ext temptation. Most bachelors regard the "flower of love" as a species of poison ivy. Even Satan could find a woman to call him "Dearie," if he would simply tell her that all he needed was "a beautiful woman's uplifting influence." A man may be guilty of stealing a girl's heart, but he always feels hurt and indignant if she refuses to take it back again after he has finished with it. Woman's love--a mirror in which a man beholds himself glorified, magnified and deified. Always try to be the "guiding star" of a man's life, but never make the mistake of fancying that you are his whole planetary system. A woman must keep her conscience, her complexion and her reputation snow-white. But a man is satisfied if he can just manage to keep his so that they comply with the pure food laws. Art is inspiring, but you can't run your fingers through its hair; a career is absorbing, but you can't tie ribbons on the curls of your brain-children; work is ennobling, but, alas, it hasn't got a shoulder to cry on! When a girl refuses to kiss a man he is never disconcerted; he is merely astonished that she could be so blind to her own feelings. A summer resort is a place where a girl spends half her time in making herself alluring--and the other half in yearning for something to "lure." When a girl marries a man she is sadly aware that all his old sweethearts are wondering _how_ she did it, and that all her old sweethearts are wondering _why_. Marriage will never be safe until we stop making it an "ideal" and begin trying to make it a square deal. Just before marriage a man's coat lapel acquires that grayish look which comes from the constant contact with face powder, but it's wonderful how soon it brightens up and gets back its natural color after the wedding. Love is like appendicitis; you never know when nor how it is going to strike you--the only difference being that, after one attack of appendicitis, your curiosity is perfectly satisfied. No matter how many men have tried to flirt with her, a girl will step cheerfully up to the altar in the firm belief that she has found the one perfect human being in trousers who will never look at another woman. After marriage, a woman's sight becomes so keen that she can see right through her husband without looking at him, and a man's so dull that he can look right through his wife without seeing her. A man recuperates so much more quickly from his remorse than
