Note the bee-line the fat person makes for the big leather chair when he

Clothes for Comfort

The best that money can buy are the kinds of clothes purchased by the
Alimentive whenever he can afford them. And it often happens that he can
afford them, especially if the Cerebral system comes second in his
makeup. If he is in middle circumstances his clothes will be chosen
chiefly for comfort. Even the rich Alimentive "gets into something
loose" as soon as he is alone. Baggy trousers, creased sleeves, soft
collars and soft cuffs are seen most frequently on fat men.

Comfort is one of the very first aims of this type. To attain it he
often wears old shoes or gloves long past their time to save breaking in
a new pair.

Susceptible to Cold

Cold weather affects this type. If you will look about you the first

How the Fat Man Talks

Never to take anything too seriously is an unconscious policy of fat
people. They show it plainly in their actions and speech. The very fat
man is seldom a brilliant conversationalist. He is often a "jollier"
and tells stories well, especially anecdotes and personal experiences.

Doesn't Tell His Troubles

He seldom relates his troubles and often appears not to have any. He
avoids references to isms and ologies and gives a wide berth to all who
deal in them. Radical groups seldom number any extremely fat men among
their members, and when they do it is usually for some other purpose
than those mentioned in the by-laws.

The very fat man dislikes argument, avoids disagreeing with you and
sticks to the outer edges of serious questions in his social
conversation.

The Fat Man "Lives to Eat"

Rich food in large quantities is enjoyed by the average fat man three
times a day and three hundred and sixty-five days a year. Between meals
he usually manages to stow away a generous supply of candy, ice cream,
popcorn and fruit. We have interviewed countless popcorn and fruit
vendors on this subject and every one of them told us that the fat
people kept them in business.

Visits the Soda Fountain Often

As for the ice cream business, take a look the next time you pass a
soda fountain and note the large percentage of fat people joyfully
scooping up mountains of sundaes, parfaits and banana splits. You will
find that of those who are sipping things through straws t
