Bachelors Dreams
Not Always Gay

The bachelor has no one TO come
And take his pocketbook away;
Into his ears a tune to hum
About a lot of bills to pay.
No one disturbs his evening smoke
To retail little household news,
Nor does it always keep him broke
In buying active children shoes. .
He doesn't have to think about
A lot of little household cares.
When in the evening he goes out
No one is waiting on the stairs.
He doesn't have to rise by night
When he for sleep is most insane
And stub his toes and scratch a light
Because the baby has a pain.
And vet 1 wonder if his dream
Is really such a pleasant one, .-
And If in gliding down the stream.
OF life he has lot of fun.

When in his .stuffy, lonely den,

For poor, downtrodden family men.

been given a good reason by the aunt
herself.
These are not the days when girls
were forced to marry men they did not
love and as the old quotation says,
Cupid usually laughs at lOcksmiths any
way.
Haven't you a mutual friend, either
girl or man, who might go and see
your sweetheart and carry her a mes
sage or note to find out whether she
really loves you?
If she does, don't let her relatives
stand between you, unless they have a
good reason for doing so. If you think
your letters to her are intercepted, why
not get some one else to address the
envelope? It's an old trick. but often
successful. But, there being spinster,
! suppose | should side with the fam
ily, not the lovers.
However, ! can and do bid you have
patience, for love will find a way every
time.
Don't, however. plan an elopemcnt, or
anything of that sort, for hasty and
secret marriages seldom turn out hap
pily.
Show the family plainly that you love
her and want to marry her, and win
their respect by your dignity, patience
and perseverance.

And the baby hater seems to be
