table clothes and the Thoracic distinctive ones the Muscular wants
wearable, "everyday" clothes.

He wants the materials to be of the best but he cares less for color
than the Thoracic. Quality rather than style and plainness rather than
prettiness are his standards in dress.

"Making over father's pants for Johnnie" is a job Muscular women have
excelled in and for which they have become famous. For this type of
mother not only sees to it that father's pants are of the kind of stuff
that won't wear out easily but she has the square, creative hand that
enjoys construction.

The Plain Dresser

Simple dresses--blue serge, for instance--are the ones the Muscular
woman likes. This type cares little about clothes as ornamentation. He
is intent on getting his desires satisfied by DOING things, not by
looking them. He also resents the time and trouble that fashionable
dressing demands. No matter how much money this type has he will not be
inclined to extremes in dress. Musculars are not really interested in
clothes for clothes' sake. It is not that this type is unambitious. He
is extremely so, but he is so concentrated on "getting things done" that
he is likely to forget how he looks while doing them.

When a person of this type does take great pains with his clothes it is

positions gained through wealth or station, and are inclined to treat
everybody as an equal. It is almost impossible for this type, even
though he may have become or have been born a millionaire, to "lord it
over" servants or subordinates. He is given to backing democratic
movements of all kinds. This explains why Musculars constitute the large
majority in every radical group.

Humanness His Hobby

Being "human" is an ideal to which this type adheres with almost
religious zeal. He likes the commonplace things and is never a follower
after "the thing" though he has no prejudices against it, as the fourth
type has.

An Everyday Individual

The Muscular does not care for "show" and, except when essential to
the success of his aims, seldom does anything for "appearances."

He is not an easy-going companion like
