The single man has more liberties than

to the married woman, who has NOR,
liberties than the unmarried. If money
can add to happiness. naturally a single
man will be more happy.
While the married man goes home
from the cares and troubles OF his bust

trials of his home. The bachelor goes
forth TO no such household of trials
and tribulations and little worries
AS for all the comforts OF home. -
there is no up-to-date club which does
