SAGE SAYINGS,

When in doubt wise man gets out if possible.
 A woman in love is mere or less fool ish; man isinvariably more.
 Usually the less amiable woman is the handsomer she thinks she is.
 A pessimist finds consolation in the fact that he wasn't born an optimist.
 If woman has a history she usually thinks it is up to her to repeat herself.
 The finger that points with pride is usually encircled with a new engage ment ring.
 Some men spend half their lime mak- ing promises and the other half in breaking them.
 A young man who undoubtedly knows whereof he speaks defines chaperon as press censor.
 If women ever break into politics they will have to hire some cheap man to nail campaign lies for them.-Chi- cago Daily News.
