Parisian IJlBll 1923 The Theory of Successful Love REVIEW OF NAAMAN APPLE’S BOOK He says that love is an awful thing and must be carefully guarded. He starts out by saying that he has been thru all the varied experiences of Love, and that the thoughts of the book are his observa- tions. First, you must have a girl (in this case a flapper with bobbed hair, painted cheeks, etc.), and you must pretend to love her. Never kiss her, because that is old fashioned. To begin with you must ask for a date, fig, or a prune, preferably a date with peaches, and you must have a Ford that stops way out in the country. You tell her that you bet 50c that you can kiss her without touching her face. She takes your bet and you kiss her. “But you touched me,” she will say, and you will say, “All right, here’s your 50c.” After your third date you are per- mitted to embrace her. But be careful to inform her that it is just style. She might object. After you have learned this trick, you can propose — — — a trip to the Junior Class play. To be sure she’ll accept, and you must take her, but above all do not sit with her. It takes a professional to have the courage to do this. An amateur should not at- tempt it. After taking her home at 12:00 o’clock, be careful, on entering the house. Look behind the doors and other obstruc- tions that might contain her irate parent. If you catch a glimpse of him run with all speed if you value your life. Naaman ad- vises wearing a steel helmet and breast- plate on such occasions. Put the breast- plate on your back. The next chapter, wherein he de- scribes the period before the Engagement, is in my estimation not very clear. He must have been in a trance during this period, and so could not describe it well. He says that after you have her consent the next step is asking her Father. He says also that this is a test of true love. You must have arnica and iodine in your pocket. Naaman says that he used an old armor and advises the same to his readers. As you enter her Father’s room leave the door open so as to be able to get out without going through the glass. Then say the WORDS and run. Then you feel a heavy jar and see yourself go- ing up in the air. After regaining con- sciousness use the arnica and iodine. You ought now to have his consent. If not, go to a blacksmith and have him straighten out the dents in the armor and try again. In the Preface, Naaman tells that he had his armor straightened four times. After your marriage do not take your wife to any shows, circuses, fairs, teas, entertainments, boxing matches, bull fights, christenings, church services, spel- ling bees, husking bees, sewing bees, bumble bees, etc. Only allow her one new hat, one new coat, and one new pair of shoes a year. Also 50c a week spend- ing money. The author says he is sure you will be happy. «This book sells for 10c, but for a week we are selling it at the rate of 2 for 1c.) Now Susie Discussing the story of The Lady or the Tiger, ex- plaining punishment of criminals Miss G.—“And if they open one door a tiger came out, and then the other door, if a lady came out they were married.” Susie—“Well, it wouldn’t make much difference as I can see.” Lest We Forget “Who are some of the diplomats of today?” Bill—“George Washington.” Not Taking a Chance (In English class Warren and Genny putting their work on the board.) Miss G.—“Warren what made you put that long mark over the ‘a’ and then change it?” Warren—“Well, Genny said one of us had it wrong, and 1 happened to think it might be me.”
