ABOUT MS SlSUer.
His sister is a delicate little thing
and she's inclined to step out as
the chauffeur calls It.
He watches her and lectures her
and plans to take her to parties
where she'll meet her own class.
And he's fussing around about
his younger brother-keeping him
in high school.
Il don't want him to grow up
like me-" says the chauffeur, Il
want him to have an education"
"And he gave his younger
brother a boy scout outfit and at
Christmas he bought him a cheap
radio.
The other kids will come around
IL he has that" says the chauf-
feur-and somehow he's so much
more of a man than his master
that I wonder his master doesn't
see it.
The girls see it all right, they
give one look at the man who
isn't driving, and three at the man
back Of the wheel.
Inc men IN the garage see IL
and so does the coast guard at the
beach, end the man who rents
saddle horses. knows it, tool
wonder why this is all true?
I've noticed it a dozen times In
the last two or three years. If you
want an outstanding, quick-witted,
well-mannered young man who
isn't so wrapped IN in himself and
his W rather unpleasant COM
ple:-es" that he can't thirk Of an

fellow is decent enough to like q
decent young fellow when he meets
him.

much his chauffeur could teach

ANXIOUS: Perhaps your fault
Is that you Try too hard to attract
the opposite sex. Why not start
being a good listener instead Of
doing all the talking? Give the
boys a chance to talk about them
selves occasionally. Be interested
IN their hobbies and their CONVEX
Sation. And don't show them that
you are deliberately trying to gain
their attention. This is the surest
way to make them run away, for
men hate the thought of being
pursued.
