at sheepish look because every one of them is morally certain that he is a lamb being led to the slaughter. A WIFE sort of loses her awe and admiration for men after she has seen her husband without a collar and with his face covered with shaving lather and his top hair sticking up in tufts. [Illustration] A MAN seldom discovers that he hasn't married his affinity until his wife begins to get crow's-feet around the eyes. IF YOU want to be really popular pat a bald man on the head; call an old man "naughty boy"; treat a young man with timid respect; cling to a little man like the vine to the mighty oak, and tell a fat man how you love to dance with him. THE man who declares a friend innocent even when he knows he is guilty, and defends a woman's reputation even when it is scarcely worth defending, is not written down a liar by the recording angel.

THE most uncomfortable thing about being married is that you can never tell whether your friends are envying you or pitying you. [Illustration] ALL a man asks for in the love-game is beginner's luck. POKER and love are both games of bluff. A MAN has so many more temptations than a woman--because he knows where to go and find them. A MAN will sit on the edge of the bed, holding one shoe in his hand and gazing into space for half an hour, and then send the cook into hysterics and the waitress into nervous prostration because he has only ten minutes left in which to eat his breakfast. MOST bridal couples pile enough honey into the first month of matrimony to last a whole lifetime if thinned out and spread on economically.
