The reasonable young man in the av-
erage American city has developed into
a much pampered individual If he
dances we'll, makes a pleasing dinner
partner and gives a little attention to
purple and fine linen, and sends an oc-
casional bouquet of violets to particu-
larly favored women, he is very apt to
be placed on a social pedestal, which
is good for neither his mentality nor his
manners.
So many American men give them
selves over entirely to the pursuit of
wealth or fame that the young man
who can gracefully keep up the social
life and still score a moderate bus1-
ness success is in fair way to De
spoiled by over-appreciative women
friends. At first, warmed by the glow
of social success, he is extremely care
full about paying his obligations. He
shows his appreciation of invitations |
by dancing even with the wall flowers,
about whom his hostess is worried. He
makes his dinner calls re1igtouSly, and
is especially careful to be attentive to
the out of town guests of such women
as have made him welcome In their |
homes.
But in time, to quote country ex-
preston 'the feels his oats He over |
estimates his Importance, and he be-
comes careless as to social obligations |
At the dance he bestows his attentions /
only upon the belle of the evening, or
the newest girl, the out of town guest |
If pleasing partners are not plentiful, |
he lounges in the smoking room when |
too bored to dance. He Is no longer |
punctihous as to the hours for calling, |
and he is very apt to annoy the hus-
band of some influential hostess by !
lounRing in their comfortable living |
room at most in opportune hours, filling !
the air with smoke, and his hosts
choicest Cloisone bowl with ashes
But he has become a fixture in the !
retain his footho1d. And the saddest |
part of the situation is that young |
men, new to the town and its social
life, are very apt to accept him as a |
model of good form, for what they are |
apt to call smart manners"
