Reflections
OF Bachelor Girl, by Helen
Rowland

What every girl would like for
Christmas: Something to pet. about
six feet high, wrapped in blue or
khaki. and garnished with a sprig of
mistletoe.
Just because man "loved you once"
is no reason that you should expect
him to love you always. In a mans
opinion, "once" is enough to love any
woman.
The charm of some women, like the
charm of a Christmas turkey, is usual
ly about SO per cent in the dressing.
Love Is like a wave. Try to dodge 1t
and it will bowl you over: dash right
into it and you MAY come out on the
other side safe and sane.
Eve was the only woman who ever
got what every woman wants-the
complete and undivided attention of
the only man in the world"
When q married man becomes en-
tangled in sentimental affair he tells
his wife that he was "dra ggcd" into
| 1t. and the other woman that he was
ragged into it-and yet men wonder
why women hate each other.
The only way to get a really artistic
proposal of marriage from any man In
| these material days Is to write 1t out
for him and make him say it over
after you.
When a man starts out to fascinate
a woman he doesn't know which
! frightens him more, the thought that
| she won't take him seriously or the
| thought that she will.
Some people seem to think that their
| opinions will get moths in them II
they 4are not constantly being. aired.
Genius Is the ability to make other
| people furnish the money to carry out
Your plans.
