REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
 Next to taxes, wedding gifts seem to be the sorest trial.
 Engaged couples can become sane again by getting married.

We get so used to appropriating other peoples principles that we appropriate their lack of principles, too. Every girl owes 1t to herself to be good looking-but some girls are unable to pay.
