n and the Apollo Belvidere ever stooped to marry an insignificant little thing like you. IT'S the hours a woman spends making frocks that her husband never looks at, and the hours a man spends making jokes that his wife never laughs at, that make the matrimonial years drag so heavily. THE reason that a woman who takes the downward path has so much attention is that there are so many men going that way. A MAN makes a virtue of necessity when he prides himself on his devotion to a wife who is so fascinating that he can't help it. [Illustration] A MAN'S wife, like any other sort of stimulant, ceases to have that exhilarating effect after she has become a steady diet. NO MAN knows the shock that a woman receives when she finds that she has got to live up to a standard that is half angel and half cook. MEN declare they admire common sense in a woman; but a physical culturist with a perfect digestion and a thirty-inch waist hasn't a chance in the world against a foolish, unhealthy little thing in a French corset, a princess frock and open-work stockings.

[Illustration] A LITTLE knowledge makes a man a fool--but it makes a woman suspicious. THE best way to cure a man's love is to return it with interest--and then watch him lose the interest. A MAN seldom escapes temptation because he is so careful not to let any interesting temptations escape him. SELF-SACRIFICE is the soul of love, and a real soul-mate is one who is willing to get up and take the milk off the dumb-waiter, wait until you have finished with the morning paper and give you the seat nearest the radiator. IT must be awful to live with a man after you have reformed him and he has become so superlatively good that you don't feel superior to him any more. [Illustration] GOOD husbands are like tracts, comforting but uninteresting; the other kind are like dime novels, exciting, but apt to keep you in a constant fever of dread, anticipation and curiosity. IF a woman were like a serial novel and a man could read only one chapter at a time, honeymoons would last forever. A MAN doesn't demand common sense from a woman; he is satisfied with incense. WHEN a girl marries a man because he is the best she can do it is the irony of fate to have him bla
