For young men who are thinking of
marriage:
Select the girl
A gree with the girls father in politics
and the mother in religion.
If you have rival, keep an eye on him;
If he is a widower, two eyes on him.
Don t swear to the girl that you have no
bad habits. 1t Will be enough for you to
say that you never heard yourself snore IN
your sleep.
Don't put much sweet stuff on paper II
you do, yon viii hear it read in after
years, when your wife has some especial
purpose in iEfiicting upon you the severest
punishment known TO married. man.
Cfo home at Il reasonable hour in the
evening. Don't wait till the girl has to
throw her whole soul into yawn that she
can't cover with both hands. A little
thing like that may cause a GOODNESS at
the very beginning of the game.
If while wearing your new summer
trousers for the first time you sit down
on some molasses candy that little Willie
has left the chair, smile sweetly and
remark that you don't mind sitting on
nolasses candy at all, and that boys Will
be boys Reserve your true feelings for
future reference.
If on the occasion of your first call the
girl upon whom you have placed yOur
young affections looks like Az iceberg and
acts like cold wave, take your leave ear
" and stay away Woman in her hours
OF freeze is uncertain, coy and hard to
please
In cold weather finish saying good night
in the house. Don't stretch it all the way
to the front gate, and thus lay the founda-
ton for future asthma, bronchitis, neu-
ralgia and chronic catarrh TO help you to
worry the girl to death after she has mar
ried you.
Don t lie about your financial condition
It is very annoying to a bride who has
pictured for herself a life of luxury in her
ancestral halls to learn too late that you
expect her t., ask baIdheaded parent who
has been uniformly kind to her to take
you in out OF the cold
Don't be too soft. Don't say. '.These
little hands shall never do a stroke of work
when they are mine, - and, You shall
have nothing to do in our home but to sit
