query was propounded by a young
southern woman here. You can al.

ried man who shows you all the small
oourtesies In an elevator: IL is a mar.
ried man who stands up for you in
the street car. and IL is a married man
who does all the chores at a picnic.
The most thoughtless. irresponsible
kind of a single man often becomes
a yeritable model OF amiability after
he gets him wife. I suppose his wife
has so drummed good manners into
him that he has TO keep practising all
the time to keep In trim. I believe
business men have more respect for
married man. too. They succeed
better In everything they do. Why.
only the other day there was a base
ball game between the married men
and the single men. Who won? The
married men. OF course. And you
can't tell me their wives did not have
something to do with it."-PhiladeI.
