RULES FOR A MAN WHO Is CON.
TEMPLATlNe MATRiMoNY.

Facts to ascertain when meeting an
attractive young woman with whom
you may fall IN love.
Is she selfish? You can tell this IN
three ways. BY the manner In which
she listens to what you say; by the
way she accepts what you do for her.;
and by the difference between the way
she treats you and the way she treats
others.
Is she tickle? If she talks about
light things she isn't Deep, she Is.
Is she extrayagant? BY the way
she protests against your spending
money on her, and always arranges
matters SO that you cant help but
do 1t.
Is she bad housekeeper? BY the
way she dresses. If she isn't spic
and span, she isn't. II she Is, then
she is.
THE SOLUTION
When you have satisfied your mind
that she is all Of these things, marry
her at once, If you can get her fol
