POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

A smart man is one who agrees
with a woman-so she thinks.
In this era of expensive living tho
father of ten children has a strenu-
Gus job.
Merely loving a woman doesn't sat
ify her; she wants you to make love
to her.
A man who insists that he's Just as
good as you are may not be extra
good at that.
How giddy girl does enjoy making
a man keep on trying to kiss her
when she won't let him.
It's n good thing for man to bump
up against the proof OF his own unim-
portance occasionally.
You wonder why you have more
trouble than other people. and they
wonder why you have less trouble
than they do.-Chicago News.
