can believe him when he vows he never kissed another woman, even though
the scent of the last girl's sachet still clings to his coat lapel.

MARRYING a woman, after you have kept her ten years waiting, is like
buying a doll that has stood too long in the showcase.

WHEN a man asks a girl for a kiss, she _has_ to refuse him, but when he
simply takes it, she has to take it, too.

NOBODY scorns a woman for marrying money or a title; what they scorn is
the sort of thing she usually marries along with it.

THE woman whom a man idealizes is the one who keeps him guessing; who

that's what most men are looking for nowadays.

IT isn't the big vague vows he makes at the altar which a man finds it
so difficult to keep or to get around, but the little foolish promises
he made before he ever got there.

IT IS as foolish to try to reform a man after he has lost his front hair
as to try to tame a lion after he has gotten his second teeth.

IT isn't the things a man says that proves he loves you, but the things
he tries to say and can't--the things that choke right up in his throat
and leave him sitting dumb and miserable on your parlor divan.

PHYSICIANS say the heart is an organ; but by the way some men manage to
grind out the same old love songs over and over again it would seem to
