Whitney’s is a restaurant and a gambling place. There is no restaurant or hotel in France, Italy, Germany, or Spain whose food can compare with Whitney’s. At Whitney’s there are no menus; you order what you wish from an endless variety of special foods. But on your first visit to Whitney’s you often pay little attention to what you eat, for very soon, as the room begins to fill, you can hardly believe your eyes. At every table you soon recognize someone who is famous. After lunch this well-dressed group of persons goes down to the gambling room. By two o’clock the room is well filled, by three it is crowded, and it remains so until the early hours of the morning. I was deeply impressed, and I welcomed an opportunity to meet Mr. Whitney himself. I found him a man square of jaw, cold of eyes, his face rather unexpressive — much what I expected. He was not a very communicative person. He told me his once experience, though. "The other day a lady, who claimed herself Mrs. John Rossiter, came to my once." He said, "Before she said a word she began to cry; the tears came into her eyes and began to run down her cheeks, and she kept wiping them away with her handkerchief, trying all the way to control herself. I can’t stand, but this rather impressed me." "Her husband had lost thirty thousand dollars in the gambling room, she told me. I have known John Rossiter well enough to say ’Hello,’ but not much more than that. Mrs. Rossiter explained that the great problem of her life had been her husband’s gambling. It was a long story, I don’t remember the details, but I told her that I agreed to give her back the money which her husband had lost." As he spoke of this a light came into his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. "The next morning I met John Rossiter. I asked him not to come here after his wife told me about his troubles. But he said he was not married.\ Mr. Whitney’s appearance ______.

It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are eager to control and dominate; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problems -- and they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships. I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young. Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainment and music. This is not their motives. They feel isolated from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, it turns out that their music or entertainment irritates their parents. This gives them additional joy. Sometimes you are resistant, and proud because you don’t want your parents to approve of what you do. If they do approve, it looks as if you are opposed to your own group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are loser: you can’t win but at least you can keep your honor. This is negative way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you are completely under your parents’ control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself. If you plan to control your life, cooperation can be part of that plan. You can charm others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you- want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do. Teenagers tend to have strange clothes and hairstyles because they ______.
