What the Bachelor Says.

Love is the only real contradiction
in itself.
Men make more mistakes than wo-
men, but women make the same mis-
take oftenest.
When woman goes to get check
cashed, she always acts as if she was
buying something and wasn't sure
whether she liked 1t.
When a woman goes to party,
when she isn't wondering whether the
men like her, she is wondering wheth-
er the women like her dress.
The pleasure the average woman
gets out of getting Christmas presents
is generally balanced by the fear that
she may not be able to find out just
what some of them cost.

the berries do not need cooking only to
simmer the juice and sugar together, and
the quicker that is done the better. The
