A MAN OF TWENTY THREE.
Fosters His Conceit.
1t has been my experience that
the average man. after a days work,
prefers going out with a "giddy"
girl to relieve his mind. 1t has been
active all day. and he does not care
to enter a literary discussion or
something Of that kind. There are
few men that do not have a large
amount of conceit. and this conceit
is fostered by the thought that they
are of superior intelligence to the
girl. Although the same man would
prefer spending an evening with the
"Giddy' girl. his affection for her
could not be as lasting as 1t would
for the sensible one. A MAN.
