Ever meet a girl who was as pretty as her own picture? A misdirected search for happiness Is the stepmother of selfishness. And sometimes a word to the wife Is sufficient to stait something. To the man who says “I will" the chains of destiny are mere cobwebs.

Many a fellow never gets to the front because he is too fast. It is sometimes easier to do the proper thing than the right thing. On the other hand, a man is also the architect of his own misfortune. Too many men measure success by the standard of their own littleness. The most common form of pessi¬ mism is the belief that a good begin¬ ning makes a Lad ending.

One thing in favor of the man whose pants are shiny in the seat is ihat. they didn’t get that way from learning the sea lion dip at a tango temple. A woman will send flow r ers to a man who has murdered his wife. But she believes that any man who is the father of twelve children is too ornery to live.
