rst guess is apt to be as good as your last. A MAN'S idea of success is to be able to run his business by touching the electric button at the side of his desk. MAN is a mysterious chemical combination; add matrimony and you never can tell what he will turn into. [Illustration] THERE is nothing which falls with such a dull sickening thud on a man's vanity as his wife's dead silence after he has made one of his characteristically brilliant remarks. IT IS always a shock to a girl when her fiance's sister takes her into his den and she sees her photograph standing on the mantelpiece between an actress in green tights and a cigarette ad. A GIRL who has a brother has a great advantage over one who hasn't; she gets a working knowledge of men without having to go through the matrimonial inquisition in order to acquire it. A MAN always pats himself on the back when he has composed a letter that breathes devotion, but would not be negotiable in a breach of promise suit. [Illustration] THERE is nothing so easy for a man as forgetting; he scarcely takes time to throw a shovelful of dirt on the grave of a dead love before he is off pursuing a new one. TO a man love is only a side dish; to a woman it's the whole feast. THERE are few men constituted strong enough romantically to stand a daily diet of kisses, without getting sentimental nausea. GENIUS, like anything else, needs distance to lend it enchantment; and the longer you are married to one, the more distance you are likely to give him. BEFORE marrying a man, ask yourself if you could love him if he lost his front hair, went without a collar, smoked an old pipe, and wore a ready-made suit; all of these things are likely to happen. [Illustration] IT'S a funny thing about being in love, that the minute a man begins to get serious he begins to get foolish. A HUSBAND always expects his wife to look up to him, even if she has to get down on her knees to do it. COURTING is like cooking; you've got to be born with the knack; brains don't take the prizes and theory doesn't count. THE greatest proof that marriage is not a failure is that widows and widowers are always anxious to try it again. THE only way to be happy with a husband is to believe everything he tells you--even when you know it isn't so. IN love, a man's interest in the game is always deeper than his interest in the girl.
