The young man at the right does not know how to drink.
Nevertheless, he has been selected by a friend to act as Best Man
at his wedding and has attended the Bachelor Dinner. Instead of
doing what he should do under the circumstances, he is making
himself conspicuous by remaining coherent while the others sing
"Mademoiselle from Alabam'." Had the Bridegroom provided himself
with a copy of PERFECT BEHAVIOR he would have known better than
to have selected him.}
GOOD FORM FOR DRY AGENTS DURING A RAID
After the costume, you should arrange to obtain a mask and a
breath. The former is, of course, for the purpose of hiding your
identity; the latter is essential at any party where you wish to
remain inconspicuous. A good whisky breath can usually be
obtained from a bottle of any of the better known brands of
Scotch or Rye whisky by holding a small quantity of the liquor in
the mouth for a short period of time. It is not, of course,
necessary to swallow the liquor and in this connection I would
suggest that you use only the best grade whisky, for there are at
present being manufactured for domestic consumption several
brands which, if held in the mouth for a longer interval than,
say, three seconds, are apt to eat away the tongue or dissolve
several of your more important teeth.
On the night of the party, therefore, having donned your Dry
Agent costume, having put on your mask, having secured a good
breath--you jump into a taxicab and drive to the Glen Cove
Country Club.
