That IL to Say Ono Kind OF Young Man
Do you see the young man3
i see the young man.
What Is his name2
Something with Il hyphen in II.
Where Is he from?
No place in particular: he is equally pro-
duct Of all large cities and a few small ones.
Isn't he ever from the country?
No; he is an artificial growth.
Where did he get his clothesr
London.
Why there?
Because he is a very swell young man.
All! Then he must have money!
He has
How did he make it2
He didn't
How did he get it2
He was born that way
It's the unearned increment that no is draw
ing on. is it2
Not exactly: his father earned It
Ah2
Yes.
Do fathers owe their sons living2
Tho sons think 50.
All sons2
No; there are some millionaires' sons who
are as good men as their fathers were, and
with a better start.
This young man Is not that kinda
Hardly
What does he do for LIVELIHOOD
Oh. very many things
What, for instancep
Sits at his club window and gazes at girls
rides a little: drives sometimes. does society.
flirts during the summer in the mountains or
by the sea. runs over to Europe. takes In tho
races. drops In at the theatres yachts 1t bit.
coaches in fine weather. bets on sporting
events. drinks when he wants to. smokes q
good deal. plays a card occasionally. eats.
sleeps, and SO forth.
Does he ever read?
He doesn't have to; he's In society.
But he ought to know something?
He does: he knows oil the best people, all
the best cooks. the best brands Of cigars and
champagne. and o lot OF other useful things.
Has he a home2
Certainly: he lives with his father.
He has a good homo. then2
OF course; an elegant one: the house cost
$25O.OOO.
Is the cost of the house any indication of the
kind OF a homo it is2
1t seems to be 80 considered.
It's pity he isn't domestic In his tastes so
he could marry.
Oh. bless your life. he doesn't want to.
Could he. II he wanted toa
He could. indeed.
He doesn't look it.
Looks don't count. He's rich and in the
swim. and he could pick the girl he wanted for
q wife and get her.
Would she be happyp
Didn't say he was rich and In the swim?
But 10 that ha pplness-a woman's happiness2
or course why not p? That's the kind Of
man the girls seem to want most
All girls?
Oh. no: there are a few old-fashloned ones
left who have quaint ideas that their husbands
should be manly men.
Does the young man know this2
Whether he does or not, he docs not care: a
wife of that character would make life q bur-
den to him.
How2
She would demand the devotion Of q true
husband.
Wouldn't he give It to herr
He might for the first few monthA After
that. tho club would claim him.
Wouldn't home and good wife be far pleas
anter and better2
He isn't built that way
Who's to blamef
His environments
Would he be contented with q frivolous
wife?
Not with her. probably. but away from her;
and he would marry her because he could do
as no pleased. while she was doing as she
pleased.
Is that the true theory OF marriage2
1t is the practice where money is the matri-
monial factor.
Couldn't this young man inauRurate Q re-
form in this respect2
Hardly; martyrs are born. not made.
Is he a namby-pamby youth2
Not necessarily; but there is NO demand
uron him to become reformer.
What would he do II reform were forced upon
him2
Go abroad. whore professional idlsrs have
Is he professional idler2
Why not2
What does the father think about it?
When he isn't too busy to think about II. he
is satisfied. SO long as the young man doesn't
do anything to disgrace an honored name.
He has an honored name. then2
Yes. by inheritance.
What does hls mother think OF him2
Oh. he doesn't see her worry often; she doesn't
hold the purse.
Would he. II che did?
Yes indeed: often.
Has he got good mother2
Really don't know. In fact don't think ne
ever had mother at all, for mover heard
him refer to her in any way.
Are mothers uniashionsble?
Children are.
What would the Young man do II his father
became bankrupt
lie never would speak TO the "old ohump"
again, and take TO drinking pArtic ulAr brand
Of champago for u compensation.
Don't you suppose he becomes tired OF him
self sometimes?
or course; but 1t is good form to be tired OF
everything
viii he keep right at this all his life2
What else Is there for him to dol
But he can't stand 1t alwaysf
You don't know him.
