A WOMAN’S accounts of how she spent ‘the house money’ are only equalled in inventive genius by a man’s accounts of how he spent his time.
THERE ARE two sorts of lovers—those who forget and those who are forgotten.
ONE SOON gets tired of saying a thing over and over again if nobody contradicts, just as one soon gets tired of doing a thing over again if no one says one mayn’t.
LOVE IS NICE when it is new, but it wears badly and is impossible to renovate.
EVEN THE MOST upright man may be tempted by a recumbent woman.
A WOMAN may have no reticence about her ankle or even her knee if it is pretty, but she will never show her hand.
EVERYONE must take chances and if they turn out right they are renamed opportunities.
A MAN will forgive a woman doing everything at his expense except making a joke.
SOME MEN consider marriage an unnecessary expense, and some men simply won’t consider it at all.
MANY a woman has waited patiently for years until the man could afford to marry her, and then he won’t wait patiently for five minutes while she puts her hat on.
