A WESTERN mustang in the harness of Eastern society! Out of the West came his ideals. The East polished and refined the raw material. Still, the product is as open-minded as the plains are broad, and has a will and determination as steady as Independence Rock. He is earnest and enthusiastic about everything that interests him. People fascinate and entertain him; as a mixer and introducer, his hat is in the ring. He always drags; and who? From an egocentric sphere, discipline and routine lifted his mind to a world panorama. In him, the sensual and the common place yield to the imaginative and intellectual. He shows cosmopolitan adaptation, at home or anywhere, and is a man among men, but a gentleman!
