Voice of the People: "Male Modernism"
HE’S NO SPENDTHRIFT
New York City: Here’s the difference between the modern girl and the modern man. I kept company with a modern man. He owned his own business, his own car and had no dependents. He took me to one show, an occasional movie, on a few auto rides, lots of walks and to dinner a few times. He gave me three boxes of candy and lots of Life Savers; a remembrance at Christmas. I never had any birthdays. But the money he spent on poker and bottles of happiness would buy Christmas dinners for all the poor families in New York. That’s male modernism.
ELLA F.
