YOU TELL ON YOURSELF You tell what you are by tho friends you seek, By the very manner in which you speak, By the way you employ your leisure time, By the use you make of dollar and dime. You tell what you are by the things you wear, By the spirit in which you burdens bear, By the kind of things at which you laugh, By the records you play on your phonograph. You tell what you are by the way you walk, By the things of which you delight to talk, ' By the manner in which you bear defeat, * By so simple a 'ching as what you eat. ? By tho books you choose from the well-filled shelf. In these ways and more you toll on yourself, So there's really no particle of sense In an effort to keep up false .pretense. ?"Ben".
