Reflections of a Bachelor.
When a secret is not a secret is
when it is a woman’s.
The mau who can’t be fooled by
a woman exists only in his own
imagination.
Surely the recording angel is
linieut with a man who has a big
family-in-law.
A woman thinks she is having a
real good time when shs can find
something to cry over without ac
tually feeling bad.
