It Is true enough, too, that women are

In Chicago people get married at a

Many men unconsciously do little
things which affect their reputation

for instance.
A divorce court habitue has discov-

man the girl often overlooks a bunch
of real ones.
A kicker has decided that being jilted
by a girl and a dose of quinine are two
of the most bitter things in the world.
The charity of this world covers a
multitude of sinners who do not cara
a feather for any other covering.
The man who has never time to at-
tend to many things Is either a very;
useful man or a very useless one.
Many an old woman attempts wlttt

It is an open proposition whether the
