Show Ungraceful Man. "Did you ever watch a man taking a drink of water in a public place, in a railroad station, or on a train, where he is aware that many eyes regard him? Watch this some time," a drummer drum-mer said. "You'll find it Interesting. The man, you see, holds the glass in his $lght hand while he drinks, and it Is his Inability meanwhile to make his unoccupied left hand look graceful that makes the spectacle worth while. One fellow, as he stoops over the cup in an elegant attitude, an attitude like that of bowing, solves the enigma of what to do with his left hand by putting it in the pocket of his waistcoat, and a fourth swings the hand like a pendulum pendu-lum to and fro at his side. But all men, do what they will with their left hand, look awkward and self-conscious when drinking in public, and it is amusing to watch them." Philadelphia Record. |
