forced on all who are compelled to be

at any outing or public gathering
The braggart is SO highly imbued with
the fiattering manner in which his
coarse witticisms and vile slang are re.
ceiyed by associates that he soon looks
upon himself rs necessary public en-
tertainer wherever crowd is assem-

tips 10 his chuins in voice loud
enough TO be- heard by the extra audi
