Bachelor Girl's
Reflections
By HELEN ROWLAND.


The engagement Is the best part Of
marriage. because II means having oil
the delight OF a mans devotion without
having to forage for his meals, and all
the charm OF woman's companionship
without having to pay for her frocks
and hats.
No man will believe that there Is any
least flattered and pleased n he should
MAKE love to her-and probably there
isn't.
A man Is perfectly willing to let his
wife amuse herself with housekeeping,
culture, children. religion. poetry, and
all that sort of nonsense while nc in
terests himself in golf, baseball, poker
and all the really serious things OF life.
