4 few women wear well. But most
of them wear off.
When they are first married they
have TO hug ana kiss for ten minutes
In the hall before he can leave the
house to go TO work. But about n year
later. when he says goodby in the morn
ing. sho turns one side OF her face to
him ana he pecks at it with his lips
as If he was afraid lie might touch 1t
ana get poisoned.
Next to paying an old bar bill. pay
ing for n suit OF clothes after 1t is
worn out is the hardest Job.
Why is 1t that you can't get n bald.

a woman and photograph can al
ways speak for themselves.
\ man never gets any credit. If he
talks In his sleep and says nice things
about his wife she knows that he is
just pretending to be asleep and is
handing out n little salve because he
knows she is listening.
The reason why the debutante in a
self made family likes to hear her
mother tell people about the time when
she took IN washing is because II
tickles her all over TO hear her father
tell his friends about how they used
TO live in one room and had to use the
bed rs dining table.
There are not many sure things In

you will never get 81 100000 by sitting

a single woman speaks OF 1.-THE din

But n married woman speaks OF my

Lots of men who whip their children
