SAYINGS OF
MRS. SOLOMON.
By Helen Rowland
Secondhand Husbands


CONSIDER. my Daughter, how
" blessed is she that weddeth
a secondhand husband!
Yea; how thrice blessed is she
that becometh a mans SECOND
wife!
For. verify, she reapeth all the
profits Of marriage and escapeth
all of its shocks and surprises.
Behold, by the Lord is man
created. BY his mother is ne
modelled. But, by his FIRST
wife is he RE-modeled, tanned and
civilized.
10, mans First Wife is the
steam-roller which straightforward
him out and smootheth down all
his ways-the yacuum-cleaner
removeth all his spots and blem-
ishes and bringeth out his natural
color.
She is the ice.bag which re-.
duceth his egotism and subdueth
his self-complacency; the mirror
which maketh him to see him,
self without rose-colored illusions.
She spongeth out his past and
disinfecteth his record she map.
