jam, a young man's of cigarettes and a husband's of cocktails. OF course people can't carry their party manners into marriage; but if they could, marriage would be more like a party and less like a prize fight. SOME marriages of convenience turn out to be about the most inconvenient things that could possibly have happened. WHEN perfect frankness comes in at the door love flies out of the window. MIGHT as well hail a Broadway car on the wrong side of the street as to hail a man on the wrong side of his vanity. [Illustration] DIVORCE is getting to be as painless as dentistry. Two people pack each other's trunks, genially shake hands farewell, wish each other luck, and then go off to Europe while the lawyers fight it out. A MAN forgets all about how to make love after ten years of matrimony; but it's wonderful how quickly he can get into practice again after his wife dies.

A MAN'S idea of an engagement is a chance to find out whether or not he really enjoys kissing that particular girl. IT'S not his understanding of the plot of the opera that makes a man appreciate it, but the "understanding" of the chorus ladies. [Illustration] A MAN thinks that by marrying a woman he proves he loves her, and that therefore nothing more need ever be said about it. THE average man looks on matrimony as a hitching post where he can tie a woman and leave her until he comes home nights. THERE is nothing so uninteresting to a a man as a contentedly married woman. A MAN'S sweethearts are like his cigars; he has many of each of them, loves each one as tenderly as the preceding, and
