The young man begins to
realize by this time that life is one great disappointment. He tries to
drive with one hand, and consoles his good girl, who is a little cross at
the turn affairs have taken, with the other, but it is a failure, and
finally his good girl says she will drive, and then he has to put an arm
around them both, which will give more or less dissatisfaction the best
way you can fix it. If we had a boy that didn't seem to have any more
sense than to make a hat rack of himself to hang girls on in a buggy, we
should labor with him, and tell him of the agonies we had
experienced in youth, when the boys palmed off two girls on us to take to
a country picnic, and we believe we can do no greater favor to the young
men who are just entering the picnic of life than to impress upon them the
importance of doing one thing at a time, and doing it well. Start right at
first, and life will be one continued picnic buggy ride, but if your mind
is divided in youth you will always be looking for hot boxes and
annoyance.
