Men: An Essay.

Contributed by an indignant

of the fancied~superiority of tie
male
Men are what women marry.
They have two feet, two hands, ard
sometimes two wives; but never
more than one collar or one idea a;
a time.
Like Turkish cigarettes, men are
all made of the same material; the
only difference is that some are. a
little better disguised than others.
Generally speaking, they may be
divided into three classes; husbands
bachelors and widowers.
Bachelors come in two varieties,
eligible and ineligible,
An eligible bachelor is body of
vanity, completely surrounded by
women.
An ineligible bachelor is mass
of obstinacy entirely surrounded by
suspicion.
Husbands are of three varieties:
prizes, surprizes and consolation
prizes.
Making a husband out of man
is one OF the highest plastic arts
known to civilization. 1t requires
science, sculpture, commonsense,
faith, hope and charity-especially
charity.

band is Of no Importance whatevtr
