Never make
love to a
woman
through™
an ink bottle’’
sounds
mighty
fine, but.
it needs
to be altered
in
these
days*'of
gelf-filling fountain
pens
and
indellible
pencils.
“‘Building castles
in the air’’ will
soon
have
to be
discontinued
if the aeroplane
business
continues
to soar.
He
was
'‘a case’’,
She
was
a flirt; Now
he’s out of place,
Tied o her skirt.
Some folks veto early marriage
on the
ground that the happy couple
soon
tire of
each
other.
Perhaps
that
may
be
as
it
is, but
about
the only fauit we can
find
with middle age marriage
is that the
sup-
posed tg be happy
couple
are
both tired of
st before
they settle down
to the
grind of
life.
:
LCVE!
There
is
nothing
iike
love.
So-called
love is
only
man’s
pent
up
de-
sire,
For
a
mate
to chase
away
Life’s
smouldering
fire, With
her warm caress,
And to win him
back
to
high
geod
hu-
mour with ner tenderness
Most-women
are
afraid
of
a
mouse.
One
wonders
how we
can
term
them
“‘spiteful cats’’.
. Certainly
the inference
isn’t very clear.
But perhaps
it
is only
one
of
many
means
of ‘‘pulling
their
legs’’.
“‘Come hither,
eome
hither,
my pretty
maid’’
‘‘No sir”’, said she,
‘‘for [
am
afraid’”’,
"‘Afraid of
what
my
dainty
dame ?”’
'‘Afraid, sir, of losing my good
name’
.

“EPIGRAMS AND WITTY SAYINGS’'.
Some people
say
that
money
will talk.
That’s a truthful and wonderful
phrase;
~ But we also know that
money
will walk,
Though it doesn’t
go far now a-days.
“Woman
is fickl>"”’, but
we
all
know
that.
Why
not
make
it:
‘‘Woman
is
brittle’’ for
a
change
?
Only
thar
de-
pends
on how you ‘‘touch’’ ’em.

Some
men swear

Some

it may sound

ny, But such
men
are always bum.
s
Marriage is
a lotterv,
*‘‘For betier
or

are like pot-
tery,
A tinkle! A crash!
Then
a curse!

We
ail know
girls
who
are
peaches,
We all
know
girls
who
are
tart;
But
there’s
just
ome
thing
history
teaches,
We know that
a girl has
a heart.
i
Diplpmacy
seems
to
be the
key-word
these
days.
But
the
girls
could
have
taught us that ages
ago.
.
Chaperons
seems
to have guite gone
out
of date.
Perhaps
the
explanation is
be-
cause
there
are so many
‘chaps
aroun’’
these
days.
:
‘‘What’s in a name,
a
rose by any name
will smell as
sweet’’.
This
may
have
been
a
bit of alright
in William’s day,
‘but it won’t
work in
these
days.
Just
you
go
and make the
fatal
mistake
of
calling your present
girl by her predeces-
sor’s name.
What’ll happen? Wait And
See,
that’s all.
