When Jealousy gets busy love takes
q vacation.
Misery may love company, but cem-
pany never loves misery. -
d, If love wasn't blind the lover might
rec the dog before 1t was too late.
Three In game Of love make Il

Love will find 4 way-if the old man
Is willing to supply the grub stake.
How women love to tempt men and
then abuse them for being temptedl
It's as difficult for q man to avoid
love as It is for him to understand It.
Some folks were married and are
happy and others are married and

lead, and then partly immersing the
sulphur vessel in the molten lead. The
