ggmq ,i ii JJ, The 'Rhododendron 1924 AN INTERVIEW WITH JEW JOHNSON How To Make 351.98 Last Through a High School Love Affair A short time ago my employer informed me that I was to have the honor and pleasure of calling on the Honorable Jew Johnson for the purpose of interviewing him on the economic standpoint of a love affair. The object of this article is to encourage some of the younger generation who have been greatly discouraged owing to the H. C. L. fhigh cost of lovingj, and we felt that Mr. Johnson was most competent to give us this information. On entering his apartments I was ushered in to his private study where a howling mob, craving for information along the same line, was waiting, but upon identifying myself I was permitted an interview without delay. To open this interview I explained that I was to gather a few of his most reliable secrets to which he owed his marked success as Chief Advisor of the Economic Love Makers Incorporation. At first he seemed rather reluctant to reveal the secrets of his High School training, but finally, in view of the service that he would be doing for humanity, he became so enthused that our conversation lasted for three hours. After much careful thought I have condensed his rules into as brief a form as pos- sible so that they may be easily committed to memory and can always be kept handy on one's person. Above all, choose a girl of extremely small stature. The main advantage in this lies in the fact that she may readily be passed into games, shows, concerts, etc., on half fare. Whenever she hints for a picture show in such a manner that it is absolutely impos- sible for you to misunderstand her, always remember these few important sidelights on theatre going: Never start to the show until between eight and eight-thirty as this will make it necessary to remain at the show until all stores of any kind will be closed. On entering the show lead her by the hand, saying This way little. girl, and it will make it more emphatic if she will meekly reply Yes, papa. On the way to the show, remark of the disgusting habit some people have of chew- ing gum and also of the harmful effects of popcorn on the teeth. Here Mr. Johnson related his favorite anecdote which he uses in this case: An aunt of mine had a passionate craving for popcorn in her youth and-sob, sob-she lost three of her teeth before she was eighty. It is extremely advisable to map out a course home from the show before you go, being careful that you do not pass any restaurants along the way. He next gave us the three-fold advantage of being an athlete namely: getting passes to the games, not able to eat where coach may see you, and being forced to have parlor dates. This saves restaurant bills, drug store bills, tickets to the games, and cuts down number of pay dates. , When on trips and wish to write her, always use stamped postals obtainable at any post-office for one cent, thereby saving the price of an envelope, two-cent stamp and sheet of paper, a net saving of a fraction over two cents. Profess total ignorance of dancing and instead of going to the dances have her teach you at home. Be careful not to get good enough to appear in public or to attend dances, for this is a very expensive diversion. Every once in a while mention the remarkable affect on the health that walking will produce and this will' eliminate all taxi bills. With these few rules as sign-posts a mere amateur may advance far on the road to success. ll l 00
