He declares that an unmarried woman'S

q married womanS neck Is flexible, and

1t does not take a woman long TO find
out after she Is married that her neck
must either bend or break. and If she has
any intelligence whatever she begins

Certainly one OF the missions of mar

No man and woman can 90 through that
mill without having their egOtism, and
vanity ground to powder, and without
finding out that If they wish TO live IN
reasonable peace and happiness, they
must learn TO adjust themselves to II c
people by whom they are surrounded,
and the circumstances in which they
must live, instead OF expecting TO make
over the world and everyone into their
liking.
For this reason, married people are
nearly always more reasonable, more
amenable to argument, and easier to get
along with than single people. Nearly all
fanatics are old maids and old bachelors
