
surrounds himself with the highest
products of civilization and makes a
god of bis body.
The luxury of a woman of fashion
pales almost to insignificance when
compared with that, for instance, of
her brother In the guards or heir to
the family estates. The young man who
was 6,000 to the bad In consequence of
"the bankruptcy sale" of his furniture
Is a case In point ue prooamy lav
ished between 8.000 and 10,000 on the
plenishing of the rooms. This Is not
much beyond the usual with young
men of the kind. Carpets alone make a
large hole In 1,000. Something very
special in wall hangings Is proportion
ate In cost Each piece of furniture Is
a gem in its way. The tradesmen know
the kind of customer they have to deal
with and that for the present there
is plenty of money. They bring forth
their richest and rarest and not in
vain. The high ambition of the young
man Is to "go one better" than any
other fellow be knows in every detail
of his surroundings. The civilized
world is ransacked in order to provide
him with the latest refinements of cost
ly luxurlousness in such appointments
as bed and bath, glass, china, orna
ments, silver and dexterously shaded
lights. His florist's yearly bill would
keep two or three poor families.
As to dress, a single fact may throw
some light on the relative values of the
young man's wardrobe and that of the
smart woman. The valet of one such
gilded youth having complained to bis
master that in his large and luxurious
west end flat there was no proper ac
commodation for his clothes, the re
source of renting a second flat equally
large for the housing of the wardrobe
was suggested and at once adopted. A
small room Is devoted to clothes and
brushes and certain preparations for
the treatment of shoe and kid and boot
leather. A larger room is given to the
boots and shoes themselves and their
familiar trees, and so on with the more
important articles of dress. Country
clothes have spacious quarters devoted
to them. They include rifling gear,
cricket and tenuis suits, sporting get
up and traveling kit. Here are his
portmanteaus and traveling bags, an
imposing array. A large wicker basket
standing among them elicits smiling
inquiry from the interested relatives
whom he has invited to tea and to
whom lie Is showing bis new "dig
gings." "Oh. that?" -he says. "That
ba,sket ought to know Its way to
France alone. It goes every fortnight
with my washing. English laundries
ruin silk things. We tried 'em. Tore
I them to pieces and made the sheets
yellow in no time."
"Silk sheets?" .
' "Oh, yes! No one ever has any oth
er now."
"And you send this huge basketful
once a fortnight?" i
"Every week," he corrects us. "One
Is on its way back now."
It is Interesting to see the youna
men of the day at our smart restau
rants, each seated alone at one of the
tables, intent on doing himself thor
oughly well. His whole mind seems
occupied with the menu and its coin
ponent parls.
In a novel written by a man t!i

youth lending London for Monte Ca:'!o

DEATH WAS ON HIS HEELS.
Jesse P. Morris, of Skippers, Va.,
had a close call in the spring of 1906.
He says: "An attack of pneumonia
left, me so weak and with such a fear
ful cough that my friends declared
consumption had me, and death was
on my heels. Then I was persuaded
to try Dr. King's New Discovery.
It helped me immediately, and after
taking two and a half bottles I was
a well man again. I found out that
New Discovery is the best remedy
for coughs and lung disease in all
the world." Sold under guarantee at
