The way to woman's heart leads In
the opposite direction.
Discovering bad qualities is not half
SO disappointing as good ones.
Nobody can understand a woman ex-
cept herself. and she never does 1t the
same way twice.
All the world wears a mask before
company, but woman doesn't take
hers off, even before her own looking
glass.
When a woman finds she Is growing
stout she begins to complain that she
never eats anything and that her
clothes are too large for her.
II there are two roads before wom-
an, and she knows that down the
right road is the thing she is seeking,
she will go down the left one Just to
sec 1t it might not be there by acct
