1t is the brain arteries that are
almost always involved and the
symptoms that result depend upon
the arteries affected and the
nerves which are pressed upon
by the clot which forms either
inside the blood vessel or outside
the blood vessel when 1t has burst
and caused hemorrhage into the
brain tissue.
There are, Of course. many va

husband would enjoy making love

The biggest thrill of a modern
young couples lives is when the
first little stranger arrives. No.
/ don't mean the first baby.
mean the first little roadster. or
the first little sport car.
Women weep at weddings be-
cause they have subconscious
feeling that one more pats of
sweet young things is writing

Of Romance.

tell, just by the way a man

he's gentleman trying to say,
Pardon me, please"-or a tin

Get off the earthv
It's what you see in a man that
makes you fall in love with him;
but it's what you OVERLOOK
that helps you to keep on being
in love with him.
The funniest thing I'm the world
Is to hear q brand.neW bridegroom
and a hard.boiled old bachelor
solemnly enlightening each other
as to how to run a woman.
Most mothers and fathers wake
up these days to discover that
they are loved just like a traffic
cop.
Bachelor: The widows conso-

A modern man would no more
think Of turning around to stare

turning around to stare after q
beautifully shaped taxicab.
A woman's idea Of ENOUGH
