George Ade Tells Why He . Never Secured Female Boss.

u Boston Transcript;. George Ade, the man who writes the “Fables in Slang,” says he had often been asked why he never marr'ed. “I came very near marrying once. The girl was very beautiful, and I sat down at my typewriter to propose to her in a passionate love poem. The first line, of the poem ended with ‘cupid.’ I made a thorough search, but found that the only word that rhymed with ‘Cupid’ •is ‘stupid.’ This made me hesitate—and I’ve hesitated ever since.”
