joys Doing Favors
The habits which endear the fat person to everyone and make us forget
his faults are his never-failing hospitality, kindness when you are in
trouble, his calming air of contentment, his tact, good nature and the
real pleasure he seems to experience when doing you a favor.
His worst faults wreak upon him far greater penalties than fall upon
those who associate with him, something that can not be said of the
faults of some other types.
Likes Melody
Simple, natural music is a favorite with fat people. Love songs,
rollicking tunes and those full of melody are most popular with them. An
easy-to-learn, easy-to-sing song is the one a fat man chooses when he
names the next selection.
They like ragtime, jazz and music with a swing to it. Music the world
over is most popular with fat races. The world's greatest singers and
most of its famous musicians have been fat or at least decidedly plump.
Goes to the Cabaret
The fat person will wiggle his toes, tap his fingers, swing his fork
and nod his head by the hour with a rumbling jazz orchestra.
When the Alimentive is combined with some other type he will also enjoy
other kinds of music but the pure Alimentive cares most for primal tunes
and melodies.
Likes a Girly-Show
A pretty-girl show makes a hit with fat women as well as with fat men.
Drop into the "Passing Show" and note how many fat people are in the
audience. Drop into a theater the next night where a tragedy is being
enacted and see how few fat ones are there.
The One Made Sport Of
Fat people enjoy helping out the players, if the opportunity offers.
All show people know this.
When one of those tricks is to be played from the foot-lights upon a
member of the audience the girl who does it is always careful to select
that circular gentleman down front. Let her try to mix up confetti or a
toy balloon with a tall skinny man and the police would get a hurry
call!
When we describe the bony type you will note how very different he is
from our friend the fat man.
A Movie Fan
"The fat man's theater" would be a fitting name for the movie houses
of the country. Not that the fat man is the only type patronizing the
cinema. The movies cover in one evening so many different kinds of human
interests--news, cartoons, features and comedy--that every type finds
upon the screen something to interest him.
But if you will do what we have done--stand at the doorway of the
