REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

A woman expects romance out of love and gets housekeeping. An extra easy way to get married is not to be able to afford it. A man might much better lose his latchkey than forget bis excuse. A man gets either despised for hia adversity or bated for his prosperity. •mmm The trouble with family picnics is they last so much longer than funerals. Even a« woman school teacher is gl&d to have a man try to teach her the alphabet. Getting along with a wife on any terms is much more comfortable than trying to boss her. The more a man can lie down town about how well his-furnace works the more he can cuss it at home. The reason some women can be so affectionate with their husbands is it sets a good example to the children. The way a man explains to his wife how a sinking fund works for public bonds it might as well be a flying machine.
