mean is don'tg go around blatting about
y. Keep it to yourself.
You meet men who are proud ~
thelr age. men Of mature years but
who are still strong and rugged and
able, that like to tell how old they
really are, and then you meet youthful
men who are getting on in the world
and doing fine things that like to tell
now young they really are. Mistakes
both.
ne mature man may really look
years Younger than he Is, and If he
does that is to his great advantage.
Tor the majority of people don't like
Ola men around; they want young
blood And as for the young man who
may look older but who boasts of his
youth, that's mistake because people
don't Ike men too Young; they want
men seasoned with at least some age
and experience.
It's foolish man. however able
