You must not wait to bo brought forward by the older men. Tor Instance, do you suppose that I should ever have cot Into notice if I had waited to be hunted up and pushed foruurd by older men? "The way for a soung man to rise Is to Improve himself In every way he can, never suspecting that an body wishes to hinder him. Allow me to assuro you that sus picion and Jealousy never did help any man In any situation," JOE JEFFERSON once said that in a three-act play if the first and last acts were Rood no one cared how bad the sec ond act was. Fortunately this docs not apply to a dinner, for between the first act, oysters, and the last act, demi-tasse, come the real substantials the test of jour dinner.
