ntil he finds out she likes him ever so much; then like cures like. See "Simple Homoeopathy." PROPOSING is like making welsh-rarebit; there isn't any reliable recipe for it and you can only tell whether or not you have done properly by the way it turns out. AFTER a man has seen you cry two or three times it ceases to move him--except to move him out of the house. THE color of a friend's finger nails or his socks has very much more weight with a snob than the color of his soul or his reputation. IF a man would stick to his wife as he sticks to his seat in a street car, there wouldn't be much need for an alimony bureau. [Illustration] AN old bachelor's looks may be well preserved, but his heart is always embalmed. IT takes an awfully big man to own up to his wife that he was a little at fault in a quarrel. WHEN a man gets a wife who makes him happy, he lays it to his perspicacity; when he doesn't, he lays it on fate.

WHAT a girl, who would be really popular, should do, is to wave a red danger flag at a man and then start to run in the opposite direction. THERE are some men who regard their wives' accomplishments with the same patronizing complacency that they feel toward the tricks of the educated monkey at the circus. DON'T always imagine that the man and woman who walk side by side without speaking to each other are angry; they may be only married. MASCULINITY covereth a multitude of sins. [Illustration] THE man who whips his small son for lying to shield a girl, has a mental vision as narrow as a Rocky Mountain path and side walls of dogmatism as high as the Colorado Canyon. SATAN and Cupid are chums, who go about together looking for people who have nothing to do. MANY a woman has divorced her husband for "desertion" who cheerfully helped pack his trunk and pay for his railway ticket when he left her. A MAN'S conscience is made of India rubber--warranted to stretch as long as the
