Too Wonderful!
HIS FATHER: Yes, my son is a
lawyer now. And doing pretty we'll
for a beginner, too. they tell me.
I always thought he'd go into busi-
ness some day, but he didn't want
it that way. Well, he made his
choice-and I was never the one
to interfere.
I hear from all sides that Buddy
is very smart lad. Why shouldn't
he be? Lord knows, I've paid out
enough money to make him
smart!
HIS MOTHER: Isn't it all just
too wonderful? Buddy's an attor-
ney now.
The law is such a wonderful pro-
fession. There's no telling where
my boy will wind up. Of course,
the field is very crowded right
now, but that won't make the
slightest difference to our Buddy.
He's so brilliant. Why, he was
one Of the best hockey players his
college ever had!
I can just see Buddy now as
great judge, or mayor, or Presi-
dent, or something. From the
very day of his birth I always
knew he'd be a distinguished and
brainy man. I knew Immediately
that he had all the traits of my
family-instead of his fathers.
And I was thankful! >.

AUNT MARY: It doesn't seem
possible that that boy could have
become lawyer through his own
efforts. There must have been
some crooked business somewhere.
Like father, like son, you know.
Well, my boy will be graduating
as a lawyer in a few years-and
then we'll see what happens. But
wouldn't you just know that old
man Smith would make his son a
lawyer when he knew all the time
that my boy was going to be one
some day?

Smith. Just happened to see your

me straighten out a number of
matters, and I think you're just
the man for me.
What's that? Yes, I'll have a
cigar. Thanks, very much. Am I
comfortable in this chair? Yes,
indeed. Now, as I was saying, I
need a brilliant young attorney
such as you are. But, first of all,
I want to speak about something
more important.
