When he tries to be friendly, give him a lift. His mode of life has left
him with many advantages for usefulness which married people have not
got. On committees and in preliminary work he is often the best man in
the neighborhood. At funerals, in sickness, he has been known to be
almost the very instrument of the merciful Father. Teach the young
ladies that he is harder to "catch" than they suppose, and perhaps they
will turn toward him a portion of their character which will please him
better with womankind.
