Boys are boys. They look you square
in the eye and read your general character
like book. They begin to do this about
the time they get inside of pants and boots,
and do it better than men. because the arts
and artifices and Illusions and loves and
ambitions and vanities of lie draw kind
of glamour over most mems eyes soon
after they emerge from boyhood. The
keen penetration of boys detects your
shams and weaknesses. and also your hon
esty and courage and force. almost at the
first meeting. and when they have once
made up their minds about you. no cover
ing of pretentiOus words and no masked
expressions of face can induce them to
change their opinions. If You are in doubt
rs to your own real quality, put yourself
on exhibition before a company of boys
and You may SOON find it out. Their
saucy slang or respectful reserve will soon
classify you as good bad, very good, very
bad. $3.50 or indifferent. in summary and
positive style from which there is generally
no more authoritative appeal. Boys are
annoying, noisy, bold. often
.ruel. often deserving Of punishment. but
hey are bright and generous and teschab.e
md useful for all that, and discern motives
with the skill of old detectives. They are
,ntitletl to our profound respect.
