uOlIc d WOICIl' WINE Gay WOIh All my
life; I'd just gathered unto myself
somebody's else money; I hadn't
produced thing. / put money into
good industrials, local concerns
small enough so that l could have
some influence in them, and for the
last three Or four years I've been
doing something for my fellow man,
for the city and the country-not
much, but enough to give me some
self-respect. Now l get more fun
out Of winning or losing a few dol
lars at golf or bridge or tiddledy
winks or on college games than l
can possibly get out Of gambling on
The market or in any other big way.
"I've proved that my little hunch
god has the goods; l still exercise
him occasionally with a few piker
bets, but I've lost interest in lunches,
all except one--and that's the one I
started to tell you about. It's a
hunch I've had for dozen years
on more, and l don't know whether
it's going to be the one big f1ivver
on not. / think not, at the moment
Pm sure not; but the trouble is that
my common sense is getting restless
and pressing for recognition. It's
a merry, interesting battle, but in
the mean time Pm getting along, and
time is precious.
"You just said that there were
plenty of the right kind of girls in
the world, which is true, naturally;
but the trouble is I haven't found
one who just fits my ideas of what
wife should be-for me-and
Heaven knows I've hunted more
than you Or any one can possibly
imagine; I've hunted in the high
ways and the byways, up hill and
down, for dozen years, and I'm
/ just where | started.
"Women have a tremendous fas-
cination for me, and are constant
disappointment. I'm crazy about
them in a peculiar way. I think
women all the everlasting time.
watch women on the street, one after
another as they 60 by, and the habit
has convinced me that human be-
lngs, on the average, are the ugliest
and most unattractive work of God
they can't compare with other ami
mails, such as horses, cats, cattle,
sheep, deer, any of our American
quadrupeds.
but the average makes 4 fine
background, fine contrast; every
once in while, once week per-
haps, a beautiful woman appears
and * worth waiting for. ! don't
mean the pretty, high -colored, soft
skinned type; | mean the strong
healthy, highly bred, intelligent ones
| remember some of the ones [ see
for weeks l form all sorts of con-
lectures about them; women whom
| have seen once for an instant and
shall, in all probability, never see
again. OF course, they don't count
they are simply indications Of my
frame Of mind.
-. MEET g graf many attractive
women. 60 about it with a
great deal more method than you
would ever suspect, but l haven't
found the right woman yet. l dream
women, think women, live women.
The minute I've finished my days
work | look about for women; my
first thought when Pm dressed after
golf is of women--to what woman
shall l go, where can / find q new
woman? / see 4 woman at the club
who looks attractive, and I'm not
happy till I've met her and talked
with her. When l meet women at
my friends houses Pm thrilled, Pm
eXcted--for few minutes, an hour
/ at most.
1T doesn't take NE longer than
that to discover that she's not the
woman Pm looking for, and then
I'm bored. I've been disappointed
goodness knows how many thousand
times, but | 60 back and back. |
search on, my enthusiasm never
wanes, I'm always optimistic, l never
lose hope. It's the hunch; but if nv
little hunch-god wants tN stand in
with nc he's got to make this hunch
good pretty soon, on get job with
somebody else.
"Io ink that Pm conceitcd
for if you can help it, when / tell
va tlat | can't find Il woman that
suits met has nothing to do with
me; it's the bunch working overtime.
But | sure want to find my woman
want homc-not a house---yes.
and the house, too-like YOURS. and.
as you say, all I've got to do is to
find the girl who's satisfactory to me
