speech in his background, a sort
of set speech, or sales talk
which he uses on his subjects
that is, on every " date. "
Ask any girl what a line is ana
she will likely say: "a line is--well,
it is a line of chatter which fell
low throws out that's all apple
sauce"
A line is all of that and more
too. Well, why not?
1t seems to me that it would take
an interesting, highly imaginative,
beauty loving sort of boy to throw
really good line of chatter"
What's the matter with a line of
apple sauce when it suits both the
pitcher and the catcher? Girls like
them, don't they?
It's Imagination
An imaginative boy is, after all
the most desirable boy He is
good salesman. He sees beauty, for
the moment, where there is none
at any time. If he doesn't see real
beauty in the little painted MINK
face turned up to him in the moon
light, he just imagines he does. He
knows his speech SO we'll that he
believes = it. He talks it, feels it,
lives it for the moment and gets
elegantly loquacious.
Beauty is there! If the girl face
doesn't look so we'll in the sunlight
IS it did under the moon, is it his
fault? No. He merely sold him
self on the idea and got bad bar
gain, the result of which will by no
means keep this bad boy from using
the sales talk to the next girl he
has a date with.
After all, the modern line throWer
gets his actual love-making done
And when he does, let it be known
to everyone that he sold himself on
a sure thing, on something that
shows up we'll the next day
Because boys ARE essentially |
beauty lovers, girls may as well
abide by the fact and quit making
fish of themselves swallowing these
current sales talks-lines and all.
1t is funny why girls blame the |
boys for not believing something |
they don't believe themselves. A
girl KNOWS what she actually IS
and looks like, while boys, poor fell
lows, have SO many chances to be
fooled
CHUCKLES AND CHATTER
Lines are. in reality, just a means
of genuine self expression. Boys
really mean what they say at the
moment-yes, they do! Not many
are so sophisticated enough to
Chuckle and chatter at the same
time-they talk and laugh after
wards.
SO what do we care? Let them
laugh. At least we got a kick out |
of hearing how "georgous" and how
beautiful" we we're. Let's take it |
all with a grain of salt and cultivate
kinder, patient and more amused
attitude toward these line throwers
who have so little excuse to really
mean what they say.
Dear Martha Lee have been appear
ing in local neighborhood theater under |
direction Of young, man for whom I |
I'm inclined &c believe he tells every girl |
the same old story What can l do? I |
think of nothing but him from morning |
to night. 1 know you think it is silly, |
but he means more than life to me.
CHORUS GIRL
In one sense of the word, you |
are silly for admitting that one of
these delicious line-throwers means
more than life. More than Ufel |
That's saying a lot, my dear. Why
he is probably no more than
grown-up child having the best time
running about telling stories, which |
he expects no one to believe.
So why should you? Don't you
know yet that hardly any one means
what they say these days? Laugh |
at off and feed yourself a bit of
salt. Few men are worth more than !
our own skins, so save yourself for
The boy who thinks you're the
e'bootifullest" of all
