REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

It takes an awful lot of doctoring to h;eep truth from going into a decline. **“ The surest way to be absolutely worthless in a Job is to think you’re too good for it. Once in awhile an only child has sense in spite of the fool way its parents treat it. Pay a woman a compliment and she’d know it was flattery if it was to another woman. To read one of his love letters a year after he wrote it is beyond the heroism of any man. Heaps of stale eggs would be fresh if so many people weren’t too mean to use them while they are. It’s absolutely impossible, when a woman feels her toe going through her stocking, for her not to suspect everybody knows. \ A woman can make an unfulfilled promise go further toward her happines than a man can an accomplished fact toward his. A woman wantß everybody to believe all the nice things about her husband that she couldn’t possibly make herself believe. When a man is trying to take a nap and the flies bother him he can’t get half as mad with them as he can with his wife about it.—New York Press. Next to having to listen to the average man tell a joke the most horrible torture is to have to let him describe when he made a great hit with It — New York Press.
