GROWN-UPS I LIKE.
(By Peter) Those who greet me with a 'cheery "Hallo old chap, how’s things?” And who listen when' a fellow tells them. Those who regulate their steps to suit mine when out walking. Those who take a real interest in my homework, without, offering stupid sug gestions as to hovv it should be done. • Those who dress nicely, but will go down on their knees to play with a chap’s new locomotive should he ask them to take a-look at the works. Those who remember that my building set is my set, however worked-up they get over it. • t Those who only mention the word “school” when I introduce the subject —by mistake! Those who slip a fellow a shilling so that father -or mother doesn’t see that it is a shilling and not a sixpence t Those who don’t talk about me to my parents when I am there to feel soft about it. Those who give sensible presents like a wireless 5 set or a decent adventure book. Those who leave a fellow alone when he’s busy reading or something.
