Bachelor Girls
Reflections
BY HELEN ROWLAND.

In a mans opinion no woman wants
TO hear the truth unless II has been
spiced and sugar-coeted. until II sounds
as convincing az good lie.
What some people call love IL
merely sex-antagonism covered with n
thin coating OF passion, spiced with
romance and tied with q slender string
OF curiosity.
Most bachelors seem to regard the
flower o. love" a. a dangerous species
of poison Ivy.
There are times when q man has to
lubricate his conscience with alcohol 40
that II won't crate on his inner feelings.
A sense Of humor il the ONLY reliable
life preserver on the Sea Of Matrimopy.
Don't look for q great love in a little
minded man; no man ever saw or felt
anything bigger In this whole world
than his own soul.
The most successful men are not those
who have been inspired by wise
woman's love. but those who have per-
spired In order to crafty a foolish
woman's whims. I'D
man shows 10 the woman who loves
him too much, too long or too obviously
is to refrain from marrying her.
The masculine soul has a strip OF
wood in Il somewhere which sarcasm
can't penetrate and tears roll right off
OF.
A woman knows that she has had q
glorious time by the way her heart
throbs the next morning-a man by the
way his head throbs.
