In the heyday of the glory and power of 

 the late Ward McAlister, the leader of 

 New York society, he was a slave to con- 

 ventions. Like most young conservatives, 

 he grew liberal with years. When his 

 brother, the late Hall McAllister, came to 

 visit him from San Francisco, Ward 

 looked on it as an affliction of a country 

 relative. Hall wore a broad-brimmed hat, 

 and had something of the Western breezi- 

 ness in his manner that distressed his 

 brother, the New York society leader. 



Ward asked Hall if he would please 

 wear a silk hat, frock coat and gloves. 



"No," said Hall, "you attend to all that 



nonsense for me. I am too old to change. 

 Let me go my own way." 



Hall had the habit of shaking hands with 

 ladies on making new acquaintances. This 

 especially distressed his brother. 



"It is very bad taste to offer your hand 

 to a lady," explained Ward. "Don't do it, 

 Hall." 



Finally Ward introduced Hall to Mrs. 

 Astor, and she cordially offered him her 

 hand. 



"No, madam," said Hall. "I should like 

 very much to shake hands with you, but I 

 can't. My brother Ward says I mustn't."
