to drown his fears and tremors.
For a woman. getting married
is an exhilarating thing, like
climbing the Golden Stair; but,
for a man. it is a desperate act,
much more like walking the
plank.
No wonder man breaks his
wedding VOWS so lightly. He
never thinks about them before
hand, is totally unconscious
while he's making them, and
forgets all about them the mo-
ment after they are spoken.
One wedding anniversary
seems to be too much for a man
to keep in his mind; but, no

versaries a modern divorcee
may have. she never forgets to
drop a little flower of memory
on each of them.
A modern woman can endure
almost anything except being
