Piaintive Rhymster Advised to
Keep Girl Waiting Next Time
Every now and then the usually
serious questions sent me are
broken into by comedy as, for ex-
ample, in a certain young mans
plant. In spite of the collapse OF
his rhyme, there is plenty Of rea-
son for quoting these verses:
Have you ever waited on the
corner
OF cold and windy street
For a lady fair. and one
Whom you considered as quite
'neat"7
Have you ever waited with i'm
patience
Scanning each face as 1t drew
near:
And then with rush, to have her
suddenly appear.
"Oh! Have I kept you waiting
long, my dear ?"
IL you have. then, my man, take a
tip from me
Next time YOU keep her waiting
And see how she likes this way OF
dating"
In answer to this and to all the
other protests sent me against
girls land women tool who keep
their men friends waiting, l think
the only answer is the one the
rhymster himself suggests. might
60 even further: Allow her so or so
many minutes of grace. The num-
Der of minutes depending upon her
rating for promptness. If girl
is usually prompt, then you know
that something has happened to
make her late and you wait until
she comes or gets a message to
you. But for the girl who is
habitually late-to let her find you
gone is the only answer I know.
OF course she may refuse to go
out with You ever again and unless
you can start "Won't-be-waiters
union" you might think before you
take a stand that may leave you
girl-friendlessi But alas! I have
no alternate advice to give YOU
except to remind you that while
at home she should not keep you
waiting while she prinks in her
room. But in public places, it is
proper that she arrive after you
do and she must therefore be given
a few minutes grace to make sure
you have had time to get there.
