SMILES, VIRTUE AND GUILE
Smart Young Man OF Big Business Has

Modernity has bred a kind of person
who is equivalent to that virtuous vii

so affectionately by the Sun In a re

young man of big business. He Is the
"grocer's boy" of these large times

are; they can frown. A certain con
tempt is their pride. But the bright
rising young man Of big business is
chiefly smiles, virtue and really guile
He is a conservative in his eos, which
means that he is knave; worse, in
deed, than the fool who is radical In
his age.
I detest that smart young man Of
big business. He has no personality
whatever, no soul. He is bred of sys

his savage elders to keep those in
