| NO MAN is a really artistic lover who hasn't
enough dramatic instinct to forget all
other women while he is making love to
one.
IF it weren't for the tiresome wedding journey
and the monotonous honeymoon, bridal
couples could begin being happy right
away.
EVEN though the dulcet iciness in her
voice ought to be more effective than a
shriek of warning, a man will go right on
telling his stout, blondeblonde wife that she ought
to dress like the slim brunette next door.
THERE is something about a wife's tears
that washes all the color and starch out of
a man's love.
WHEN married people can't come to
terms marriage should come to a termination.

THE longest way round matrimony is the shortest way to happiness. THE reason a man is so often tempted is because most of the time that is what he is sitting around waiting for. FROM the stony silence into which the average husband sinks after the honeymoon there must be something almost unspeakable about matrimony. A WOMAN looks upon her first kiss as a consecration; a man regards it as a desecration. TIME and tide wait for no man, but the untied woman has to wait for any man who chooses to keep her waiting. IN fashionable circles one wife and a dog constitute a "family." |
IT MAY be very noble of a man to have no secrets from the woman he loves, but it's rather hard on all the other women he has gotten over loving. A MAN who can marry the right girl and won't marry her somehow always ends by being made to marry the wrong one. MANY a good husband hasn't the nerve or the courage to be anything else. WIDOWS have all the honors without any of the trials of matrimony; a live husband is sometimes a necessity, but a dead one is a real luxury. MANY a man's idea of a wife is something decorative to be kept around the house and only taken out on show occasions like the jewels in his safe and the horses in his racing stable. |
| IN olden times sacrifices were made at the
altar—a custom which is still continued.
OF course every woman knows that the
man she loves is a "brute"—but unfortunately
that is one of the reasons why she
loves him.
THE kind of woman who holds a man's devotion
forever is like a silky, self-satisfied
Angora cat who takes her petting as a matter
of course, never returns it, and never
gets on his nerve by asking for more.
IT isn't so much a man's sins and failings,
but the air of conscious pride with which
he accepts her comments on them that a
woman can't forgive.
THAT will be a great novel in which the
author can make the man who owns the
machine as fascinating as the chauffeur.

| EVERY man honestly believes that franchise
in the hands of a woman is like a
loaded gun in the hands of a small boy—utterly
useless and sure to do damage to
somebody.
WAD some power the giftie gie us to see
ourselves as men's mothers see us—but
it wouldn't make us happy.
ONE reason why a dainty little thing like
a woman wastes her love on man-creature
with a rough chin, stubbly hair and a
smell of tobacco about his clothes is that
he is the only thing in that line.
A MAN will forgive a woman for almost
any indiscretion sooner than for leaving
her hair in the comb and for breaking the
Ten Commandments sooner than for leaving
her hot curling tongs where his fingers
can get on them.
