The Actress a Novel (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Actress a Novel Next to my art, there is nothing in the world so attractive as a perfectly clean, perfectly sound New York business man in a dinner-coat. There are other types who are not to be sneered at. The professional man, with his eager, nip ping air, is stimulating, and the idler, who has never done a stroke, but whose father has, is as pleasant to look upon as clothes, good sport, and one generation of leisure can make him. But I like the type that even at thirty-hye has a few lines about the mouth that come from set jaws during the business hours, shrewd eyes that can be kind and terrible, square shoulders that were put to the plough when a youngster, and the well-ordered, limited speech of a man who has learned the use of his tongue in a country college and the control of it in a City office.
