[Reflections of a Bachelor Girl]


A MAN buttons a woman's dress up the back with almost the same grace and alacrity that a woman displays in climbing a barbed wire fence.


REFLECTIONS OF A
BACHELOR GIRL "JUST once more" is the Devil's best argument.
VARIETY is the spice of love.
THE only people who believe in a personal devil, nowadays, are the ones who are married to that kind. THE girl who marries for money is bought; but the girl who marries for love is sold. A WISE lover, like a good cook, is one who knows when the fire is out. ALIMONY is the price of peace.
IN marriage, the love-light so often goes out as soon as the gas bills begin to come in.

THE only way to be happy with a husband is to learn to be happy without him most of the time. LOVE is just the shine on the jewel of matrimony; but, after all, the shine on a jewel is the whole thing. A MAN firmly believes that, if he can only keep his wife in the straight and narrow path, he can go out and zig-zag all over the downward one without falling from grace. A GIRL is never so surprised when a man proposes to her as he is. LOVE doesn't really "make the world go 'round," it only makes us so dizzy that everything seems to be going round. ENNUI is "that tired feeling" that a girl has when the right man doesn't show up and the wrong one does.
