s
type is the most self-expressive and the most tactful it possesses
naturally this invaluable trait.

Both men and women of this type have an elusive, attractive something in
their personalities that others do not have--a very personal appeal that
makes an immediate impression. It pierces farther beneath the surface of
strangers than other types do on much longer acquaintance. The Thoracic
does not seem a stranger at all. His own confidences, given to you
almost immediately upon meeting you, remove the barriers.

The Lure of the Thoracic

Overheard in Transit

We overheard the following conversation in the street car the other
day between two young women who occupied the seat in front of us: "I was
sorry to hurt him," explained the Thoracic. "I did love him last week
and I told him so, but I don't love him any more and I do love somebody
else now." She really loved him--last week!

Thoracics can have a severe case of love, and get just as completely
over it in a week as the rest of us get over the measles.

The Joy of Life

A joy in living expresses itself in almost everything the Thoracic
does, especially when he is young. Such people appear almost electrical
