SHE HOLDS IT UP TO THE
Non-MarryinS Man

off what treasure her husband has
secured to the man who was his friend
before the prize was won. She fairly
coddles him! And he likes it. When
he lounges and smokes, he appreciates
her dreamy playing. He drags up q
few Of the graceful little compliments
that he can toss away and never miss
They are the settlement of his debt
to her.
AS he says himself-why should he
marry? Beca use he loves, some girl
answers. He certainly does. He loves
hard. The fervor OF his devotion never
wavers. AS time passes and he is pet

his passion grows. Till the day arrives
when he can think of nothing, can con-
slider no one but-HIMSELF.
"A Man of the World
He seems to act as a lure TO q eood
many women. Romantic girls get the
idea that he is "a man of the world"
and therefore fascinating. He prob
ably Is. too. Married women who want
a harmless Irritation regard him as
good subject. He Is that, too! And
mothers with daughters always think
OF the old saying that when a bache-
lor DOES lose his heart, his head and
his pocketbook go with it." So he gets
the attention from all of them.
And, after a while, when he gets to
be a bald old bore and begins to feel
bit lonely, all he has to do Is to
skip on to some summer resort ano
marry a rich widow.
But who's to blame for his egotisti-
