TIL E0PTIMIST

There Is no escort, lover or hus-
band quite so interesting as the op-
timist. No matter what happens, no
matter whether 1t rains or shines, he
Is always happy and always willing
to make the best of everything. He
loves the world and the world loves
him!
Every girl who has been fortunate
enough to know this man we'll appre-
ciates him. And in a way he has a
vast Influence over her life. The girl
who goes about with the optimist
learns 20 make the best of life. She
loses that critical who is he?" or
What is hep attitude. and learns to
like people for what they are.
John has smile and kind word
for every one" said girl who is very
much in love with one of these happy
and take a dislike to people for no
reason at all. but since I've been
around with John I'm happy every
moment and I like everybody. The
moment l would begin to criticise
mutual friend he would say, Yes. I
suppose old Tom would be considered
bore, but he certainly has a won
derful voice. Did you ever hear him
sing John always sees something
splendid in every one and he is teach
ing me the art
And that's just why John or any
other optimistic, lucky boy Is going
to make a wonderful husband He is
going to see something beautiful in
his wife even II she has on an old
apron and her hair is hidden under a
boudoir cap. If she is cross he will
remember her good points and forget
the little snappy things she said
Then. too. the optimist knows how
- Wit ,,sf,,
business man will remember his
smile, his happy outlook on life and
his kind word for all. A pessimist
is not a good man to turn business
deal or to greet strangers. 1t is the
man who sees life with a twinkle in
his eye and smile on his lips who
always gets ahead and helps his firm
along.
The optimist makes an ideal escort.
His evening always concludes with
the same happy outlook that it opened
up with. The show may not have
been especially good; the dance may
not have been all that 1t should have
been, but he will find some redeeming
phase to the evening and see to 1t
that the girl with him thoroughly en-
joys herself
He also makes an ideal lover, for
he manages to say the pleasant
happy things every girl wishes her
inclined to fear other young men will
win his fiancee away from him. He
is sure of himself and happy in his
own ability to make things go right.
And the optimist makes an ideal
husband. 1t is true. he is apt to paint
the future a little too rosy at times.
But, after all, the sun Is very red,
and the moon very silvery and it is
better to have husband who paints
life in golden colors than one who
depicts life in clouds and dark shades.
