AT q Wedding.

They have saw in Afghanistan
to the effect that the next best thing to
no wife is a good wife.
The Senegalese declare that there
are only two good women i'm the world
one is dead and the other can't be
found.
The Chinese hold that If a man
lose his bride and a yen, he'll regret
the yen. A yen's about tenth of a
cent.
But more comforting, far more
comforting than these proverbs, is the
wise saying of Don Quixote that
there's only one good woman in all the
world, and every husband ought to
think that his wife is she.
