EeTFeFteQ N0IionN OF M0falftys
The Ladies' Home journal does not
think it IS necessary for a moral young
man to dance. play cards or so to the
theatre in order to be popular among
women. Quite likely 1t is right. These are
not the only things that interest women
or men either. But the Journal" goes
OF to exempIify the fact by the case OF
a young mai whom the editor, presume
bly, the lady-like Mr.. Bck, treasures
among his acquaintance. This is what
it says of the young man.
One Of the most popular and delight
full fellows I know in New York has
never been inside of a theatre. although
he is thirty-five years of age. Nor has
he ever danced or played cards. He was
a personal friend for ten years before
cluded his Indulgence in these amuse-
ments. His secret is that hi does not
carry his convictions on his sleeve for
everybody to rub against. And of his
popularity with women, young and ma
ture. / can assure o absolutely. He
reads about the new plays, and can,
therefore, talk about them If they come
up In conversation. If asked If he has
seen a certain ACTOR OF play ne merely
replies in the negative. Never does he
force his convictions Upon others.
We hope no young men will be tempted
to initiate this hypocriticaI cur. 1t is
certainly marvellous that a paper which
pretends to inculcate morality should
hold up as an exemplar a fellow whose
principles" win not allow him to go to
the theatre. but viii permit him to pre-
tend that he goes.

spirited and amusing drama "For Fair
