Reflections OF a Bachelor.

woman's only hold on man is his
hold on her.
People never get eccentric till after
they get money. AS long as they are
poor they are just plain fools.
II Is only step for a woman between
putting red paint on her face and steal
ing other women's hatpins.
When a woman admits to a man that
she mas never been proposed to, she al
ways tries TO say it like it wasn't true
and expects him to act like he didn't be-
lieve it.
You can never judge a mans character
by the way he judges yours.
When one girl wants to make another
girl mad she asks her what on earth
makes her nose look so red.
The average woman would rather bring
up an orphan child than take care Of an
other woman's palm for two weeks. while
she is away visiting
a woman can afford to be jealous of
her husband only as long as he is jealous
Of her.
When man is contented his old age
begins to be youthful before his youth
begins to be old.
Men are more honest than women;
when man has a bald spot If it is big
ger than a silver dollar, he admits it.
Having love affairs is like fishing for
bull-heads; YOU always count on cutting
up the first to catch another bigger one
with.
a woman will believe anything If you
tell it 10 her at the right time, and disbe-
lieve anything if you tell it to her at the
wrong time.
While a girl is engaged it always
makes her mad 10 have her mother talk
about putting a mustard plaster on her
fathers chest.-New York Press.
