A LITTLE WISDOM

You can turn a crank down, but he always turns up.

The man who draws on his imagination should not overlook to pin “no protest” to his draft The world expects a man to make a fool of himself over a woman, but it never forgives a woman who makes a fool of herself over a man. To know thyself is wisdom; to know how not to impart that knowledge to others —that’s cleverness. Marry for money, and you wish you had qiarried for love; marry for love, and you wish you had married for money. True consistency is a jewel, apd the most charming women display the least jewelry. Love in a cottage is romantic, but no mere woman objects to rose-col-ored silk curtains at the windows. You can’t tell a man’s character by his clothes, but you can often judge a woman’s lack of it by hers. There is but one thing worse than ignorance and that is incorrect knowledge.—Smart Set
