REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

Most girls are hero worshipers till
they meet one.
Probably the most unhappy girl in
the world Is the one whose teeth ache
every time she eats candy.
A girl always comes away from a
house party with either a terrible quar-
rel or an idea for a new waist.
Any man will admit that he can't
make bread, but no woman will admit
that she can't understand politics.
A mother would sometimes do better
IL she spent less time teaching her
daughter when she ought to be lady
and more time teaching her when she
ought to be woman.
When man secs his wife really
angry he says it is foolish to lose her
temper like that; when he gets the
same way himself he says there is q
point where patience ceases to be n
virtue.-N. Y. Press
