.
These are traits of great fascination and the Thoracic uses them freely
upon others throughout his life.

Always Blushing

His over-developed circulatory system causes the Thoracic to blush
easily and often. This tendency has long been capitalized by women but
is not so much enjoyed by men.

Most Easily Hurt

Because of his supersensitiveness the Thoracic's feelings are more
easily hurt than those of other types, as every one who has ever had a
florid friend or sweetheart will remember.

They forgive quickly and completely, but every little thing said,
looked, or acted by the loved one is translated in terms of the
personal. Bony people especially find it difficult to understand or be
tolerant of this trait in the Thoracic, because it is the exact opposite
of themselves. They call the Thoracic "thin-skinned," and the Thoracic
replies that the bony man has "a skin like a walrus." And each is right
from his own viewpoint.

The Chivalrous Thoracic Man

With his keen intuitions, his sense of the fitness of things and his
trigger-like adeptness, the Thoracic man easily becomes an attentive and
chivalrous companion.

Where the bony man is often oblivious to the fine points of courtesy,
the Thoracic anticipates his friend's every wish and movement, picks up
her handkerchief almost before she has dropped it, opens doors
instantaneously and specializes in those graces dear to the heart of
woman.

He is likely to do as much for the very next lady he meets just as soon
as he meets her. These ready courtesies cost the Thoracic husband as
many explanations as the caressing habit costs the Alimentive.

Breaches of Promise

More bona fide breach of promise suits are brought against the
Thoracic man than any other. He thinks rapidly, speaks almost as quickly
as he thinks and about what he thinks.

Consequently many an honorable man has awakened some morning to find he
has to "pay the piper" for an impulsive proposal made to a girl he would
not walk across the street now to see.

Many a girl, too, when she is "in love with love" promises to marry, and
the next day wonders what made her do it.

This is the type of chameleon-like girl whose vagaries and "sweet
uncertainties" form the theme of many short stories, in most of which
she is pictured as "the eternal feminine."

She Gets Much Attention

Nevertheless, many a man prefers this creature of "a million moods" to
the staid and sedate girl of other typ
