y so long and dangerous for the
average man.

Solomon may have been the most famous _husband_ who ever lived, but as a
_hero_ he isn't in it with the man who manages to get along happily and
contentedly all through life with just _one_ wife!

Woman! The peg on which the wit hangs his jest, the preacher his text,
the cynic his grouch, and the sinner his justification!

Everybody seems to be going through life at automobile speed nowadays;
but alas, there are no sentimental garages by Life's wayside at which we
may obtain a fresh supply of emotions, purchase a new thrill or patch up
an exploded ideal.

A man's work lasts from sun to sun, but his excuses for staying late at
the office are never done.

Every man wants a woman to appeal to his better side, his nobler
instincts and his higher nature--and another woman to help him forget

Never rush into a love affair. Love is a waiting game, which requires
nerve, concentration, and a poker face.

The average man marries one woman just in order to escape from a lot of
others--and then flirts with a lot of others just in order to forget
that he is married to one.

Once a girl's heart beat faster at the sound of her sweetheart's
footstep on the garden path; but now it requires the hum of a
twelve-cylinder motor-car to rouse her from her lassitude.

The one thing about love-making that the modern man simply can't

must really put a little _love_ in it.

In the war of the sexes a woman hides her scars of battle beneath a
smile and a coat of rouge. A man goes about displaying his as proudly as
though they were medals.

Occasionally one meets a man who plunges into a love affair as he
plunges into the surf, but most of them just sit back lazily on the
beach and let the waves of emotion splash harmlessly over them.

THE GREATEST SHOCK
A TEMPERAMENTAL
WOMAN CAN RECEIVE
IS TO WAKE UP AND
FIND THAT SHE IS
MARRIED TO A HUMAN
BEING INSTEAD OF AN
IDEAL

BRIDES

"NEVERS" FOR THE "RIB."

NEVER ask him to kiss you. Make your kisses a privilege, not a duty; a
luxury, not a morning and evening "chore."

Never refuse to kiss him--but sometimes keep him waiting a little while.
Love thrives so much better on the stimulant of suspense than on the
