therefore likes and dislikes the
same traits of character in both.
The trait of character which he
most admires is altruism. The
trait he detests is hypocrisy.
Does he most admire a blonde or

hair which is often mistaken in this
country as a sign of wisdom.
This man who has been so sue

has been service. This service will

won the amateur heavyweight boxing

tie for the millionaire championship of
