Every bachelors life ii tor
mented and embittered by the
women who are trying to t'marry
him of. The dangerous woman
in his path is not the temptress
or the wild woman, but the inno-
cent looking matron who wants
him to meet that sweet girl
The very sight Of an eligible
bachelor Is to g woman ike 2
call to arms. The very twinkle
OF challenge In his eyes rouses
ali her fighting instinct, and
makes her blood tingle for the
hunt.
Men are what women MARRY!
A bachelor has no place or pur-
pose In life, except as somebody's
future husband.
To find a perfectly good poterl.
tial husband, hanging around
loose, carefree and unclaimed, in
a world full of hope chests all
ready and waiting, seems to any
woman sheer wanton waste.
Nearly all men marry, sooner
or Iater-usua1ly sooner than they
expected and later than the
woman intended.
But, the average man is so
afraid of skidding into matri-
mony, that he sprinkles the path
of romance with tacks instead OF
with flowers-and makes love with
both hands on the wheel and his
eye on the traffic signals.
He could hold out forever
against any woman who tried to
lure him or pull him into mar
riage: but it's all the OTHER
women who are trying to PUSH
him into it, that finally break
down his resistance and gently
ease him to the altar, willyntlly.
