SOME OF MAX O'RELL'S SAYINGS.
Marriage Is like stage scenery—it looks well from a distance. Woman is an angel who seldom appreciates a man who has not a bit of the devil In him. Women should have two 7 great alms in lif« —trying to t>9 beautiful and succeeding in being pleasant. The most religious woman will postpone an interview with her Maker for an appointment with her dressmaker. In our family life In France we preach a delightful philosophy. We preach the gospel, the duty of cheerfulness. Economy is a virtue, but carried to extremes it becomes stinginess, which is a fault, and ev&n avarice, which is a vice. If women showed to their husbands as much consideration as they do to their pet animals, the world would go much better. A man should marry a woman half his age plus seven. Try it at whatever age you like, and you will find it works very well. There comes a time when a woman has to make up her mind to choose between being called a "dear old souJ" or a "crabby old thing." In matrimony to retain happiness and make it last to the end, it is not a question for a woman to remain beautiful, it is a question for her to remain interesting.
