Reflections OF e Bachelor.

Some mems heads are principally
| used to put their meals into.
Probably the ancient prophets never
| used 10 practice on their wives much.
The more people YOU see that other
| folks are sure are in love the less you
see that are sure of it themselves.
Marriage to the average man is a
| luxury. to the average woman it is
| only 4 necessity.
4 man Is always worth just az much
! money as he can raise to keep himself
out OF jail.
No man has any real idea of the
length Of a minute till his wife makes
him wait ten Of them before he takes
| off a mustard plaster.
When two women first see each
other each one always wonders
whether the other one is married;
when it's two men. each wonders what
the other one is worth.
\ man never really loves a woman
till he loves her too Wei 10 try to teach
her to play whist.
At certain periods every girl has 50
many soul-yearnings that she has
hardly room for a square meal.
If there is anything at all in the
transmigration theory. it is probable
that every woman has at some time
been a eat.
The reason why married man can
never go down to business the day be-
fore his wife comes back from visit
is because he has to stay at home To
va !, all : 10 i-l, h, 49,
The main difference between lunatics
and other people is that lunatics have
no fads.
When YOU get close enough most of
the deepest footprints on the sands %
time look pigeon toed.
If the men ran things for three
weeks the human race would be eating
off wooden dishes that they could put
into the fire after each meal.
In his heart, every man thinks about
once a week that his wife was a fool
for marrying him. and the rest Of the
time that he was fool for marrying
her.
a woman may sometimes admit that
she did wrong, but she will never adj
nit that there wasn't a good excuse
for it.
If you want to find out to dead GER
tainty whether women are angels ask
an angel.
If Romeo had slipped off the balcony
and caught by his heels things might
have happened differently.
The average woman gets her first
impression of masculine hypocrisy
from the things her husband tells her
about the other men she knows
With her husband the ayera sc
woman seems to act if she thought
she didn't need to be tender of his feel
ings because she loves him
The Hindoos have some pretty sensi-
BILE ideas. They say that a devil first
Invented a woman. but that it was his
wife who first thought of moonlight
After girl has tried to say goodby
tenderly to a man she always gets be
hind the window curtains to see how
he looks as he goes out of the gate.
Man loves what he is not sure he has
got: woman loves what she is sure she
has not got
The only thing that keeps a woman
from winning every argument she gets
INTO is her unwillingness to cry and
have red eyes.
The woman who prays for her hus-
band may not have any better luck
than the one who scolds hers. but she
Is lot more comfortable to live with.

A pretty story is told at Vienna about
Archduchess Valerie, youngest daugh-
ter of the emperor. 1t seems that when
travelling the other day from Linz to
Vienna she noticed on the platform at
Linz 14-year-old schoolboy crying bit
tsrly. She had the conductor bring the
Lad to her compartment and, finding
that he was proceeding to Vienna to
attend his fathers funeral, she insisted
On his travelling with her, paying the
difference In his fare, as he had only a
third-class ticket. During the trip she
devoted herself to the task of comfort
ing him, telling the boy, among other
things, that she, too, had suffered much
from the loss of fondly loved parent,
who had died suddenly in a foreign
land. 1t was only when the boy reached
Vienna and was leaving the train that
he discovered that the kind lady was
Archduchess Valerie.
