HASN’T HAD TIME TO
DEVELOP COMPLEXES
At Work Since He Was Nine, This Capable Young Man
rar Outshines, in Character and Ability, the
Youth Who Employs Him
By WINIFRED BLACK
The rich man's son has gone to California.
Hes just out of college and he's looking around to see just what he's
to do in the world.
He drove to California—ch, no, he didn’t drive himseif—why, the
idea! He took his chauffeur along to do that—and
the worst of it is he and his chauffeur are pals.
The worst of it—no. I mean the best of it.
The rich man's son is not particularly good
looking. he doesn't dance so awfully well, he
swims a bit, but not particularly—he rides w’ell
enough, he’s good natured, not a bad disposition
and he's not actually dull.
He never said a thing that, was worth hearing
in hi.s life and his laugh sounds a bit vacant.
No, he's not feeble-minded, he's not even a
high grade moron, as they say by way of psy
chology.
He's just a dull, uninteresting, ineffective,
young person without a tiling about him to at
tract your attention.
Now, the chaffeur is different.
atMFRFn Rt \rv He's tilc 831110 age 35 the rich man's son and
DLALN he's looked after himself since he was nine years
old.
No, he’s not particularly brilliant and not so awfully clever—but
dance, he's a willow tree in the wind when it ccmcs to that, and he
sings. Oh yes, he can skate, ride. swim, manage a boat, drive a car,
break any unbreakable stallion—and what do you think—he’s worried
aDout ms sister.
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.
“I don’t want him to grow up
like me.” says the chauffeur, “I
want him to have an educaton.”
“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
if 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.
The men in the garage see it
and so does the coast guard at the
beach, end the man who rents
saddle horses, knows it, too—I
wonder why this is all true?
I’ve noticed it a dozen times in
the last two or three years. If you
want an upstanding, quick-witted,
well-mannered young man who
isn’t so wrapped ur» in himself and
his own rather unpleasant “com
plexes’ that he can’t thihk of an
r*r thing in the world, go and
-4T a chauffeur or a mechanic
.^Jick driver or anybody who's
^ . work for his living and
,'iad time to get morbid and
ntered.
-, anyhow, the rich young
fellow is decent enouarh to like a
decent young fellow when he meets
him.
I wonder if he realizes how
much his chauffeur could teach
Mm—if he had the wit to learn.
ADVICE TO GIFT S
DEAR ANNIE LAURIE:
I am a girl in my late teens,
considered to be attractive, and I
also am told that I have per
sonality. I am very much inter
ested in boys, but I simply can t
attract their attention.
How can I become popular with
the fellows? “ANXIOUS.”
ANXIOUS: Perhaps your fault
!r, that you try too hard to attract,
the opposite sew 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 conver
sation. And don’t show them that
you are deliberately trying to gain
fheir attention. This is the surest
way to make them run away, for
men hate the thought of being
pursued.
DEAR ANNIE ’ LAURIE:
1. Is it improper to go out riding
after a party?
2. I am in love with two boys
and I like them both the same. Is
there any way I can find out
which one I like best?
3. Is it insulting to write to a
friend with colored ink and paper?
4. Is it proper for a hostess to
leave her party and go out riding
for a short time?

proper, my dears, to say nothing
of being indiscreet and laying your
selves open to slanderous gossip.
2—You're really not in love with
either of them. Keep on being
friendly and perhaps in time you'll
discover which of the two you like
the best.
3—Not exactly insulting, but
hardly in good taste.
4—No hostess who has any re
