s tired of the girl. HUSBANDS are like Christmas gifts: you can't choose them; you've just got to sit down and wait until they arrive and then appear perfectly delighted with what you get. THE beauty of variety in love or wine is that the moment a man discovers a new brand or a new girl, he forgets all about the others and honestly believes that he is tasting the real thing for the first time. MATRIMONY should not be a prison but a privilege, and husbands and wives should not be jailors but jolliers. THAT lump which a man feels in his throat when he is about to propose is the "don't" lump. [Illustration] A MAN may read everything that ever was written about women and yet not know enough to avoid asking his wife a question when her mouth is full of pins. THE oftener a man falls in love, the more easily and gracefully he does it; exercise seems to keep the heart in good working condition.

DON'T worry for fear you may freeze a man's love out; the colder the wind you blow upon it, the higher you fan the flames. THE saddest thing about married life is the opportunity it gives two otherwise agreeable people for telling one another the disagreeable truth. [Illustration] THERE never was a man big and strong enough to get out his clean shirt and collar and fix the water for his bath. IT'S when the game becomes a trifle stale that a man begins to feel conscientious qualms about flirting with a woman. THE woman who pins her faith to a man won't find a safety-pin strong enough to stand the strain. IN love, the best way to erase one face from the tablet of memory is to draw another across it. A MAN'S ideal woman is the one he couldn't get. A MAN may feel like a brute at taking a kiss from a
