himself a martyr if he resists a boiled onion. THE sentiment a society woman wastes in baby-talk to her dog and the money a society man wastes on gasoline for his automobile would keep half a dozen babies in love and milk. A CYNIC can always find flaws in a woman and weeds in a rose garden. THE lower a man's forehead, the higher his collar. NO matter how much a man dislikes children before marriage, after marriage he always imagines that he is going to improve on the human race. [Illustration] A GIRL'S idea of a proposal of marriage is so different from any she ever gets, that, even after she is married she often wonders how it happened. VENUS may have been the most popular lady of her time; but it takes a clever huntress, like Diana, to get any attention nowadays.

MATRIMONY is a see-saw; and the secret of happiness lies in keeping yourself so carefully balanced that you neither fly into the air nor come down with a sickening thud. THE softer a man's head, the louder his socks. [Illustration] FROM the latest divorce cases it appears that as soon as a married couple get rich enough to keep two automobiles they at once begin to travel separate roads. DON'T think your husband has ceased to love you merely because he has begun to lie to you; it's when he stops taking the trouble to whitewash himself that you have real grounds for that suspicion. MANY a woman thinks she has married a hero until she tries to get him to go out and reason with the janitor. A GOOD husband may be the "salt of the earth," but he often seems more like the pepper.
