TO ACHIEVE SOCIAL SUCCESS
Is Necessary at All Times to
Appear Bored.

People who expect to get anywhere
socially must learn to look bored. 1t
Is impossible to rise above others I'M
less they bore you. AS long as you
are content to enjoy your fellow men
in a wholesome way you cannot hope
to have the friendship or patronage of
the better classes.
In order to be prepared to look bored
at all times it is best to cultivate SUI
perciliousness. Hold all good, sensi-
bic things in supreme contempt. II
you are forced to say something scott
at religion, criticize the colleges, de-
plore politics, rail at the laboring class,
sneer at the moderately rich. But
don't talk unless it is absolutely nee
essary-look uninterested.
Let it be known that you are easily
disguised. Include everything in the
commonplace, especially those things
that strike you az being original and
worth while. When it becomes neces-
sary for you actually 10 do something,
employ all the condescension you can
muster. Accept the patronage of your
equals and superiors with noticeable
resignation.
Whatever happens, look bored
