REFLECTIONS OF ABACHELOR
Not all men are bad, not all
women good.
The greatest passion in the world
is vanity; the most powerful weapon
hattery.
There is no age at which a
moman's heart will not melt to the
man who smiles upon her.
Beware the man who approaches
you with the promise that he has
come to do you a favor.
1t is the little things that tell. A
man who is facing bankruptcy and
dishonor with a courageous smile
will fly into Mysteries when he can't
get his collar buttoned.

standing women when some one can
explain how a woman will think a
matinee hero is like god, and yet
have her blood run cold at the
thought of her son being like him.
