A Mere Mans Opinions.


The wise man has doubts but the
fool is always positive.
A woman never outgrows her emo
tions-she wears them out.
Most Of us have loose purse strings
when the purse is empty.
When q man starts on the down
ward path he seldom buys a return
ticket.
The easier man takes things the
easier it IS for him to let them slide.
Few men live long enough to dis
cover how much their friends appre-
ciate them.
It's seldom difficult to induce a
young widow to swap her weeds for
orange blossoms.
How beautiful handsome woman
might not look if she were to discard
her artificial makeup!
1t is dead easy for a girl to be the
village belle-in the local newspaper
report OF her wedding.
