jJ-jlow Can You Size Up a Person You’re Meet- .-ing"_1"'or the First Time? — Look First at His Clothes; Then Consider His Manners and Conversation, aiid the Things at Which He Laughs

§ 33y W118i Standards d0 F011 judge people when you first meet them? h; What are the earmarks that you look for in strangers in order to get their (numbers? Probably the initial test that we all apply to new acquaint- ances is the clothes test, because that is the first thing that we notice about an individual. An old proverb says that we should not judge a man by the way he is dressed, but in reality there are few better ways by which to size one up. When we have given one the once-over we have not only got an eyeiul but a brainiul. and we have a fairly accurate idea oi his char- flfllef. disposition and position in lite,

Just as Cuvier, the great naturalist, could reconstruct a whole animal from a single hone, so we can build up a man and a. woman from their hats or their shoes if their hats are ill-chosen and unsuited to them-if, for ex- ample, a big, middle-aged man wears a college _~_~;____ boys rah-rah hat or a homely woman with a Li!!! face wears a picture hat they lack judgment and taste. Ii their l? sire run overat the heels and need polishing, they are indolent and ‘* oven y.

' If their clothes are spotted and need pressing, they are lazy andwiil do as little work as they possibly can. It" they do not keep up with the jgsbions, they will never keep up with new ideas in business. But ti, on

~ other hand, you can see that they have made the most of whatever money

they had to spend on their clothes; if they are neat and clean and smart- looking; lg they have tied their cheap ties in the latest knot and wear their basement bargain dresses with a. nair, then you know they are up-

mand-coming and ambitious and that some day they will get wherever they

" started to go.

m next thing by which we judge people is their manners. or course, ' c man may have a boorish outside and a heart of gold, and often "we do

come to esteem the good qualities of people who repulse us at first, but if ltstranger is surly, or grouchy, or unapproachable we label him as ill-bred cracadmrabound Jndpasshimup.

_ But i! a man is affable and courteous, if he has poise and dignity, if ho knows what to say and how to say it, i1 he never blasters or browbeats his inferiors, we recognize him at sight for a gentlema -.

Then by their talk shall ye know them. Not. only shall you know whether your new acquaintance is intelligent or stupid, whether he or she is well educated or illiterate, whether he or she is a spellbinder or bore, but you shall know everything else about their social and financial stand- ing, their breeding, their morals and their general characteristics. For every word is a give-away.

The mlzi who tells you within five minutes after you have met him about how great and wonderful he is, nine times out of ten is a nobody. The man who boasts of his wealth to strangers generally hasn't a dollar to his name. The man who tells you of his affairs with women and how no woman can resist him is not only a blackguard but altar. The woman who monologues to chance acquaintances about her Rolls-Royce and her butler and her footinan and her parlor maid hides in a flivver at homo and does her own cooking. And almost invariably when a woman tells you how mad men are over her and how many millionaires she could have

y married, you can set it down that she never hm a date in her life.

I knew one very wise old man, a very successful ‘ man and politician, who told me that lic never went into an important deal with a man until he had played poker with him. He said that after he had sat

l

- in an all-night poker session with any man he knew all there was to be

" told about him. He knew just how good c. sport he was, how much judg-

‘ meat he had, whether he was unduly uplifted by success ,or too much cast

down by defeat. He knew if the man knew when to blufl and when to hedge. and especially he knew ii the mil-n was a good loser.

For myself I largely judge people by the things at which they laugh. If they are only amused at smutty stories, I know they are dirty-minded. I1 they laugh uproarioilsly when some one gets a. nasty fall, or at some witticlsm that stabs like a knife and that holds some unfortunate up to ridicule, I know they are cruel by nature and would have enjoyed an evening at the Inquisition. If they spoil the iendesest scene in a play by

4; breaking into loud guffaws over a. young girl giving her sweetheart her

first kiss, or o. mother agonizing over her dying child, then I know they

I have neither heart nor understanding.
