words "good fellow" cover a multitude of
sins, and when a man has done wrong, or makes a mistake, or uses bad
judgment, the other good fellows try to excuse his faults by
saying--"Well, he is a good fellow, anyhow."
The good fellow bursts upon us with his halo about him. As time passes
the halo dims and the good fellow peters out.
The good fellow who is so popular at the Club today is found tomorrow
trying to eke out an existence selling books and life insurance to

There is nothing in good fellowship that can be negotiated at the bank.
The credit man of the wholesale house does not give credit on good
