He
leaned
forward
to
put
his
elbows
upon
the
back
of
her
seat
and
proceeded
to
make
himself
volubly
agreeable
.
“
Yes
,
that
is
a
great
resort
for
Chicago
people
.
The
hotels
are
swell
.
You
are
not
familiar
with
this
part
of
the
country
,
are
you
?
”
“
Oh
,
yes
,
I
am
,
”
answered
Carrie
.
“
That
is
,
I
live
at
Columbia
City
.
I
have
never
been
through
here
,
though
.
”
“
And
so
this
is
your
first
visit
to
Chicago
,
”
he
observed
.
All
the
time
she
was
conscious
of
certain
features
out
of
the
side
of
her
eye
.
Flush
,
colourful
cheeks
,
a
light
moustache
,
a
grey
fedora
hat
.
She
now
turned
and
looked
upon
him
in
full
,
the
instincts
of
self
-
protection
and
coquetry
mingling
confusedly
in
her
brain
.
“
I
didn
’
t
say
that
,
”
she
said
.
“
Oh
,
”
he
answered
,
in
a
very
pleasing
way
and
with
an
assumed
air
of
mistake
,
“
I
thought
you
did
.
”
Here
was
a
type
of
the
travelling
canvasser
for
a
manufacturing
house
—
a
class
which
at
that
time
was
first
being
dubbed
by
the
slang
of
the
day
“
drummers
.
”
He
came
within
the
meaning
of
a
still
newer
term
,
which
had
sprung
into
general
use
among
Americans
in
1880
,
and
which
concisely
expressed
the
thought
of
one
whose
dress
or
manners
are
calculated
to
elicit
the
admiration
of
susceptible
young
women
—
a
“
masher
.
”
His
suit
was
of
a
striped
and
crossed
pattern
of
brown
wool
,
new
at
that
time
,
but
since
become
familiar
as
a
business
suit
.
The
low
crotch
of
the
vest
revealed
a
stiff
shirt
bosom
of
white
and
pink
stripes
.
From
his
coat
sleeves
protruded
a
pair
of
linen
cuffs
of
the
same
pattern
,
fastened
with
large
,
gold
plate
buttons
,
set
with
the
common
yellow
agates
known
as
“
cat
’
s
-
eyes
.
”
His
fingers
bore
several
rings
—
one
,
the
ever
-
enduring
heavy
seal
—
and
from
his
vest
dangled
a
neat
gold
watch
chain
,
from
which
was
suspended
the
secret
insignia
of
the
Order
of
Elks
.
The
whole
suit
was
rather
tight
-
fitting
,
and
was
finished
off
with
heavy
-
soled
tan
shoes
,
highly
polished
,
and
the
grey
fedora
hat
.
He
was
,
for
the
order
of
intellect
represented
,
attractive
,
and
whatever
he
had
to
recommend
him
,
you
may
be
sure
was
not
lost
upon
Carrie
,
in
this
,
her
first
glance
.
Lest
this
order
of
individual
should
permanently
pass
,
let
me
put
down
some
of
the
most
striking
characteristics
of
his
most
successful
manner
and
method
.
Good
clothes
,
of
course
,
were
the
first
essential
,
the
things
without
which
he
was
nothing
.
A
strong
physical
nature
,
actuated
by
a
keen
desire
for
the
feminine
,
was
the
next
.
A
mind
free
of
any
consideration
of
the
problems
or
forces
of
the
world
and
actuated
not
by
greed
,
but
an
insatiable
love
of
variable
pleasure
.
His
method
was
always
simple
.
Its
principal
element
was
daring
,
backed
,
of
course
,
by
an
intense
desire
and
admiration
for
the
sex
.
Let
him
meet
with
a
young
woman
once
and
he
would
approach
her
with
an
air
of
kindly
familiarity
,
not
unmixed
with
pleading
,
which
would
result
in
most
cases
in
a
tolerant
acceptance
.
If
she
showed
any
tendency
to
coquetry
he
would
be
apt
to
straighten
her
tie
,
or
if
she
“
took
up
”
with
him
at
all
,
to
call
her
by
her
first
name
.
If
he
visited
a
department
store
it
was
to
lounge
familiarly
over
the
counter
and
ask
some
leading
questions
.
In
more
exclusive
circles
,
on
the
train
or
in
waiting
stations
,
he
went
slower
.
If
some
seemingly
vulnerable
object
appeared
he
was
all
attention
—
to
pass
the
compliments
of
the
day
,
to
lead
the
way
to
the
parlor
car
,
carrying
her
grip
,
or
,
failing
that
,
to
take
a
seat
next
her
with
the
hope
of
being
able
to
court
her
to
her
destination
.
Pillows
,
books
,
a
footstool
,
the
shade
lowered
;
all
these
figured
in
the
things
which
he
could
do
.
If
,
when
she
reached
her
destination
he
did
not
alight
and
attend
her
baggage
for
her
,
it
was
because
,
in
his
own
estimation
,
he
had
signally
failed
.
