JACQUELINE

By Therese Bentzon (Mme. Blanc)

A familiarity which, had he known it,
was not flattering
A mother's geese are always swans
As we grow older we lay aside harsh
judgments and sharp words
Bathers, who exhibited themselves in
all degrees of ugliness
Blow which annihilates our supreme
illusion
Death is not that last sleep
Fool (there is no cure for that
infirmity)
Fred's verses were not good, but they
were full of dejection
Great interval between a dream and its
execution
Hang out the bush, but keep no tavern
His sleeplessness was not the insomnia
of genius
Importance in this world are as easily
swept away as the sand
Music--so often dangerous to married
happiness
Natural longing, that we all have, to
know the worst
Notion of her husband's having an
opinion of his own
Old women--at least thirty years old!
Pride supplies some sufferers with
necessary courage
Seemed to enjoy themselves, or made
believe they did
Seldom troubled himself to please any
one he did not care for
Small women ought not to grow stout
Sympathetic listening, never having
herself anything to say
The bandage love ties over the eyes of
men
The worst husband is always better than
none
This unending warfare we call love
Unwilling to leave him to the repose he
needed
Waste all that upon a thing that nobody
will ever look at
Women who are thirty-five should never
weep
