to a girl when her fiancé's sister takes her into his den and she sees her photograph standing on the mantelpiece between an actress in green tights and a cigarette ad.
A GIRL who has a brother has a great advantage over one who hasn't; she gets a working knowledge of men without having to go through the matrimonial inquisition in order to acquire it.
A MAN always pats himself on the back when he has composed a letter that breathes devotion, but would not be negotiable in a breach of promise suit.

THERE is nothing so easy for a man as forgetting; he scarcely takes time to throw a shovelful of dirt on the grave of a dead love before he is off pursuing a new one.
TO a man love is only a side dish; to a woman it's the whole feast.
THERE are few men constituted strong enough romantically to stand a daily diet of kisses, without getting sentimental nausea.
GENIUS, like anything else, needs distance to lend it enchantment; and the longer you are married to one, the more distance you are likely to give him.
BEFORE marrying a man, ask yourself if you could love him if he lost his front hair, went without a collar, smoked an old pipe, and wore a ready-made suit; all of these things are likely to happen.

IT'S a funny thing about being in love, that the minute a man begins to get serious he begins to get foolish.
A HUSBAND always expects his wife to look up to him, even if she has to get down on her knees to do it.

THE greatest proof that marriage is not a failure is that widows and widowers are always anxious to try it again.
THE only way to be happy with a husband is to believe everything he tells you—even when you know it isn't so.
IN love, a man's interest in the game is always deeper than his interest in the girl.

A MAN may like a girl ever so much until he finds out she likes him ever so much; then like cures like. See "Simple Homœopathy."
PROPOSING is like making welsh-rarebit; there isn't any reliable recipe for it and you can only tell whether or not you have done properly by the way it turns out.
AFTER a man has seen you cry two or three times it ceases to move him—except to move him out of the house.
THE color of a friend's finger nails or his socks has very much more weight with a snob than the color of his soul or his reputation.
IF a man would stick to his wife as he sticks to his seat in a street car, there wouldn't be much need for an alimony bureau.

AN old bachelor's looks may be well preserved, but his heart is always embalmed.
IT takes an awfully big man to own up to his wife that he was a little at fault in a quarrel.
WHEN a man gets a wife who makes him happy, he lays it to his perspicacity; when he doesn't, he lays it on fate.
LIFE is a game in four rubbers: hearts are trumps when a man is very young; clubs are trumps after he marries; diamonds are trumps as he waxes rich and gouty; and lastly—spades.
TO flirt inartistically is like stepping on a woman's toes when you are waltzing with her; it gives her real pain.
A MAN seldom marries when he loses his heart; he waits until he loses his head.
