Even Satan could find a woman to call him "Dearie," if he would simply tell her that all he needed was "a beautiful woman's uplifting influence."

   A man may be guilty of stealing a girl's heart, but he always feels hurt and indignant if she refuses to take it back again after he has finished with it.

   Woman's love—a mirror in which a man beholds himself glorified, magnified and deified.

   Always try to be the "guiding star" of a man's life, but never make the mistake of fancying that you are his whole planetary system.

   A woman must keep her conscience, her complexion and her reputation snow-white. But a man is satisfied if he can just manage to keep his so that they comply with the pure food laws.

   Art is inspiring, but you can't run your fingers through its hair; a career is absorbing, but you can't tie ribbons on the curls of your brain-children; work is ennobling, but, alas, it hasn't got a shoulder to cry on!

   When a girl refuses to kiss a man he is never disconcerted; he is merely astonished that she could be so blind to her own feelings.

   A summer resort is a place where a girl spends half her time in making herself alluring—and the other half in yearning for something to "lure."

   When a girl marries a man she is sadly aware that all his old sweethearts are wondering

   she did it, and that all her old sweethearts are wondering

    why

   .

   Marriage will never be safe until we stop making it an "ideal" and begin trying to make it a square deal.

   Just before marriage a man's coat lapel acquires that grayish look which comes from the constant contact with face powder, but it's wonderful how soon it brightens up and gets back its natural color after the wedding.

   Love is like appendicitis; you never know when nor how it is going to strike you—the only difference being that, after one attack of appendicitis, your curiosity is perfectly satisfied.
