Sulen-He'H Get Tired of That after Atuhile

and nfter everybody had left you to
your own disagreeable self YOU kept up
the frown until you discovered that no
body cared whether you were sulleu
or not. Then it got tiresome, didn't it?
You didn't see how you could ever
make peace with honor.N So you kept on
being hostile until you got so lonely
that you just had TO go get n forgiving
smile from Mother.
That's the way it will be with this
after while. Youth has no time, you
know, for man with Il perpetual
"grouch."

of your friends will say. Hes so bit
ter about everything, and if you mem

"Oh, he's still pitying himself about
that one girl that threw him over, the
other will answer in deep disgust. "Yoi

who ever had the experience, or TINT
she was the last remaining girl in the

you out of festivities.
DIETER begin to try that smile
- out now, Old Bachelor, before the
long drawn out cynical lines get so deep
that they crack when you try to spread
them the other way. And don't forget
that if you do give up to this desolate,
nobody loves me and I'll never never
love anybody feeling, you're virtually
giving that one girl the satisfaction Of
knowing that she meant so much to you
that your whole life is spoiled with
out her. Remember that your frowns
and glooms and threats don't bother
anybody but your own self-and way
down deep, they really don't satisfy
you, do they? Wouldn't you just love
TO make pretty speech to a girl aud
then laugh in the good old foolish way?

A CERTAIN old bachelor has been
"A proudly claiming that he is through
with women. While he was overseas
the girl to whom he was engaged and
with whom he was very much in love
married another man. His heart was
broken, and now he refuses all the
pleadings of his friends to forget that
one girl and remember that there are
others in the world He detests women
and will do all that he can TO make
them uncomfortable. Incidentally, there
is another point that he does not real
ize and would hate to confess.
T am going to show you up, "Old
Bachelor" and tell the truth about you.
Your spirit is broken. You have let
mere woman, one of those things
that you despise so, break You down

hurt her to know that you have given
up all women just because you loved
