People talked about - Flappers, Screen idolizers and patient man

The patient kind

Doctors are not the only ones who need patients. Patience and energy don’t go together, and some of the most frustrated people we see are the energetic fireballs who haven’t learned about patience. A patient man is one who idles his motor when he’d rather strip his gears-it takes time for him to realize that even a waiter finally comes to him who waits.
The secret of being patient is to do something else in the meantime, and thus make the waiting time pay.

Screen idolizers

Hysterical, awe-struck demonstrations that go on whenever a celebrity shows up, add up either to fun or to foolishness. It’s a pigmy ego popping off when an impressionable nobody goes into ecstasies because an actor looked in her direction or a singer winked as he went by. It’s newsworthy when a visiting V.I.P. says or does something-but when the press plays up the diet of a screen star’s pet poodle we get a pain . . . and you know where!

It’s one thing to drop by Chicago’s Svithiod Club when Lauritz Melchior comes to town and catch him giving out with a spontaneous aria as he’s been known to do after an “acquavit” or two; but when Wiggly Willie’s train comes down the track and a horde of squealing bobbysoxers jams the station traffic-that’s something else again. When these teenagers pass out all over the place because they got a peek at the back of his head, what else can you say of them except that they’re a bunch of crazy mixed-up kids?

Flappers

When today’s generation asks, “What was a flapper?” the best way to explain is that fads and fancies since the Roaring Twenties have gone through a series of changes, fluctuating between starchy and casual, formal and flapperish.
In those Twenties, the modish gals of the moment were called “flappers” because, along with the clutch coat and cloche hat, went big black galoshes with buckles-similar to snow boots that men wear now in a blizzard. Only, the girls didn’t hook the gol-derned buckles, they walked with them open and flapping like fins on a seal. Hence-”flappers!”
