married six or eight times It

"Prices don't come down."
says Quincy. "The only direc-
ton the price Of anything knows
Is upward. A lot of marryin'
women have spent years learning

can manage to get married every
year and stick to the union scale
they can in time build up an In
depedence so they can retire and
live on the interest of their
money and enjoy a little free
dom. And, as l said before, you
overlook the love element which
is always very strong in these
million-dollar ceremonies. When
a guy is in love he is willing to
hand over the whole bank roll
and he is glad if she hands the
rubber back"
"A dame is very WISE" says
Elias Q. Higginbotham, "to get
this bundle of jack before getting
married. Getting II afterward
Is task that is often beyond the
most cleverest of the female
charmers. A guy is in a differ
ent frame of mind when he is
running after a street car than
he is after he has caught it. As
for love, as l say, it is a lot of
applesauce."
"Love is a wonderful thing"
says Quincy. "When 1 and my
wife get married, twenty years
ago, it is a love match and am
