REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

IFrom the New York Press.1
About the point where bashfulness
ends begins immodesty.
The best argument in favor of women
wearing trousers is that they aren't
bowlegged like men.
There wouldn't be so many marriages
if men didn't run such big risks pro-
posing when they expect to be refused.
Probably Lot was behind his wife and
she turned to ask him if he was sure
he hadn't forgotten to bring the latch
key.
A man can never understand how a
woman who is undressed can have so
little shame before her servants.
A man can think a lot more than he
says and a woman can say a lot more
than she thinks.

q woman cry to think of something
she might have said if she had only
thought of it in time.
