fun lasts. SOME men think that by putting on a silk hat and a white Ascot tie they are disguised as gentlemen. [Illustration] THE average man is about as good a judge of women as a woman is of race horses; he picks the favorites by their shape and color. LOVE is like gambling; you want to be sure that you are a good loser before you go in for the game. A MAN'S idea of honor is so peculiar; he would die rather than steal a friend's money or cheat him at cards, but he will steal his wife or cheat him out of his daughter with perfect equanimity. WHEN you see what some girls marry, you realize how they must hate to work for a living. FLIRTATION is like a cocktail with no headache in it, champagne with no "next morning." [Illustration] ALL men are the same after ten years of matrimony; they all smell of cloves and tobacco, talk in monosyllables, and tell the same stories when they come home late.

IT'S a wise woman that knows how little she knows about her husband. ONE advantage of a bull-dog over a baby is that you are not haunted by the fear that he will grow up to be just like his father. THE way to a man's heart is a zig-zag road, leading through his stomach twice around his vanity, across his discretion and straight over his determination not to marry. FAILING to be "there" when a man wants her, is the greatest sin a woman can commit--except being there when doesn't want her. [Illustration] THE best men always seem to get the worst wives and vice versa; that's Nature's little way of spreading the virtues and the vices around equally, like the jam and the butter on the bread. A MAN'S idea of being "master" in his own house is asserting his right to put his muddy feet on the best divan and his pipe ashes on the parlo
