KOnd GREELEYSMITH Let us consider the remarks of “A Man of the World,” who writes to The Evening World as follows: “A woman may dress in any fashion, no matter how ridiculous, and though men may laugh at her and pity her for being such a slave they will at least not insult her. The masher is the product of the woman who paints. A man does not offer insult to a dis- creetly attired woman. Once for all, dear sir, and every sir of similar opinion, your views are so extraordinarily in conflict with the facts that every woman, young or old, must laugh at you, For the regular New York masher cares not at all whether the woman he pursues {s promisingly spectacular fn her attire or make-up. He 18 just as likely to speak to a country school girl in a muslin dress as to a queen of burlesque. In fact it seems to add to the zest of the chase if he perceives that the girl he is annoying is inexperienced and afraid of him.

PESTIFEROUS MASHERS AND THEIR TRICKS. For the benefit of the numero who entertain the theory «that the masher seeks only the promising face, I am going to describe some of the mashers of the city and Indicate a few of their unpleasant tricks. ‘There t# an erroncous impression that the masher 1s largely local to Fifth avenue and upper Broadway, and that he la restricted to the more prosperous class of men, Yet there are actually more mashers on lower Broadway in the wholesale manufacturing district than in the frequently maligned the- atrical quarter, Wall street, of course, furnishes @ goodly quota of advénturous spirits, willing to bestow a wink or @ leer on any or every young woman within the five-mile limit, pute. He isin all classes, He sits outside of fire honses and car barns well as in the windows of Fifth avenue clubs, There are few women who will not go several blocks out of thelr way rather than pass a car barn of any of the street railway companies, Why? Because of the gantlet of insult to which otherwise she must submit from the uniformed loungers in front. For if she ts young and simply dressed some loafer In New York! 8 sure to exclaim, “On, | as whe passes by. Lf she bap} in any fashion (no matey bow ridisy | conduch jbens to carry or wear @ flower she ‘a Greeted by the “Oh, me. If she 1s minus any~pecullarity of dress or face or walk, she is still likely to be favored with ‘elo, kid,’ just on principh The men on the street railways are doubtless in large majority decent fathers and husbands. Nevertheless, few women can pas car barn in New York without being made the butt of some obnoxious pleasantry from @ man in uniform, The “masher” on the elevated and subway service ts of another and more disgusting sort. Me is Generally in the ticket booth, and instead of pushing the ticket and change of young woman patron out of the window he coyly hangs om to it and seeks to drop it into her palm, If becoming aware of the impertinence she says to the masher, “Put that change down,” he deposits it sulkily inside the window and she her money as best she can, while a line of impa- tient mep and women walt behind her. Walking from any downtown ferry through the neighborhood of the hole- sale markets, the most respectable and circumspect young woman !s by no Means certain to escape jeer or tngult. Another type of masher, though, be it said for the honor of the force, a scarce one, is the ever enterprising po- Mceman who takes advantage of a woman's inquiry about @ street or an address to become familiar. ‘The In- stitution of the traMe squad did much to abolish the police masher. Before the installation of theso effictent and impersonal guardians of the pedestrian, a policeman seemed to regard taking @ young woman across the street as the beginning of an affair of gallantry, and if she resented his alr of special and personal protectiveness he could always Ket even by abandoning her to oncoming trucks and street cars, NOT GENERALLY SUSPECTED OF MASHING, I have mentioned certain types of time-worn witttcism, mother, mother, pin @ roe on | masher which dil women tn New York Will recognize because they exist among classes of men not generally suspectod of mashing tendencies, ‘The clubman and the actor and the broker have no monopoly of the despicable business of mashing.
