e a street piano. ONE whiff of an onion will do more to kill love than the breaking of the ten commandments. ALL a man demands of a woman is a knowledge of what she ought not to do, what she ought not to say and what she ought not to think. All a woman need know in order to wear a halo in her husband's eyes is how to keep it on straight. [Illustration] MARRIED men should make the most successful fiction writers, because it takes a highly developed imagination to invent a different story for one's wife every night. DON'T marry a man merely because he can write nice long, soul-satisfying letters; wait until you find out if he can write equally nice long satisfactory checks. ONE man's folly is often another man's wife. THE woman who makes a man perfectly happy is the one who cares just enough to respond when he is interested and not enough to be interested when he doesn't respond. MARRIAGE is like twirling a baton, turning a handspring or eating with chopsticks; it looks so easy until you try it. [Illustration] A MARRIED woman is always impressionable, because she has become so used to a total abstinence from flattery that a compliment from a man goes to her head like wine to the head of the teetotaler. REFINEMENT is what makes a man turn on his heel and go off to the club instead of staying at home and having a good, old-fashioned row with his wife. THE man who keeps his sentiment bottled up and his money lying in the bank is so narrow that he wouldn't take a broad view of anything, even if he saw it on a bargain counter at half price. THE biggest, boldest man that ever lived is built like a barge, and any little woman who puffs up steam enough can attach him to her and tow him all the way up the river of life. [Illustration] A MAN is always able to restrain his jealousy as long as his wife wears untrimmed cotton flannel lingerie. TAKE a spoonful of violet perfume, a pound or so of lace, a dash of music, and serve under a summer moon--and almost any man will call it "love." A WIFE always feels perfectly safe in going driving with her husband, because she knows by sad experience that he will devote both hands and all his attention to the horses. A MAN whom wild horses cannot drag from the path of duty will sometimes get so tangled up in a pink ribbon that he will trip and fall right out of it. KISSES are love's assets, quarrels its liabilities. [Illustration] BEAUTIES of
