EpIarams from ne Advles q Fools.

Democracics are merely incon-
sistencies.
Men rule the world and the women
rule the men.
Clever women are usually taken in
by men: 1t Is the silly women who take
men in.
There Is but one thing so deceptive
as pretty woman's smile, and that is
her words.
Pretty women are not all insincere;
some are merely inconstant.
Inc consistency OF pretty woman
depends very much upon the man she
falls in love with.
Truths are always trite because they
are always so apparent; it is only u
brilliant lie which dazzles.
Annanias was clumsy tyro. Diplo-
macy had not been invented in his day.
An ambitious man should be a
bachelor. Then he can rise by flirting
with the wives Of the men in power.
A clever pauper needs money, not
brains, in a wife.
In Europe a lover is a conqueror who
drags willing captive at his chariot
wheels; in America he is a tame pussy
cat who is allowed to purr at con-
venient moments.
In Europe a woman would die 20
times for the man she loves. In
America she might die if she were not
loved by 20 men at the same time.
Love woman with an intellect if
you want to be wretched; marry one If
you want to be successful
The greatness of many a man is
merely the possession of clever wife
A rake makes the best of husbands,
he has had so many opportunities for
studying the role.
If there be a woman who does no.
wish to be admired it is one whose soul
is deadened by neglect, one who re-
Allies her own responsiveness.
Every woman deep in her heart loves
a hero.
Success is the only attainable goal in
this world. and even that is precarious
Being too old to have women falling
in love with me l try to keep them
from falling in love with others.
Any fool can fall in love. 1t takes
wise man to fall on his feet
For woman marriage is inevitable.
for man it is insanity.
A woman almost invariably marries
the wrong man.
A woman is often obedient to the
man she hates and obdurate to him she
loves.
Love is sometimes a question of
preference. more often a predicament.
This is the age OF persistent parvenus
and perverted peers.
The parvenu Of today is the peer Of

In feudal days the aristocracy owned
the money; now the money owns the
aristocracy.
The ancestors of society's insolvent
blue bloods stole cattle, butchered men
and bought titles for themselves. while
our millionaires rob men, butcher
cattle and buy titles for their daugh-
tiers. a difference merely of age and
opportunity.
